Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) / Front Assist Calibration / ADAS

Examples of ADAS

Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) / Predictive Adaptive Cruise Control (PACC)

Adaptive cruise control uses either Radar, Lidar or a camera to allow the vehicle to keep a predefined distance from the vehicle infront. As the leading vehicle slows, the vehicle following slows. As the leading vehicle accelerates, the vehicle following accelerates up to the maximum speed that has been selected by the driver. Predictive systems use a combination of navigation data and a camera in the windscreen to slow the vehicle for bends/junctions, and to automatically adjust the speed limit of the vehicle.

Lane keeping assist / Adaptive lane guidance

Uses a camera in the windscreen to detect road markings, and then assists the driving in keeping within the markings. Adaptive systems attempt to keep the vehicle central within the markings.

Traffic sign recognition 

Uses a combination of navigation data and data from a camera in the windscreen to display the correct road information to the driver.

High beam assist 

Uses a camera in the windscreen to automatically enable/disable the high beam, to assist in safe driving and prevent oncoming vehicles from being dazzled.

Blind spot assist / Rear cross traffic alert 

Works by using radars or cameras in the rear of the vehicle to alert the driver to vehicles in their blind spot whilst driving or reversing from parking spaces/ roads
