Advanced Collision Avoidance System

This project aims to develop a purely vision-based or vision-radar-sensor fusion based system which provides frontal collision alerts to warn drivers. This system detects vehicle at the front and estimates the possible time to collision according to the driver’s own vehicle speed. It enables early warning to the driver thus can prevent potential accidents. Similar system can be found recently in some flagship luxury car models. More…

Integrated Lane Assist System

This project aims to develop the Lane Assist System which provides real-time Lane Departure Warning (LDW) and Blind-Spot Detection (BSD) to drivers. LDW recognizes the lane markings on the driveways and detects whether the driver had drifted out of original lane unintentionally. BSD assists the driver in monitoring the lateral blind spot zones of his/her vehicle and deliver warnings if there are objects appear in the zones. More…

Pedestrian Warning and Protection System

1. An image based pedestrian detection and warning system for automotive application
2. Output warning when a pedestrian is detected with less than 2 seconds of time to collision
3. Detect only pedestrians that appear out of pavements to reduce unwanted warnings
4. CAN Bus connectivity for vehicle speed and warning system
5. Optional Yaw rate sensor connectivity to enhance vehicle path estimation  More…

Automobile Advanced Frontlight System

This is the first collaborative project from APAS Centre with 51% matching fund supported by single industry sponsor. Advanced Front Light Systems (AFS) controls the headlights adaptive to the bending direction and leveling changes of the road. This greatly enhances the visibility ahead of the roads which is very helpful for drivers traveling in dim situation, for instances, driving on highways or at countryside. More…
