5. Conclusions
This paper has described the variety of intelligent
Information Systems in modern cars and also the forthcoming
potential road safety ideas. Those particular systems
included: information from inside and outside the vehicle,
Navigation systems, Lane Keeping Assistant Systems, Braking
Assistant Systems, Distance Assistant Controlling Systems,
Night View Vision Assistant Systems, Beyond Intersection
Collision Detection Systems, Active Blind Spot Assist, and
Car to Car Communication Systems.
It can be clearly seen that, today, Information Systems
play a significant role toward road safety. However, systems
are only in some mass produced vehicles and not found
widespread among the driving community at this time. There
should be a thrust forward by the next generation of car
manufacturer, researcher, Government and so on to respond
to the developments, management and improvements of
effective systems to support those significant systems with
modern cars and fulfill their potential referring to road safety
in our modern life styles. Other suggestions from this paper
are; the systems should be able to communicate and share
information between car to car and to relevant infrastructures.
Secondly, the authority should agree on a common language
between system to system and protocols. Thirdly, the
developed system should be able to link to other systems or
technology already in everyday use. Finally, the systems
should assist in harmony when driving and not disturb one
during driving. These are the major challenging issues when
trying to improve the safety of tomorrow’s cars.
