Truck Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) Solution-Feiling Embedded

As the number of vehicles increases, we often see news about traffic accidents, and most of these accidents are related to large trucks, so much so that large trucks have become "road killers" in the eyes of many people. According to the survey data of the Volvo Truck Accident Research Group, 90% of truck accidents are caused by driving errors, such as the driver of the accident vehicle being distracted or misjudging the speed.

So, is it possible to reduce the occurrence of such things through some means?

As a result, various assisted driving systems have begun to enter people's field of vision. For example, trucks are equipped with more advanced safety equipment and safety systems to improve driving visibility, realize driving reminders, etc. Next, let's explain the help brought by assisted driving from several aspects.

1. Anti-fatigue driving assistance system

According to statistics, fatigue driving is often the biggest safety hazard during transportation. The best way to solve it is to ensure rest. However, due to various practical problems, drivers cannot take timely and adequate rest on the road. At this time, if the anti-fatigue driving assistance system can be "considerate and thoughtful" to accompany the driver and improve driving safety, it will be a very commendable software.

The anti-fatigue driving assistance system is an intelligent system used to track and record the driver's driving behavior.

The system can detect driving characteristics that occur when the driver is sleepy or inattentive. If the system determines that fatigue driving occurs, the system will sound an alarm and display an alarm message on the display to remind the driver to pay attention to safety and take a rest.

The advantage of this function is that it can reduce the risk of accidents caused by driver inattention or reduced vigilance due to fatigue driving, thereby improving driving safety.

2. Lane keeping system

Lane departure is one of the common causes of many traffic accidents, so lane keeping systems came into being. The system can monitor driving behavior and the position of the vehicle relative to the lane and the edge of the road during driving. It tracks the road markings through a camera, and when the vehicle accidentally crosses the markings, the system will sound an alarm to remind the driver to pay attention.

The main application area of ​​this system is long-distance transportation on highways. In this case, trucks generally travel at a constant speed in a monotonous environment, and drivers are easily fatigued, distracted or inattentive. When the vehicle deviates from the lane, the system will promptly issue an alarm signal to remind the driver to pay attention, thereby avoiding accidents.

3. Blind spot monitoring system

Due to the characteristics of large trucks, they have many blind spots, mainly on the left and right sides and the rear. How to make the blind spots have "eyes" is also a very important task for assisted driving. Through the radars and cameras installed on both sides and the rear of the vehicle, the driver can clearly understand the status of the blind spots during driving and easily avoid potential risks, which not only improves the driver's comfort but also improves the driving safety factor.

4. Remote monitoring alarm system

The system functions include: driving impact recording, vehicle status monitoring, automatic storage of dangerous situation videos, and alarm linkage. In today's era of big data, these functions can provide clear and accurate basic data, uniformly manage all vehicle maintenance and repair record history, and combine the average fuel consumption, battery voltage, coolant temperature, engine speed and other information collected through the vehicle CAN bus to achieve refined management of the vehicle, eliminate safety hazards, and reduce vehicle maintenance costs.

Seeing this, we can't help but ask, a driving assistance system with such powerful functions must be quite large, right? How can such a product fit in a narrow cab?

If you think so, you are wrong. Choosing an embedded motherboard based on the ARM platform can reduce the size as much as possible while achieving the function.

For example, the Feiling FETMX6Q-C core board solution: (existing upgrade solution iMX8MQ core board/iMX8MP core board)

The entire board is only 40mm*70mm in size, and uses four ultra-thin connectors with a height of 1.5mm, with up to 320 pins, leading out all the functional pins of the processor. It is not only equipped with mainstream interfaces such as Gigabit Ethernet, CAN-bus, camera, WiFi & Bluetooth, but also leads out CPU-specific functions such as MIPI, MLB, EIMBUS, etc.; there is a mature and available PCIE adapter solution, which can be connected to a 4-way analog camera module, taking into account both performance and cost. The industrial-grade design ensures stable operation in harsh environments.

Vehicle safety systems are constantly evolving, and excellent automakers are eagerly looking forward to zero collisions in the future. Driving in the future will require more than just hands, and Level 2 driving automation (or assisted driving) has almost penetrated all vehicles. It acts as the second pair of eyes and hands that drivers need, and is the basis for achieving a higher level of autonomous driving. Feiling embedded arm core board empowers assisted driving, and Feiling embedded arm core board is a professional choice for the development and manufacturing of traffic equipment!
