Intelligent Vehicle Technology – Detailed Study

Notes

1. Introduction to Intelligent Vehicles (IV)


An Intelligent Vehicle (IV) is a vehicle equipped with perception, reasoning, and actuating systems
that automate driving tasks such as safe lane following, obstacle avoidance, and overtaking slower
traffic. The goal is to improve safety, convenience, and efficiency.

2. Goals and Vision


Reduce global road accidents, improve efficiency, and enhance driver comfort and automation for
safer transportation.

3. Benefits of Intelligent Vehicles


Safety (fewer accidents), Convenience (driver assistance), Efficiency (fuel and time savings), and
Performance (stability and comfort).

4. Sensing Devices
Key sensors include Lidar (laser-based distance), Radar (object detection via radio waves),
Cameras (lane and obstacle recognition), and Ultrasonic sensors (parking and blind-spot
monitoring).

5. Safety Systems
Divided into Passive (post-crash protection) and Active (accident prevention) systems.

6. Passive Safety Systems


Mitigate injury during and after crashes. Components include Airbags, Seatbelts with pretensioners,
and Crumple Zones to absorb crash energy.

7. Active Safety Systems


Prevent or minimize accidents before they happen. Examples include ABS, TCS, ESC, and ADAS.

8. Anti-lock Braking System (ABS)


Prevents wheel lock-up during braking using sensors, ECU, and hydraulic modulator. Maintains
steering control and stability.

9. Traction Control System (TCS)


Prevents wheel slip during acceleration by reducing engine torque or braking individual wheels.

10. Electronic Stability Control (ESC)


Detects understeer or oversteer and applies brakes to specific wheels to maintain control.

11. Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS)


Includes Cruise Control, Adaptive Cruise Control, Forward Collision Warning, Automatic
Emergency Braking, Lane Departure Warning, Lane Keeping Assist, Blind Spot Detection, Curve
Speed Warning, and Parking Assist.

12. Self-Driving and Connected Vehicles


Self-driving vehicles combine all ADAS features for autonomous operation. Connected vehicles use
V2V and V2I communication for improved safety and traffic efficiency.

13. Performance and Convenience Systems


Includes active suspension, adaptive lighting, noise suppression, auto-dimming mirrors, climate
control, and infotainment systems.

14. Summary of Intelligent Vehicle Evolution


Vehicle safety has evolved from passive (seatbelts, airbags) to active (ABS, ESC) to intelligent
(ADAS, automation). The future aims at fully autonomous vehicles with V2V/V2I connectivity.
