ADAS and road safety ADAS Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) can provide personal assistance in a road environment that cannot always take into account the possibilities and limitations of the older driver. An analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of the older driver has shown that the most important need for support stems from the difficulties that older drivers have to: Judge whether fellow road users are approaching the same intersection and at what speed Notice other road users while merging and changing lanes ...

Regulations for on-road testing of connected and automated vehicles: Assessing the potential for global safety harmonization Although there is great media attention to connected and automated vehicles (CAVs) and strong public interest in the technology, it is still under development. Their deployment to the broader public will require new regulations and road traffic rules that are also under development, and there is not yet a globally harmonized approach. This paper reviews the main safety and liability issues for CAVs with a... [Lire la suite]

USING TELEMATICS IN PROFESSIONAL VEHICLE FLEETS A range of measures has been introduced to try and tackle this problem. Governments have updated legislation, clarifying the obligations of employers concerning the safety and well-being of their employees and ensuring that road safety is an integral part of this. Health and safety authorities have issued improved guidance for organisations, to help them abide by their legal responsibilities but also encouraging them to go beyond these requirements and be proactive in managing road...

Road safety with C-V2X – at a four-way ITS intersection, with no traffic signals Car companies Audi, Ducati, and Ford have joined with California chip maker Qualcomm to prove the “maturity and potential” of cellular vehicle-to-everything (C-V2X) technology by showing their vehicles navigating a crossroads by themselves. The showcase at the 2019 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas presented a “cooperative intersection” within an ‘intelligent transport system’ (ITS) mock-up, where the safety of the vehicles – variously,...

Tesla could beat Waymo in the race to self-driving future Autonomous driving technology is currently in its infancy, but evolving rapidly. More companies are testing autonomous vehicles than ever. Tesla and Waymo are two prominent names competing to capitalize on the opportunity of becoming the industry leader in the self-driving future, but employ different technologies to achieve those goals. One of the major difference between Tesla and Waymo is the sensors they use for self-driving. Tesla cars relies on computer vision and... [Lire la suite]

Beating Google, Tesla, this startup's self-driving truck is all set to hit Indian roads While the global giants may have decided to stay away from the dusty and the pothole-ridden roads of India in their race to be hailed as the pioneers of self-driven technology; a young Bengaluru-based startup believes the chaotic, poorly-kept roads of India are ideal grounds for them to master their self-driving technology."For us, the more chaotic the roads are, the more data we get and the more trained our algorithm becomes. Indian roads are... [Lire la suite]

About ADAS (Advanced Driving Support System) and AD (Autonomous Driving) ADAS (Advanced Driving Support System) is a part of a big concept of AD (Autonomous Driving).Autonomous Driving is classified into five levels according to the degree of automation,Levels 1 and 2 are positioned as "driving support", and so-called " Autonomous Driving " which the system judges is Level 3 or higher.ADAS is a "driving support function" to the last, and when a human drives a car.It is a function to support how to avoid accidents and make it...
