Demo: Responding to an Unsafe Maneuver of Approaching Vehicles

Modern vehicles can detect events and react with other cars by communicating over vehicular networks. For example, the ego vehicle could detect the unsafe maneuvers of approaching vehicles and respond in coordination with other cars to prevent accidents. We focus on this application in this paper. The ego vehicle detects the unsafe cut-the-corner maneuver of turning vehicles. It forms a Vehicular Micro Cloud (VMC) and communicates with other cars over vehicular networks, and they collaboratively move backward to avoid collisions. We demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed application through driving simulator experiments. The experiments showed that the proposed application could prevent the potential collision caused by unsafe cut-the-corner maneuvers of turning vehicles.
