ADAS Advanced Driver Assistance

There has been little advancement of intelligent transportation systems research dedicated to motorcycle safety. Motorcycle ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) could improve the safety of the rider as well. There is however a nrrmber of obstacles that will likely lead to a slower uptake compared to passenger cars, including the challenges posed by the Human Machine Interface rcqrrircments, costs and the required support from the motorcyclists community. In spite of these obstacles, ITS has a role to play to increase motorcycle safety in the future. e-Call, blind spot detection, curve and collision warning systems are suitable applications for the motorcycle - once sufficiently developed for them. 

CMS are only an intermediate step on the way to the final goal. They help the driver to keep an expanded and, from a quality point of view, always best overview. The number of built-in cameras will grow steadily, but not aU images have to be displayed. Many serve the driver only as sensors for ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) and certainly help him move in traffic. The processing of information is then no longer a human brain but is taken over by a technical brain.

Recent decades have witnessed increasingly more developments in traffic and transport with a focus on ITS, or intelligent transportation systems. The main purposes of ITS are to improve road safety and traffic flow, and to decrease emissions. ITS can be applied both outside and inside the vehicle. In the case of in-vehicle applications, they are often referred to as advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS). This chapter will only focus on ITS in roadway applications. For a review of behavioural adaptation and ADAS, the reader is referred to Chapter 9. 

The focus of this chapter is to provide a selection of BA that can be linked to in-vehicle ITS or advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS). In-vehicle information and communication systems (IVIS) are not covered by this chapter as they are not ordinarily constructed as safety systems (although there are almost certainly effects of their use on safety). 

It is quite common for ADAS, which essentially function in the same way, to be known by different names. Some vehicle manufacturers, for whatever reasons (marketing, brand product ideals, legal reasons), prefer to categorise their ADAS as comfort systems, whereas others refer to their systems as active safety systems. For the sake of argument, these systems are referred to in this chapter as advanced driver assistance systems or ADAS. 

In-vehicle information systems (IVIS) and advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) have the potential to assist drivers with the complex demands associated with the driving task (Vrkljan and Miller-Polgar, 2005). For older drivers, in particular, these systems have the potential to help drivers avoid hazardous driving situations by accommodating for age-related vision, cognitive, and physical changes that... 

The automotive domain will continue to change in the future, for instance cars are becoming more and more connected, ADAS (Advanced Driving Assistance Systems) will more and more help the driver and sometimes take hand on the car, and maybe one day our car will become fully autonomous The automotive industry is therefore facing new major technical challenges, with very important safety and security stakes. 

If the imagery is not displayed, hut rather is used for information extraction, as in machine vision applications such as advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), then gamma correction is not required. 

If the CMS is connected to Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), the interfaces to these systems have to be shown as well, and the advices in the dedicated sub-chapter at the end of this chapter should be respected.
