Embedded machine learning-based road conditions and driving behavior monitoringIJECEIAES
Car accident rates have increased in recent years, resulting in losses in human lives, properties, and other financial costs. An embedded machine learning-based system is developed to address this critical issue. The system can monitor road conditions, detect driving patterns, and identify aggressive driving behaviors. The system is based on neural networks trained on a comprehensive dataset of driving events, driving styles, and road conditions. The system effectively detects potential risks and helps mitigate the frequency and impact of accidents. The primary goal is to ensure the safety of drivers and vehicles. Collecting data involved gathering information on three key road events: normal street and normal drive, speed bumps, circular yellow speed bumps, and three aggressive driving actions: sudden start, sudden stop, and sudden entry. The gathered data is processed and analyzed using a machine learning system designed for limited power and memory devices. The developed system resulted in 91.9% accuracy, 93.6% precision, and 92% recall. The achieved inference time on an Arduino Nano 33 BLE Sense with a 32-bit CPU running at 64 MHz is 34 ms and requires 2.6 kB peak RAM and 139.9 kB program flash memory, making it suitable for resource-constrained embedded systems.

46. Current EU PPDR Spectrum
CCSR, 26 May 2015
Only fully harmonised band is 380-400 MHz – only half of this is
available (2x5 MHz) and is used mainly by TETRA/TETRAPOL
Some specific frequencies in this band set aside for DMO and A2G
Many countries still have analog systems operating in a variety of
VHF and UHF bands (68 – 470 MHz)
Some countries already have specific bands identified for
broadband PPDR (e.g. video links) – main bands are 2.3 GHz and
3.5 GHz but precise frequencies vary
CEPT has attempted to harmonise spectrum around 5 GHz (4940-
4990 MHz and 5150-5250 MHz) for local area broadband PPDR,
but few countries have taken this up
Existing international bands used for satellite and fixed links
(generally shared with other users)
47. PPDR Spectrum needs - 1
CCSR, 26 May 2015
Wide area voice and messaging, e.g. TETRA
Wide area broadband, e.g. video
Local area communication, including:
Extending coverage of wide area networks
Direct communication between terminals
Ad-hoc local area networks
Air to ground communications (A2G), e.g. helicopters
Satellite communications, e.g. for remote areas and
disaster recovery
Fixed links, e.g. network backhaul or temporary links
48. PPDR Spectrum needs - 2
CCSR, 26 May 2015
Growing global consensus that additional spectrum is required for
BB PPDR (already implemented in some countries outside EU)
Should comprise low frequency (<1 GHz) for WAN and higher (e.g.
4940-4990 MHz) for WLANs
700 MHz strongly favoured for BB WAN – ECC PT49 has proposed
2x5 MHz dedicated band plus additional from adjacent mobile band
where needed
Also need spectrum for specialist apps like DMO and A2G
700 MHz centre gap / 2.3 GHz / 3.5 GHz?
BB LANs should use existing allocations around 5 GHz
Other potential bands of interest include
3G unpaired bands (1900-1920/2010-2025 MHz)
3G satellite bands (1980-2010/2170-2200 MHz)
Will still need 400 MHz for narrow band for some time
