A real-time drive assistance system and method are provided. The system includes a centralized architecture capable of determining and preventing, in real time, potentially dangerous road situations, increasing road safety. The system is based on a communication network obtained through specific portable mobile communication devices exchanging information related to the state of a plurality of vehicles in motion along a road network. The method includes periodical acquisition and sending of the information to a centralized processing unit using the wireless communication system of each portable mobile communication device; processing of the information in order to verify the occurrence of potential dangerous situations for the drivers of each vehicle; and sending of warning or danger signals to one or more of the portable mobile communication devices that can alert the drivers of the vehicles.

Real-time drive assistance system and method

A motor-vehicle driving style estimating system () of a motor-vehicle, comprising a measuring apparatus () of a kinematic signal representative of a motor-vehicle motion quantity trend (v(t)). The system is characterized in that it further comprises a kinematic signal low-pass filtering module () configured to provide a corresponding reference filtered signal associated with a reference trend of said quantity (v(t)). Furthermore, the system comprises a kinematic signal and reference filtered signal processing module () configured to provide an indication of the driving style depending on a comparison of the motor-vehicle motion trend with the reference trend.
