Situation awareness for vehicular safety and autonomy functions includes knowledge of the drivable area. This area is normally constrained between stationary road-side objects as guard-rails, curbs, ditches and vegetation. We consider these as extended objects modeled by polynomials along the road, and propose an algorithm to track each polynomial based on noisy range and bearing detections, typically from a radar. A straightforward Kalman filter formulation of the problem suffers from the errors-in-variables (EIV) problem in that the noise enters the system model. We propose an EIV modification of the Kalman filter and demonstrates its usefulness using radar data from public roads.

An Adaptive Approach for Road Boundary Detection Using 2D LIDAR Sensor
Demir, S. O.; Ertop, T. E.; Koku, Ahmet Buğra; Konukseven, Erhan İlhan (2017-11-18)
Robotic ground vehicles are commonly used in various road conditions for performing special tasks with different levels of autonomy. This requires the robots to possess a certain degree of perception about the road conditions up ahead and make plans accordingly. It is essential for the robots to be able to quickly adapt their perception for various road conditions they operate. In this paper, an adaptive method for road boundary extraction using 2D LIDAR sensor is presented. A three-stage detection algorith...
Design and simulation of an integrated active yaw control system for road vehicles
Tekin, Gökhan; Ünlüsoy, Yavuz Samim; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2008)
Active vehicle safety systems for road vehicles play an important role in accident prevention. In recent years, rapid developments have been observed in this area with advancing technology and electronic control systems. Active yaw control is one of these subjects, which aims to control the vehicle in case of any impending spinning or plowing during rapid and/or sharp maneuver. In addition to the development of these systems, integration and cooperation of these independent control mechanisms constitutes th...
The effect of road safety advertisements on speeding behavior over time: A simulator study
Özkan, Özgün; Özkan, Türker; Department of Psychology (2022-3)
Countermeasures to prevent death and injury in traffic are important for traffic safety. Human error is a critical component associated with road traffic accidents. Therefore, various organizations and decision-makers are trying to prevent risky behaviors via different methods. One of the most used methods of raising awareness and creating behavioral change is traffic safety campaign videos. The focus of the present study is speeding, which is one of the most dangerous violations on the road. The study aime...
Psychometric adaption of the impulsive driver behavior scale in a Chinese sample
Ge, Yan; Qu, Weina; Zhou, Mu; Özkan, Türker; Bicaksiz, Pinar; Zhang, Kan (Elsevier BV, 2020-01-01)
Impulsivity plays an important role in aberrant driving behavior and crash involvement. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the reliability and validity of the Impulsive Driver Behavior Scale (IDBS, Bicaksiz & Ozkan, 2016a) with a Chinese sample. Two hundred and ninety-nine drivers completed the Chinese version of the Impulsive Driver Behavior Scale, the Driver Behavior Questionnaire, the Big Five Inventory and some social-demographic and traffic violation items. A confirmatory factor analysis indicat...
Predictors of intrinsic motivation behind seatbelt use in a country where current use is low
Milder, Caitlin M.; GUPTA, Shivam; Özkan, Türker; HOE, Connie; Lajunen, Timo (2013-12-01)
Context: Seatbelt use is a major determinant of a driver's safety on the road. In Turkey and other middle-income countries, seatbelt use is lower than in high-income countries and contributes to the higher burden of road traffic injuries. Assessing factors behind drivers' motivations to wear seatbelts can help determine appropriate interventions for specific subpopulations. Objective: To analyze the factors predictive of whether drivers who wear seatbelts in Afyonkarahisar and Ankara, Turkey do so because ...
