A Survey of Driving Safety With Sensing, Vehicular Communications, and Artificial Intelligence-Based Collision Avoidance
Abstract
Accurately discovering hazards and issuing appropriate warnings to drivers in advance or performing autonomous control is the core of the Collision Avoidance (CA) system used to solve traffic safety problems. More comprehensive environmental awareness, diversified communication technologies, and autonomous control can make the CA system more accurate and effective, thereby improving driving safety. In addition, the assistance of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology can make the CA system adapt to the environment and facilitate fast and accurate decisions. Considering the current lack of a thorough survey of driving safety with sensing, vehicular communications, and AI-based collision avoidance, in this paper, we survey existing researches for state-of-the-art data-driven CA techniques. Firstly, we discuss the major steps of CA and key research issues. For each step, we review the existing enabling techniques and research methods for CA in detail, including sensing and vehicular communication for safe driving, as well as CA algorithm design. Particularly, we present a comparison between the most common AI algorithms for different functions in the CA system. Testbeds and projects for CA are summarized next. Finally, several open challenges and future research directions are also outlined.

V2X classification can promote traffic safety by enabling real-time communication and information sharing between vehicles, providing rich traffic status information, and enhancing driver awareness and responsiveness.
“Promote traffic safety: V2X can achieve real-time communication and information sharing between vehicles, provide rich traffic status information, and enhance driver's awareness and responsiveness.Through V2X classification, different types of traffic participants can obtain the required information according to their own needs, thus forming a more efficient and safer transportation system [17].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
