One of the key aspects of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) is ensuring the safety of the driver by maintaining a safe drivable speed. Overspeeding is one of the critical factors for accidents and vehicle rollovers, especially at road turns. This article aims to propose a driver assistance system for safe driving on Indian roads. In this regard, a camera-based classification of the road type combined with the road curvature estimation helps the driver to maintain a safe drivable speed primarily at road curves. Three Deep Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) models viz. Inception-v3, ResNet-50, and VGG-16 are being used for the task of road type classification. In this regard, the models are validated using a self-created dataset of Indian roads and an optimal performance of 83.2% correct classification is observed. For the calculation of road curvature, a lane tracking algorithm is used to estimate the curve radius of a structured road. The road type classification and the estimated road curvature values are given as inputs to a simulation-based model, CARSIM (vehicle road simulator to estimate the drivable speed). The recommended speed is then compared and analyzed with the actual speeds obtained from subjective tests.

The transport network and mobility aspects are constantly changing, and major changes are expected in the coming years in terms of safety and sustainability purposes. In this paper, we present the main conclusions and analysis of data collected from a survey of drivers in Spain and Portugal regarding user preferences, highlighting the main functionalities and behavior that an advanced driver assistance system must have in order to grant it special importance on the road to prevent accidents and also to enable drivers to have a pleasant journey. Based on the results obtained from the survey, we developed and present a working prototype for an advanced driver assistance system (ADAS), its architecture and rules systems that allowed us to create and test some scenarios in a real environment.

Electric-vehicle technology is an emerging area offering several benefits such as economy due to low running costs. Electric vehicles can also help to significantly reduce CO 2 emission, which is a vital factor for environmental pollution. Modern vehicles are equipped with driver-assistance systems that facilitate drivers by offloading some of the tasks a driver does while driving. Human beings are prone to errors. Therefore, accidents and fatalities can happen if the driver fails to perform a particular task within the deadline. In electric vehicles, the focus has always been to optimize the power and battery life, and thus, any additional hardware can affect their battery life significantly. In this paper, the design of driver-assistance systems has been introduced to automate and assist in some of the vital tasks, such as a braking system, in an optimized manner. We revamp the idea of the traditional driver-assistance system and propose a generic lightweight system based on the leading factors and their impact on accidents. We model tasks for these factors and simulate a low-cost driver-assistance system in a real-time context, where these scenarios are investigated and tasks schedulability is formally proved before deploying them in electric vehicles. The proposed driver-assistance system offers many advantages. It decreases the risk of accidents and monitors the safety of driving. If, at some point, the risk index is above a certain threshold, an automated control algorithm is triggered to reduce it by activating different actuators. At the same time, it is lightweight and does not require any dedicated hardware, which in turn has a significant advantage in terms of battery life. Results show that the proposed system not only is accurate but also has a very negligible effect on energy consumption and battery life.

Life Threatening

Vehicle collision leading to life threatening accidents is a common problem which is incrementing noticeably. This necessitated the need for Driver Assistance Systems (DAS) which helps drivers sense nearby obstacles and drive safely. However, it’s inefficiency in unfavorable weather conditions, overcrowded roads, and low signal penetration rates in India posed many challenges during it’s implementation. In this paper, we present a portable Driver Assistance System that uses augmented reality for it’s working. The headset model comprises of five systems working in conjugation in order to assist the driver. The pedestrian detection module, along with the driver alert system serves to assist the driver in focusing his attention to obstacles in his line of sight. Whereas, the speech recognition, gesture recognition and GPS navigation modules together prevent the driver from getting distracted while driving. In the process of serving these two root causes of accidents, a cost effective, portable and holistic driver assistance system has been developed.

A vision-based driver assistance system using fuzzy rules to determine whether warnings are necessary is presented. This system is comprised of four cameras, one of which focuses on the driver for estimating the driver’s viewing angle, another focuses on the road ahead for the detection of road condition ahead, and the last two cameras are on both sides of the vehicle, facing backward, for the purpose of determining whether neighboring lanes are occupied by vehicles hidden in the blind-spots. The system uses fuzzy-rules for the analysis of interactions between the driver’s gaze, whether there are vehicles ahead, and in the neighboring lanes to determine whether the current driving condition should be of concern to the driver and issues one of three levels of warnings, from safe to dangerous.

Safe Driving

The prime motive of the automobile industry is to improve safety in driving machines and avoid accidents. Traffic rules and regulations drafted by the law aren’t followed by many citizens. This is another reason for an accident. Accidents sometimes are unintentional. Some serious acts like drunk and drive, ignoring the signboards, and over speeding might result in severe causalities. To prevent situations like these we seek the Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS). ADAS has the potential to increase safety and provide comfort driving. Driving situations are electronically controlled and decisions are simplified for the driver. Old people may also receive plenty of benefits from this technology. ADAS is designed with a humanmachine interface which tends to improve road safety marginally. Accidents caused by human error can also be minimized. ADAS helps the driver to automate, adapt and enhance the vehicle system for safe driving. Passive safety technologies like wearing seatbelts and airbags cannot prevent road fatalities. Modern technology like ADAS is different from traditional and passive technology and minimizes the fatalities consistently. ADAS also alert the driver of potential problems and helps in maintaining the stability of the vehicle under critical circumstances. Safety features are implemented to take control of the vehicle during collisions. ADAS relies on inputs from multiple sources like the brake assistant, pressure control system, lane departure warning system, road sign identification, etc. Additional features can also be customized based on the needs of the driver. In this paper methods to prevent over speeding, vehicle collisions, and driver alertness systems are discussed. RFID readers are used for sensing the speed limit in the signboards. The speed of the vehicle is managed based on the reading obtained from the tags. Sensors like ultrasonic, alcohol detector, gas sensor, temperature sensor are used to measure other parameters to enhance the safety measure while driving.
