Vector Solutions for Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS)

Overview: What Is Advanced Driver Assistance Systems?

Driver assistance systems (acronym: ADAS) are electronic components in vehicles. They do the following:

• Assist the driver
• Enhance safety
• Improve convenience and economy.

A crucial factor for success is a full detection of the car's surroundings with all relevant objects. This includes reliably predicting how a traffic scenario will develop. Different sensors acquire the vehicle's surroundings, and the sensor data is then analyzed and merged in the ECUs.

Challenges in the development of ADAS

Large quantities of data from different sensors such as radar, lidar, ultrasonic, laser and video-based systems must be visualized and validated.

Fundamental tasks in ADAS development are:

• Developing multi sensor applications
• Sensor data fusion
• Design of probabilistic algorithms
• Integrating image processing
• Automated evaluation of large quantities of data
• Object validation
• Quick access to internal ECU data
• Integrating ECUs into a network
