Commercial Global Positioning System (GPS) devices are being used in transportation for applications including vehicle navigation, traffic monitoring, and tracking commercial and public transit vehicles. The current state-of-practice technology in GPS devices typically has 10-meter accuracy and can properly answer the needs in the above applications. When it comes to safety, where driver behavior is important, new technologies for high-precision (i.e., centimeter-level) mobility detection are required. It is with high-precision GPS traces that safety can be evaluated by identifying when drivers are drowsy or distracted, and anticipating problems before they occur. Through this project, the team will build lowcost high-precision GPS devices, obtain GPS traces by placing the devices on buses, and analyzing the traces to identify driver behavior indicators that could anticipate a safety concern before it occurs.
