How do ADAS systems work?

Introduction:

ADAS, or Advanced Driver Assistance Systems, are technologies that are increasingly being incorporated into modern vehicles. These systems are designed to help the driver perform driving tasks more safely and efficiently, and to prevent traffic accidents.

How do ADAS systems work?

ADAS systems use a variety of sensors, such as cameras, radar and LiDAR, to monitor the vehicle’s environment. These sensors collect information about the vehicle’s position, speed, direction of movement, the presence of other vehicles and obstacles, etc. This information is processed in real time and used to generate alerts or take corrective actions to avoid accidents.

What are the benefits of ADAS systems?

ADAS Systems offer a number of road safety benefits, including:

• Reduced accident risk: ADAS Systems can help prevent traffic accidents by detecting and alerting the driver to risky situations, such as the presence of other vehicles, pedestrians or obstacles on the road.
• Improved driving: ADAS Systems can help the driver maintain proper speed, follow the lane correctly and perform maneuvers safely.
• Increased comfort: ADAS systems can make driving more comfortable and relaxed for the driver by automating tasks such as braking or lane changing.

What are the most common ADAS systems?

Some of the most common ADAS systems are:

• Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB): this system detects the presence of a vehicle or obstacle on the road and automatically brakes to avoid a collision.
• Lane Departure Warning System (LDWS): This system alerts the driver when he/she is unintentionally leaving the lane.
• Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC): This system maintains a constant vehicle speed and automatically adjusts speed according to the speed of the vehicle in front.
• Traffic Sign Recognition (TSR): This system recognizes traffic signs and displays them to the driver on the instrument panel.
• Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM): This system alerts the driver to the presence of vehicles in the blind spot.

Some of these sensors work with a camera that’s  mounted on your windshield. When your windshield is replaced the sensors need to be recalibrated.
