Camel-vehicle accidents mitigation system: Design and survey

Abstract

Animal-vehicle collisions (AVC) affect human safety, property and wildlife. Furthermore, the number of collisions with large animals worldwide and especially in the Saudi Arabia Kingdom has increased substantially over the last decades. The negative effects of AVC and the increase in collisions prompted the initiation for designing a deployable and intelligent Camel-Vehicle Accident Avoidance System (CVAAS) using global positioning system (GPS) technology. CVAAS can be classified as an Intelligent Transportation System (ITS). The use of GPS technology in this kind of application is a novel idea. This article provides a detailed discussion in there related literature review. Moreover, it discusses the high-level design of the CVAAS. © 2011 Springer-Verlag.
