Abstract

UTMS´21 has an infrared beacon as the key infrastructure and is designed to provide drivers with traffic information through two-way communication between individual vehicles and to realize a safe, comfortable and environment friendly traffic society. The system consists of some subsystems, and one of them is a DSSS, which coordinates the traffic control infrastructure advancing function and the car intellectualizing function to improve safety in car traffic and to reduce accidents. The dangerous zone avoidance control system was considered to be most effective to avoid head-on collisions and rear-end collisions among these systems under examination and was selected as the field trial system for introduction
