The Effect of ADAS System on Driving Safety in a Heavy Electric Vehicle

Abstract

The use of intelligent technology has been widely applied to vehicles. ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance System) is one of the smart features embedded in vehicles, generally directed to assist in driving a vehicle and for safety, such as braking. The development of ADAS is the first step toward an autonomous vehicle system. The braking system currently relies on several detectors, namely Radar, LiDAR, and cameras. The current use of ADAS usually uses a radar system or the integration of radar and cameras. This article aims to analyze the impact of using ADAS in braking assistance with the help of a stereo camera as the object detector to know how much influence intelligent systems for ADAS in driving. Several speeds are compared to see the vehicle’s response and the effect of the applied speed with the camera properly. The results show that the speed response can be increased by 0.3 seconds to reduce the delay in the driver’s awareness response to identify the object in front of him. Furthermore, the use of a camera-based system as a tool in ADAS in this study can be used for medium speeds of about 50 km/hour.
