The Intersection of Technology and Driving: A Review of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems

The paper analyzes the architecture of ADAS, highlighting the key components like sensors, perception layer, decision-making layer, and action layer. It illustrates the flow of information within the system and explains the role of sensor fusion in creating a comprehensive understanding of the vehicle’s surroundings. It further discusses various ADAS functionalities and their benefits, including adaptive cruise control, automatic braking, traffic sign recognition, and blind-spot detection. Furthermore, it addresses the challenges associated with ADAS implementation in India, such as system accuracy limitations, sensor limitations, and lack of consumer awareness. It explores potential solutions like the implementation of ADAS on re-configurable heterogeneous MPSoC architectures for efficient real-time performance. The article ends by highlighting the promising future of ADAS technology and how it may transform driving efficiency, increase road safety, and improve the driving experience in general. It highlights the need for continued research and development to address pressing problems and pave the way for the widespread use of ADAS in a range of traffic scenarios, especially in India.
