IoT Based Wide Area Road Surface State Sensing and Communication System for Future Safety Driving

Abstract

In order to realize future safe automotive driving environment, road state condition technology is very important. In this paper, a new generation wide area road surface state information platform based on IoT based sensing and V2X technologies is introduced. In IoT sensing, various environmental sensors camera and GPS are integrated on vehicles to precisely detect the various road surface states and determine the dangerous locations on GIS. Those road information are transmitted the neighbor vehicles and road side server in realtime using V2X communication network. Driver can receive the road surface status information from the vehicle in opposite direction or road side server and eventually pay attentions to his/her driving before encountering the danger location. This technology can also lead to automotive driving by automatically controlling the car speed and direction.
