6.8 Conclusion
This chapter has presented the challenges faced by intersection collision detection systems. We
have investigated the features required in a cooperative intersection collision warning and avoidance
systems that are able to adapt to various characteristics of intersections.
We have proposed the U&I Aware framework, which is a generic and real-time context-aware
framework for collision detection and warning at road intersections. The following qualities have
been incorporated into the U&I Aware framework: adaptability of the framework to various
intersections, improvement of performance and scalability of the collision detection (or prediction)
process, usage of
