Driver assistance systems to the rescue

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) July 14, 2010 -- The most common suite of driver assistance technologies available today includes adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning systems, and parking assistance systems.

In all of these systems, sensors play a key role. Lasers, radar and video cameras represent some of the sensors currently available for monitoring a vehicle’s immediate surroundings, many of them now in their second and third generation of development.

While current driver assistance applications are gradually expected to permeate down the car segments, object and pedestrian recognition is on the horizon as a logical evolution of rapidly developing camera technology.

Traffic sign recognition is another emerging benefit of camera-based technologies.

However, automatic steering intervention is still a delicate issue in the industry because changing course opens up the possibility of vehicle collision with another obstacle. One industry participant told just-auto that escape route guidance (automatic emergency steering) is likely to be the 'last resort' collision mitigation action, engaged only when braking alone cannot avoid a severe collision.
