An Integrated Solution Based Irregular Driving Detection

Part of the book series: Springer Theses ((Springer Theses))

Abstract

This chapter reviews the current state of knowledge regarding safety problems that lead to traffic accidents. It then analyses one potential solution to these safety problems, in the form of ITS, providing a definition and theoretical overview, describing the architecture of ITS and exploring its classification and applications. Finally, the role of Positioning, Navigation and Timing (PNT) is highlighted to show the importance of high-end GNSS technology in transport safety related ITS applications.
