ADAS is used by in-vehicle systems to help the driver in their driving process. Designed with a safe Human-Machine Interface it should increase vehicle safety and more generally road safety and save fuel. It can be used as a driving aid with real-time feed back to the driver using an HPI interface and also for driver training. The data and the driver’s responses can be a useful tool in assistance fleet managers in calculating risk and driver league indexing.
So called map based applications enable vehicles to ‘see’ beyond the horizon through the use of web-enabled mobile phone applications. By integrating with speed control systems fuel costs have been reduced by and average of 15%.
The key features include:
|
Navteq or OS electronic horizon with |
Significant reductions in emissions together with substantial fuel savings |
ROI is high with minimal incremental |
Examples of such a system are:
- In-vehicle navigation system with typically GPS for providing up-to-date traffic information
- Adaptive cruise control (ACC)
- Slow for sharp curves
- Control of acceleration on exits
- Lane departure warning system
- Lane change assistance
- Collision avoidance system (Pre-crash system)
- Intelligent speed adaptation (ISA)
- Night Vision
- Adaptive light control
- Pedestrian protection system
- Automatic parking
- Traffic sign recognition
- Blind spot detection
- Driver drowsiness detection
- Vehicular communication systems
- Hill descent control
- Electric vehicle warning sounds used in hybrids and plug-in electric vehicles
- Hydrogen demand
- Air conditioning demand on stop start technology
