The world is moving forward. Are you?
Technology has advanced so much that driving, which was once a very complex task, has become slightly simpler. Even autonomous vehicles are not a pipe dream anymore.
All because of Video Telematics and Advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS).
In this blog, let’s look into Advanced Driver Assistance Systems and how this nifty technology helps vehicles go forward safely.
While walking, it is simple to fend for yourself from any impact on any side from anywhere, right? It is only in very specific circumstances that you risk bumping into something, right?
It’s not that you’re seeing everywhere, but you can just sense when something or someone enters your space.
How cool would it be if you could drive in sensors as you walk, right?
Well, now it is possible with ADAS.
Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) is a set of functions that senses any current/possible activity in the vehicle’s vicinity with the help of dashcams and proximity sensors. By sending notifications and alerts regarding possible collisions, ADAS helps drivers have a safer and easier driving experience. |
As you can see from the above definition, ADAS is:
Advanced driver-assistance system is the basis for building more vigilance and visibility of vehicles and others on the road to avoid collisions.
Seeing is believing. And that is exactly what ADAS helps drivers and managers do.
Driving has become a much simpler ordeal because of dashcams. After all, drivers do not have to rely on mirrors and peek out of windows to approximate the distance between the vehicle and objects anymore.
ADAS works through an intricate connection between hardware (proximity sensors and dashcams) and software (video telematics software or fleet management software).
Hardware picks up cues, such as the vehicle’s distance from the nearest surrounding. It can pick things such as other vehicles, pedestrians, traffic signals, obstructions, lane lines, etc. It then sends this data to the fleet management software in question, which in turn sends messages to drivers or managers, whoever is set to receive the notification through the software.
In advanced systems, these signals can even lead to the vehicles responding and taking action to save it. These systems can trigger manual or automated vehicle responses such as braking, steering, etc.
ADAS is a very powerful function carried out by fleet management software’s video telematics system. Through the data collection, analysis, and integration process, you can get these notifications:
By now, it should be pretty clear that ADAS is a pretty powerful feature. To keep your fleet-centric business ahead of the competition, it is crucial to adopt new technology like ADAS. However, if you are still not convinced enough, let us look at the importance of ADAS:
Having an extra pair of eyes or extra sensory input while driving seems pretty cool, right? Well, wait till you see how this ability created through advanced driver assistance systems can be used in fleets – commercial or not.
Automated driving in autonomous vehicles has been long speculated as something major to achieve in the automobile industry. While ADS plays a huge role in building an autonomous fleet, it is far from being automated driving itself.
Let us look at the key differentiators:
The world is moving forward – and so should you!
The technical world is very fast-paced and the only way to stay ahead of the competition is by leveraging smart technology. Video telematics, ADAS, DMS, and more such features from fleet management software are crucial to help your business grow at full speed.
So, what are you waiting for? Start working with reliable fleet management solutions with robust ADAS capabilities!
