Safety Evaluation of Fog Warning Systems in a Connected Vehicle Environment Based on Sample Entropy
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Changes in driving behavior caused by reduced visibility in fog can lead to crashes. To improve driving safety in fog weather, a fog warning system based on connected vehicle (CV) technology is proposed. From the perspective of human factors, this study evaluates the driving safety based on drivers’ speed change under different fog levels (i.e., no fog, light fog, and heavy fog) and different technical levels (i.e., normal, with a dynamic message sign (DMS), and with a human-machine interface (HMI)). The driving behavior data were collected by a driving simulation experiment. The experimental road was divided into three zones: clear zone, transition zone, and fog zone. To quantify the change of vehicle speed comprehensively, the speed and acceleration were selected. Meanwhile, the vehicle speed safety entropy and acceleration safety entropy were proposed based on sample entropy theory. Furthermore, the changes of each index in different zones were analyzed. The results show that the use of fog warning system can improve speed stability and driving safety in fog zones and can make the driver decelerate in advance with a smaller deceleration before entering the fog zones. The higher the technical level is, the earlier the driver decelerates. Under the condition of light fog, the fog warning system with HMI has a better effect in terms of improving speed stability, while under the condition of heavy fog, there is little difference between the two technical levels. In general, this study proposed a novel safety evaluation index and a general evaluation method of the fog warning system.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
