Reducing Risk of Rollover in Curve for Heavy-Duty Vehicles with an Agent-Based Advanced Driver Assistance System

In Brazil, highway transportation is responsible for 58% of cargo transport. A relevant problem associated to cargo transport are the accidents. Incompatible speed and fatigue were pointed out as main causes of accidents. The adoption of an advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) for anticipating warning of overspeed for a curve may reduce rollover risks. In other words, it would mitigate the problem by helping the driver to maintain the vehicle in a safe speed, through customized alerts just in time that allow the driver to take corrective maneuvers in case of unsafe state. In this paper, we present an agent-based approach to address this problem.
