Demo: Missed An Exit? Confusion Zone Detection
Seyhan Uçar, Takamasa Higuchi, Onur Altintas · 2023
Drivers may get confused for any number of reasons. For example, due to confusion, they miss their intended exits in some regions. In such cases, confused drivers should loop back around. However, some drivers exhibit risky driving (e.g., back up on the highway or perform abrupt lane changes). Inferring such zones where most drivers get confused could be helpful. Drivers can use such prior knowledge and plan their exits or turns accordingly. In this paper, we focus on this use case. Connected vehicles share their location data with the remote server, and the remote server examines data to identify turn loops in real time. The region becomes a confusion zone when a turn loop is executed by several vehicles. We demonstrate the feasibility of confusion zone detection through a simulation-based demonstration.
