The overall objective of this project is to reduce traffic accident casualties and to synthesize the scientific
approaches for promoting road traffic safety. The core of the research is the development of an automobile device
called “Drive Recorder” for a study on incident mechanism from the viewpoint of vehicle engineering. The benefits
of equipping drive recorder are
(1) data record as a post-crash evidence,
(2) use of safety education program, and
(3) improving driving habits, and etc.
High-functionality drive recorder can capture the front-view image of vehicle and the image of driver, and the
vehicle dynamics data, such as vehicle speed, lateral and longitudinal acceleration, yaw rate, vehicle position from
GPS, ABS activation signal.
