A Survey of ADAS Technologies for the Future Perspective of Sensor Fusion

Traffic has become more complex in recent years and therefore the expectations that are placed on automobiles have also risen sharply. Support for drivers and the protection of the occupants of vehicles and other persons involved in road traffic have become essential. Rapid technical developments and innovative advances in recent years have enabled the development of plenty of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems that are based on different working principles such as radar, lidar or camera techniques. Some systems only warn the drivers via a visual, audible or haptical signal of a danger. Other systems are used to actively engage in the control of a vehicle in emergency situations. Although technical development is already quite mature, there are still many development opportunities for improving road safety. The further development of current applications and the creation of new applications that are based on sensor fusion are essential for the future. A short summary of capabilities of ADAS systems and selected ADAS modules was presented in this paper. The review was selected toward the future perspective of sensors fusion applied on the autonomous mobile platform.
