Advanced driver assistance systems

Advanced Driver Assistance Systems, or ADAS, are systems to help the driver in its driving process. When designed with a safe Human-Machine Interface it should increase car safety and more generally road safety. Examples of such a system are:

• In-vehicle navigation system with typically GPS and TMC for providing up-to-date traffic information.
• Adaptive cruise control (ACC)
• Lane departure warning system
• Lane change assistance
• Collision avoidance system (Precrash system)
• Intelligent speed adaptation or intelligent speed advice (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
