Description
Summary:The latest studies show a critical increase in the number of traffic incidents that threaten several thousands of lives every year. Many factors can cause such incidents, but statistically, human errors are among the most significant. Drivers have limited brain processing capabilities that can get overwhelmed based on many factors that relate to the driver age, health situation, consciousness level, etc. In this paper, a new system called Vehicle Road Sign Controller is presented, that will help drivers focus on driving while it takes care of delivering all the needed traffic information from road signs. This system has three levels of interaction with the driver: notifying of road sign information by way of visual and auditory cues, prompting which will alert the driver in case of a sign is, or about to be, disobeyed, and controlling which will control the behavior of the driver based on road signs.
