Adaptability Requirements for Effective Collision Avoidance Systems

Blum, J. and Eskandarian, A. (2002) "Adaptability Requirements for Effective Collision Avoidance Systems", Long Beach, CA: Intelligent Transportation Society of America 2002.

Abstract: Emergent Collision Avoidance Systems (CAS's) are beginning to assist drivers in performing specific tasks and extending the limits of driver's perception. The systems face significant hurdles in terms of safety and driver acceptance. In fact, CAS's may actually make the driving environment more dangerous. This paper demonstrates that adaptive capability is necessary to mitigate these concerns. Specifically, CAS's must adapt to a driver's style and limitations. Fortunately, a significant portion of this adaptive capability can be realized without additional sensors and with the inclusion of relatively simple hardware. The requirements of components of a CAS are discussed based on advances found in recent relevant literature. An architecture for an adaptive CAS is proposed.
