This book concentrates on improving the prediction of a vehicleâs future trajectory particularly on non-straight paths. Having an accurate prediction of where a vehicle is heading is crucial for the system to reliably determine possible path intersections of more than one vehicle at the same time. The US DOT will be mandating that all vehicle manufacturers begin implementing V2V and V2I systems so very soon collision avoidance systems will no longer rely on line of sight sensors but instead will be able to take into account another vehicleâs spatial movements to determine if the future trajectories of the vehicles will intersect at the same time. Furthermore the book introduces the reader to some improvements when predicting the future trajectory of a vehicle and presents a novel temporary solution on how to speed up the implementation of such V2V collision avoidance systems. Additionally it evaluates whether smartphones can be used for trajectory predictions in an attempt to populate a V2V collision avoidance system faster than a vehicle manufacturer can. .
