Research abstract
This SBIR topic seeks to resolve two problems: First, is to increase the national seat belt use rate. A driver feedback sign specifically designed for seat belt detection is an effective countermeasure against unbelted driving. The second problem is the cost and effort of observational seat belt studies. This will be addressed by the development of an automated seat belt detection device.
The objective of this project is to develop a road side seat belt detection system that can:
* achieve 99.5% accuracy under various traffic, weather, and lighting conditions
* be deployed in 15 minutes by an untrained individual
* operate for 3 days with no intervention
