  • Design and Validation of Safety Cruise Control System for Automobiles
    DESIGN AND VALIDATION OF SAFETY CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM FOR AUTOMOBILES Jagannath Aghav and Ashwin Tumma Department of Computer Engineering and Information Technology, College of Engineering Pune, Shivajinagar, Pune, India {jva.comp, tummaak08.comp}@coep.ac.in ABSTRACT In light of the recent humongous growth of the human population worldwide, there has also been a voluminous and uncontrolled growth of vehicles, which has consequently increased the number of road accidents to a large extent. In lieu of a solution to the above mentioned issue, our system is an attempt to mitigate the same using synchronous programming language. The aim is to develop a safety crash warning system that will address the rear end crashes and also take over the controlling of the vehicle when the threat is at a very high level. Adapting according to the environmental conditions is also a prominent feature of the system. Safety System provides warnings to drivers to assist in avoiding rear-end crashes with other vehicles. Initially the system provides a low level alarm and as the severity of the threat increases the level of warnings or alerts also rises. At the highest level of threat, the system enters in a Cruise Control Mode, wherein the system controls the speed of the vehicle by controlling the engine throttle and if permitted, the brake system of the vehicle. We focus on this crash area as it has a very high percentage of the crash-related fatalities. To prove the feasibility, robustness and reliability of the system, we have also proved some of the properties of the system using temporal logic along with a reference implementation in ESTEREL.

Based on the human driver behavior characteristics extracted from naturalistic driving studies (NDS), this paper proposed the testing and evaluation method for ACC systems, which considers safety and human-like at the same time. Firstly, usage scenarios of ACC systems are defined and test scenarios are extracted and categorized as safety test scenarios and human-like test scenarios according to the collision likelihood. Then, the characteristic of human driving behavior is analyzed in terms of time to collision and acceleration distribution extracted from NDS. According to the dynamic parameters distribution probability, the driving behavior is divided into safe, critical, and dangerous behavior regarding safety and aggressive and normal behavior regarding human-like according to different quantiles. Then, the baselines for evaluation are designed and the weights of different scenarios are determined according to exposure frequency, resulting in a comprehensive evaluation method. Finally, an ACC system is Citation: Liu, L.; Zhang, Q.; Liu, R.; tested in the selected test scenarios and evaluated with the proposed method.

  • Adaptive Cruise Control System Overview
    5th Meeting of the U.S. Software System Safety Working Group April 12th-14th 2005 @ Anaheim, California USA Adaptive Cruise Control System Overview 1 Introduction Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is an automotive feature that allows a vehicle's cruise control system to adapt the vehicle's speed to the traffic environment. A radar system attached to the front of the vehicle is used to detect whether slower moving vehicles are in the ACC vehicle's path. If a slower moving vehicle is detected, the ACC system will slow the vehicle down and control the clearance, or time gap, between the ACC vehicle and the forward vehicle. If the system detects that the forward vehicle is no longer in the ACC vehicle's path, the ACC system will accelerate the vehicle back to its set cruise control speed. This operation allows the ACC vehicle to autonomously slow down and speed up with traffic without intervention from the driver. The method by which the ACC vehicle's speed is controlled is via engine throttle control and limited brake operation. 2 Definitions and Physical Overview clearance ACC Vehicle (time gap = clearance / vehicle speed) Target Vehicle Forward Vehicle Figure 1 – ACC Vehicle Relationships 1 2.1 Definitions Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) – An enhancement to a conventional cruise control system which allows the ACC vehicle to follow a forward vehicle at an appropriate distance. ACC vehicle – the subject vehicle equipped with the ACC system. active brake control – a function which causes application of the brakes without driver application of the brake pedal. clearance – distance from the forward vehicle's trailing surface to the ACC vehicle's leading surface.

  • Paving the Way to Self-Driving Cars with ADAS (Rev. A)
    Paving the way to self-driving cars with advanced driver assistance systems Hannes Estl Worldwide Systems Marketing for Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), Texas Instruments Recent publicity has attracted the public eye to the development of automated vehicles, especially Google’s experimental cars that have logged thousands of self-driven miles with minimal help from human drivers. These events are truly impressive, and in the long term will help revolutionize vehicle operation and our experience of driving. But the excitement about self-driving cars can make it easy to overlook numerous short-term developments by automotive manufacturers that are equally important in transforming the act of driving. Collectively known as Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), these developments are designed to make cars safer, and their gradual introduction is already improving road safety. In addition, ADAS features represent an evolution in vehicle sensing, intelligence and control that will ultimately lead to self-driving cars. ADAS technologies exist at different levels of active Volume production of automobiles with fully assistance and are being introduced in overlapping autonomous control is probably a decade away stages. Driver information systems, such as simple at this time, although as today’s experiments rear-view cameras, surround-view displays, and demonstrate, the essential technology for self- blind spot and lane departure warnings, provide driving cars already exists. However, advanced information but leave the driver in full control at all electronic systems take up much of the space in times. Partially autonomous systems, such as lane- automated test vehicles and are far more expensive keep assistance and active cruise control, enable than the cars themselves.
