A road accident ranks first in terms of population mortality. The main factor in an accident is driver error. The driver shall be as much attentive and concentrated on the road as possible. A few seconds, and your life is in danger. But time does not stand still, and progressive companies offer to replace the driver with artificial intelligence.
Corporations like Google and Yandex travel millions of kilometers with their smart cars. With each kilometer, the artificial driver becomes more perfect. But today, it is still too early to talk about full automation, so there is an intermediate option.
Let’s find out what ADAS is. This is a system of elements that are included in the complete set of the car or installed additionally; they are designed for the driver’s safe behavior on the road. If a dangerous situation is created or exists on the road, the system notifies the driver about it, thereby automating and ensuring a high level of vehicle safety..
The main components of the system include:
- emergency driving system
- steering auto control
- pedal control
- phone call system
There are several types depending on the functional purpose of the ADAS system, namely:
Adaptive – it adapts to work due to the data obtained from outside
Automated – it ensures the safety of the driver, performing functions that are not available to them
Monitoring –it uses special sensors and video cameras to assess the situation on the road near the car, and if necessary, makes decisions and interferes with the transport management process.
Warning – it indicates about a possible danger on the road.
How to find out if ADAS is installed in your car. To do this, you need to check the windshield and rear parts of the case. If sensors are available, then most likely, the system is installed.
Forward Collision Warning System – fast approach control function. If the coming closure takes place at speeds of up to 30 km/h, the driver will receive a beep and a picture on the screen.
Lane Departure Warning System – control of the exit from the lane, control of the car in terms of road markings and its borders. If there is a violation, the driver will receive a notification about it.The function starts working in motion, starting from 60 km/h.
Forward Vehicle Stop Alarm - кa useful feature if the car is stuck in a traffic jam or heavy traffic. The function indicates the start of movement of the car, if the moment was missed by the driver, in front of the car standing before you.
Pedestrian Detection Warning System – an element of the pedestrian detection system that warns about the appearance of objects in front of the car at a certain speed seconds before the collision. It requires the installation of a special camera with narrow optics
Blind Spot Detection – an element of the blind spot monitoring system.
It signals about an object in blind spots and requires additional cameras or sensors in addition to the standard dual-camera DVR
Moving Сar Вetection – dangerous start of car movement, uncontrolled car movement is monitored and a warning is given about it. It is meant when driving a car down a hill.
Speeding – if there is a GPS module and appropriate settings on the screen and sound, the driver is warned about exceeding the set speed limit.
Rearview camera - it works similarly to a parking camera in 2-channel system; when moving backwards, a picture from the rear camera appears on the screen of the video recorder
Emergency call an alarm button or an automatic trigger that notifies the emergency services via the Internet or via SMS of your phone about the event, when the G-sensor of a certain force is activated (as if an accident occurred).
Dangerous situations and accidents on the road are not uncommon. The human factor, namely, inattention, irritability, lack of sleep plays a big role in the driver’s behavior on the road. And safety on the road is, first of all, the safety of not only the driver but also all road users (pedestrians, cyclists). By installing the ADAS system, the level of safety is improved, as well as the driving style is automated.
