A NEW INTELLIGENT DRIVER VIGILANCE SYSTEM DESIGN USING TILT SENSORS by Ali Zuhair Ghazi Zahid, Karrar Shakir Muttair, Oras Ahmed Shareef, Abbas Ali Diwan, Hazeem Baqir Taher, Raed Hameed Chyad Alfilh, Ahmed Mahmood Farhan, Mahmood Farhan Mosleh, Faiz Arith

“…This work aims to identify sleepy status, pinpoint the onset of sleep, and alert the driver when their level of alertness drops below a level that does not improve productivity or the vehicle's overall safety protocols to prevent drowsiness-related crashes. In this article, we present a new method for implementing drowsiness detection inexpensively, using a Raspberry Pi as a central processor board that connects all practical measurement components. …”

Simulation and Modelling of Safety of Roadways in Reverse Horizontal Curves (RHCs): With Focus on Lateral Acceleration by Maziyar Khanjari, Ali Abdi Kordani, Mohammad Zarei

“…As a type of horizontal curve, the reverse horizontal curves (RHCs) are one of the most critical types of road locations where many accidents occur due to slippage resulting from the centrifugal force of the vehicles. These crashes can increase dramatically if the RHC is combined with a longitudinal slope (downgrade or upgrade). …”
