AUTOSAR Adaptive Platform - AP

Image
The AUTOSAR Adaptive Platform is a newer AUTOSAR platform that is designed to support the development of more complex and safety-critical automotive software. It is based on a service-oriented architecture and uses a publish-subscribe communication paradigm. The AUTOSAR Adaptive Platform provides a number of features that are not available in the AUTOSAR Classic Platform, such as: Support for real-time operating systems:  The AUTOSAR Adaptive Platform supports a wider range of real-time operating systems than the AUTOSAR Classic Platform. Support for virtualization:  The AUTOSAR Adaptive Platform supports virtualization, which allows multiple operating systems to run on the same hardware platform. Support for cloud computing:  The AUTOSAR Adaptive Platform supports cloud computing, which allows automotive software to be developed and deployed in the cloud. Support for safety-critical applications:  The AUTOSAR Adaptive Platform provides a number of features that are ...

Lane Detection in ADAS

Image
Lane detection is a computer vision task that involves identifying the boundaries of lanes on a road. This is a critical task for many advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), such as lane departure warning (LDW) and lane keeping assist (LKA). There are two main approaches to lane detection: Image-based lane detection :  This approach uses a camera to capture images of the road, and then uses computer vision techniques to identify the lane boundaries. LiDAR-based lane detection :  This approach uses a lidar sensor to scan the road, and then uses computer vision techniques to identify the lane boundaries. Image-based lane detection is the most common approach, as it is relatively inexpensive and can be implemented using off-the-shelf hardware. However, image-based lane detection can be challenging in difficult conditions, such as poor lighting or rain. LiDAR-based lane detection is more accurate than image-based lane detection, but it is also more expensive and requires more ...

Comparison of RADAR LIDAR and Camera in ADAS

Image
As you can see, each sensor has its own strengths and weaknesses. Radar is accurate and long-range, but it is not as good at identifying objects as lidar or cameras. Lidar is accurate and high-resolution, but it is expensive and can be affected by weather. Cameras are high-resolution and can identify objects, but they can be affected by glare and have a limited range. Radar is a type of sensor that uses radio waves to detect objects. It is a mature technology that is relatively inexpensive and can be used in a variety of weather conditions. However, radar has a limited field of view, which means that it cannot see objects that are directly behind or to the sides of the vehicle. Lidar is a type of sensor that uses laser light to create a 3D map of the environment. It is a more accurate and precise sensor than radar, but it is also more expensive and can be affected by weather conditions. Camera is a type of sensor that uses optical images to identify objects. It is a relatively inexp...

Radar Sensors in ADAS

Image
Radar sensors are used in ADAS to detect the distance and speed of other vehicles, as well as the shape and size of objects in the road. This information is used by the ADAS system to perform a variety of tasks, such as: Adaptive cruise control:   Radar sensors are used to detect the distance and speed of the vehicle in front of the ADAS-equipped vehicle. This information is used by the ADAS system to adjust the speed of the ADAS-equipped vehicle to maintain a safe distance from the vehicle in front. Lane departure warning:  Radar sensors can be used to detect if the ADAS-equipped vehicle is drifting out of its lane. If the ADAS system detects that the vehicle is drifting out of its lane, it will warn the driver. Blind spot monitoring:   Radar sensors can be used to detect if there are vehicles in the blind spots of the ADAS-equipped vehicle. If the ADAS system detects that there are vehicles in the blind spots, it will warn the driver. Forward collision warning:  Ra...

Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) - How it works

Image
The internal blocks related to adaptive cruise control (ACC) system and their functionality are as follows: Radar sensor: The radar sensor is used to detect the distance and speed of other vehicles. It is typically mounted in the front of the vehicle, and it uses radio waves to scan the road ahead. The radar sensor sends out a signal, and when it bounces back from an object, the sensor can determine the distance and speed of the object. Control unit: The control unit is the brains of the ACC system. It receives data from the radar sensor and uses this data to determine the speed of the vehicle. The control unit then sends a signal to the actuator, which controls the brakes or accelerator. Actuator: The actuator is responsible for applying the brakes or accelerating the vehicle. It receives a signal from the control unit, and it then applies the brakes or accelerates the vehicle as necessary. Front camera: The front camera is used to detect lane markings and the prese...

Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)

Image
Adaptive cruise control (ACC) is a type of Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) that automatically adjusts the speed of a vehicle to maintain a safe distance from the vehicle in front of it. ACC systems use radar or lidar sensors to detect the speed and distance of other vehicles, and they use this information to adjust the speed of the vehicle accordingly. ACC systems use a variety of sensors to monitor the road and surrounding environment, including: Radar : Radar sensors are used to detect the distance and speed of other vehicles. Laser : Laser sensors are used to detect the distance and speed of other vehicles, as well as the shape and size of objects in the road. Camera : Cameras are used to detect the lane markings and the presence of other vehicles. ACC systems can be classified into two main types: Full-speed range :  Full-speed range ACC systems can operate at all speeds, from a standstill to the maximum speed of the vehicle. Partial-speed range:   ...
