Definition:
ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) refers to a set of technologies designed to enhance vehicle safety by assisting drivers with tasks such as collision avoidance, lane-keeping, adaptive cruise control, and parking assistance.
What are ADAS?
ADAS consists of electronic systems that use sensors, cameras, radar, and AI to help drivers operate vehicles more safely and efficiently. These systems provide real-time data and automate certain driving functions to reduce human error. For example, adaptive cruise control adjusts the vehicle's speed based on traffic conditions, while lane departure warning alerts the driver if the car unintentionally drifts out of its lane. ADAS plays a crucial role in reducing accidents and enhancing road safety, paving the way for autonomous driving technologies.
Use Cases of ADAS:
- Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC): Adjusts speed to maintain a safe following distance from other vehicles.
- Lane Departure Warning (LDW): Alerts the driver when the vehicle unintentionally drifts out of its lane.
- Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM): Warns the driver of vehicles in their blind spots.
- Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB): Detects potential collisions and applies brakes automatically.
- Parking Assistance: Uses cameras and sensors to assist with parking maneuvers.
- Traffic Sign Recognition (TSR): Detects and displays road signs, such as speed limits and stop signs.
- Driver Drowsiness Detection: Monitors driver behavior and alerts them if signs of fatigue are detected.
