While the acquired images constitute the fundamental input for any vision based system, transforms on images become essential to derive and gain insight into certain specific features. These derived features are used and reused at multiple places for varied automotive applications. This situation warrants a scalable and flexible image processing platform for a class of automotive applications. An attempt is made in this Research work to propose architecture that, specially, includes a layer of image transformations and to implement a prototype image processing platform. Inverse Perspective Mapping (IPM), a widely used class of transforms is emphasized in the present architecture alongside other nominal transforms. Lane departure warning system is implemented on this platform for the purpose of illustration and to analyze the effectiveness of the proposed architecture</span>

This paper addressed a new lane departure warning system (LDWS). We used the side-view cameras to promote Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS). A left side-view camera detected the right lane next to vehicle, and a right side-view camera detected the right lane. Two cameras processed in their algorithm and gave warning message, independently and separately. Our algorithm combined those warning messages to analyze environment situations. At the end, we used the LUXGEN MPV to test and showed results of verifications and tests.

In this paper we will present an application of advanced Low Temperature Cofired Ceramic (LTCC) technology beyond 60 GHz. Therefore a RF frontend for 76–81 GHz radar frequency was built. LTCC is a well established technology for applications for consumer handheld units &lt;5 GHz but will provide solutions for applications for high frequencies in the range of 60 GHz and beyond. Radar sensors operating in the 76-81 GHz range are considered key for Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) like Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), Collision Mitigation and Avoidance Systems (CMS) or Lane Change Assist (LCA). These applications are the next wave in automotive safety systems and have thus generated increased interest in lower-cost solutions especially for the mm-wave frontend section.

One of the most widely used advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) for preventing pedestrian–vehicle collisions is the intersection collision warning system (ICWS). Most previous ICWSs have been implemented with in-vehicle distance sensors, such as radar and lidar. However, the existing ICWSs show some weaknesses in alerting drivers at intersections because of limited detection range and field-of-view. Furthermore, these ICWSs have difficulties in identifying the pedestrian’s crossing intention because the distance sensors cannot capture pedestrian characteristics such as age, gender, and head orientation. To alleviate these defects, this study proposes a novel framework for vision sensor-based ICWS under a cloud-based communication environment, which is called the intersection pedestrian collision warning system (IPCWS). The IPCWS gives a collision warning to drivers approaching an intersection by predicting the pedestrian’s crossing intention based on various machine learning models. With real traffic data extracted by image processing in the IPCWS, a comparison study is conducted to evaluate the performance of the IPCWS in relation to warning timing. The comparison study demonstrates that the IPCWS shows better performance than conventional ICWSs. This result suggests that the proposed system has a great potential for preventing pedestrian–vehicle collisions by capturing the pedestrian’s crossing intention.

In this paper, we propose a novel method to estimate a goal of surround vehicles to perform a lane change at a merging section. Recently, autonomous driving and advance driver-assistance systems are attracting great attention as a solution to substitute human drivers and to decrease accident rates. For example, a warning system to alert a lane change performed by surrounding vehicles to the front space of the host vehicle can be considered. If it is possible to forecast the intention of the interrupting vehicle in advance, the host driver can easily respond to the lane change with sufficient reaction time. This paper assumes a mandatory situation where two lanes are merged. The proposed method assesses the interaction between the lane-changing vehicle and the host vehicle on the mainstream lane. Then, the lane-change goal is estimated based on the interaction under the assumption that the lane-changing driver decides to minimize the collision risk. The proposed method applies the dynamic potential field method, which changes the distribution according to the relative speed and distance between two subject vehicles, to assess the interaction. The performance of goal estimation is evaluated using real traffic data, and it is demonstrated that the estimation can be successfully performed by the proposed method.

Driver behaviour and distraction have been identified as the main causes of rear end collisions. However a promptly issued warning can reduce the severity of crashes, if not prevent them completely. This paper proposes a Forward Collision Warning System (FCW) based on information coming from a low cost forward monocular camera for low end electric vehicles. The system resorts to a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and does not require the reconstruction of a complete 3D model of the surrounding environment. Moreover a closed-loop simulation platform is proposed, which enables the fast development and testing of the FCW and other Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS). The system is then deployed on embedded hardware and experimentally validated on a test track.

This study investigated peoples’ opinion on auditory interfaces in contemporary cars and their willingness to be exposed to auditory feedback in automated driving. We used an Internet-based survey to collect 1,205 responses from 91 countries. The participants stated their attitudes towards two existing auditory driver assistance systems, a parking assistant (PA) and forward collision warning system (FCWS), as well as towards a futuristic augmented sound system (FS) proposed for fully automated driving. The respondents were positive towards the PA and FCWS, and rated their willingness to have these systems as 3.87 and 3.77, respectively (1 = disagree strongly, 5 = agree strongly). The respondents tolerated the FS. The results showed that a female voice is the most preferred feedback mode for the support of takeover requests in highly automated driving, regardless of whether the respondents’ country is English speaking or not. The present results could be useful for designers of automated vehicles and other stakeholders.

The advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) are one of the issues to protecting people from vehicle collision. Collision warning system is a very important part of ADAS to protect people from the dangers of accidents caused by fatigue, drowsiness and other human errors. Multi-sensors has been widely used in ADAS for environment perception such as cameras, radar, and light detection and ranging (LiDAR). We propose the relative orientation and translation between the two sensors are things that must be considered in performing fusion. we discuss the real-time collision warning system using 2D LiDAR and Camera sensors for environment perception and estimate the distance (depth) and angle of obstacles. In this paper, we propose a fusion of two sensors that is camera and 2D LiDAR to get the distance and angle of an obstacle in front of the vehicle that implemented on Nvidia Jetson Nano using Robot Operating System (ROS). Hence, a calibration process between the camera and 2D LiDAR is required which will be presented in session III. After that, the integration and testing will be carried out using static and dynamic scenarios in the relevant environment. For fusion, we use the implementation of the conversion from degree to coordinate. Based on the experiment, we result obtained an average of 0.197 meters
