DEFINITION
Pre-collision technology is a highly sophisticated automobile safety system that
reduces serious injuries during accidents. It is also known as collision avoidance
system, collision mitigating system, forward collision warning system and pre-crash
system. It’s a highly complex automobile technology in cars that combines active and
passive safety features to assist driver and avoid crashes.
A Brief History Pre-Collision Technology
Pre-collision systems were attempted as early as the late 1950s. An example is Cadillac, which developed a
prototype vehicle named the Cadillac Cyclone which used the new radar technology to detect objects in front
of the car with the radar sensors mounted inside "nose cones". It was deemed too costly to manufacture.

The first modern forward collision avoidance system was demonstrated in 1995 by a team of scientists and
engineers at Hughes Research Laboratories in Malibu, California. The project was funded by Delco
Electronics, and was led by HRL physicist Ross D. Olney. The technology was marketed as Forewarn. The
system was radar based – a technology that was readily available at Hughes Electronics, but not
commercially elsewhere. A small custom fabricated radar antenna was developed specifically for this
automotive application at 77 GHz.[16] In August 1997, the first production laser adaptive cruise control on a
Toyota vehicle was introduced on the Celsior model (Japan only).

1.Precrash System
2.Collision Mitigation System
3.Forward Collision Warning System
Radar systems work by emitting a radio wave from the hood of the vehicle.
Speed of travel and distance from other vehicles is determined by monitoring
changes in the Doppler Shift of the radio wave1 after it bounces off something and
returns to the point where it started.
Laser systems work by emitting an infrared laser beam from the hood of the
vehicle. When the beam hits another vehicle and reflects back to its source, laser
technology allows the distance between the two vehicles to be measured.
Camera systems Instead of relying on Doppler Shift readings or reflections, this
FCW system has a camera mounted on the front of the vehicle and an electronic
image-processor. The camera and image-processor are used to determine the risk
of frontal collision.
Audible alerts include bells, ringing sounds, and warning alarms.
Visual alerts include lights on the dashboard and simulated brake lights on the
windshield.
Tactile alerts include feeling the seatbelt tighten against the body and the car
jerking as it slows down (in systems that apply the brakes).
