Title Child safety driver assistant system and its acceptance
Bibliographic information 2nd Quarter 2009, Vol.14, No.2, p.82-89. Illus. 21 ref.
Abstract Electronic devices that deliver information about the presence of children in the blind spots surrounding agricultural vehicles and their attached machines need to cover all security gaps, ensure collision-free stopping in risk situations and be inexpensive. Wireless sensor network and electrical near-field electronic components are suited to the development of low-cost wireless detection devices. For reliable detection in a versatile environment, it is necessary for children to continuously wear a transponder. This means that children and adults must have a high acceptance of the device, which can be ensured by easy usability, a comfortable design and service quality. This article describes a system that achieved detection distances of up to 40m in the far field and 2.5m in the near field.
