ABSTRACT
The first part of this paper looks into the technologies related
to smart cars and modern technologies to improve safety. These
technologies are broken down into four broad, distinct classifications of
devices:
collision avoidance,
adaptive cruise control,
imaging, and
Navigational aids.

INTRODUCTION:
COLLISION AVOIDANCE:
Collision-avoidance systems will expand the paradigm of traffic
safety from protecting the occupant of the vehicle to preventing accidents
altogether.
hope that it can be modified to assist drivers merging onto major roads and
maybe even to allow it to work with stop lights the same way it does with
stop signs. They’re also contemplating modifications to allow the system to
brake automatically on its own whenever it activates, rather than only
issuing a passive warning
Other safety innovations that are now in testing include automatic
collision notification systems, which will immediately signal for help if a
vehicle's air bag deploys, and drowsy-driver warning systems that will keep
drivers from falling asleep at the wheel.

about free parking lots or the cheapest nearby gas station. And for safety
reasons, such systems will announce this information through speakers
instead of showing it on a displ
SMART VISION:
Run-Flat Tires
Goodyear recently announced its intention to build such tires for most cars.
But the really big shift will be when most new cars come with tires that can
keep on going even after a complete loss of air. They can't run indefinitely,
but can be used for about the same distance and at similar speeds as today's
compact spares. When automakers use these tires, it will eliminate the need
for a spare tire, saving cargo space and weight while improving fuel
economy. The idea of never having to change a flat tire is also a wonderful
convenience for the driver.
Smart Brakes
Fig 7: ABS
Anti-lock brakes (ABS) have been touted as being a major asset in
the fight against accidents, preventing cars from skidding on slippery
surfaces. But ABS has not proven as effective as its engineers had hoped.
The problem is that people still don't know how to use them. In many cases,
people fail to push the brake pedal firmly enough at first. Braking is less
effective and a car travels quite a bit of extra distance

access points and then be whisked along in a train of cars. Punch in your
exit and the car leaves the line at that point and normal driving control is
returned to the driver. This technology is still many years in the future, but
testing is already going on in such places as Tokyo and San Diego.
HARDWARE ARCHITECTURE:
A pair of video cameras serves as the eyes for the vehicle. The
cameras are mounted on a horizontal bar near the rear-view mirror. The
horizontal scan lines of both cameras must be tightly aligned and strictly
parallel to the line joining their optical axes. The cameras' optical axes must
be coplanar, as well. These specifications are needed because the vision
system must infer a correspondence between the scan lines of one camera
and those of the other. These video cameras provide progressive-scan
images with 720 x 576-pixel resolution.
VOLVO’S “SCC”:
Active rearview mirrors: Sensors in rear of the car alert the driver
when a car is in driver’s “blind spot”.
Night vision: Volvo proposes using infrared night vision in the SSC.
