LLISION WARNING AND AVOIDANCE SYST

Collision warning and avoidance systems aim to avoid the
risk represented by an obstacle in the vehicle path.
The system is composed of a sensor to measure the
distance, angular position and relative speed of obstacles.
An elaboration unit identifies the obstacles on the
trajectory
Commonly used technologies involves laser and
microwave radars, which are more suitable for adverse
weather conditions (eg. Fog) than other technology
Two different approaches in order to manage the user
interaction:
1. Limited to warning messages issued by the system
2. Automatic braking intervention in case the driver fails to
react.

A forward collision warning system operates, generally in

the following manner:
A sensor installed at the front of the vehicle constantly scans the
road ahead for vehicles or obstacles.
When an obstacle is found, the system determines whether the
vehicle is in imminent danger of crashing into it, and if so, a
collision warning is given to the driver.
Most systems are non-co-operative, i.e. the detection is
independent of whether other vehicles on the road are equipped
with collision avoidance devices or not.
An alternate technology relies on vehicle to vehicle
communication to exchange information on vehicles presence,
location, lane of travel, and speed, among other factors.
In addition to the front-end sensor, in this case vehicles require a
rear end transponder as well, since communication, and
therefore detection, only occurs among equipped vehicles.

Intersection collision avoidance

It provides a warning to the driver when a potential for collision
exists at an intersection.
Due to the complexity of the intersection collision problem, it is
anticipated that a cooperative vehicle infrastructure solution will
be necessary.
Complexities include detecting vehicles on intersecting
roadways and determining the intent of these vehicles in terms
of slowing down, turning and potentials for violations of traffic
control devices.
Research efforts so far have used two different technologies:
1. A camera placed at the side of the frontal part of the vehicle,
able to see oncoming vehicles when they are 25-20m away
from the junction
2. a short range car to car communication system
. Current prototypes transfer the intersection image inside the car
