Safety Lighting Sensor Robots Communicate in the Middle of the Highway/Roads

Abstract

A new robot-to-robot communication system is designed for operation in the middle of highways/roads to support mobile safety of approaching vehicles. Robot devices capable of directing a vehicle on a bypass route using the proposed vehicle guidance method are detailed. The safety device includes a detector configured to detect a vehicle approaching the sensor robot and an image projector configured to project an image onto the road surface of the approaching vehicle when the vehicle is recognized. Robots can interact in two ways: (1) directly with drivers in the car to avoid the lane problem and (2) among sensor robots in ad-hoc networks, to transfer the information to the cloud to distribute via the mobile app for users far away from the location. In summary, the research results show that the sensor robots and mobile app mainly operated from 6 a.m. to 10 a.m. and provided customized service by modifying/solving uncommon sudden events on the road quickly.
