Development of technical solutions for development of a commercial vehicle driver assistance systems

Abstract

As the world’s stock of cars is growing, the number of road accidents per each 100000th resident is going up as well. To avoid road accidents or to mitigate their consequences nowadays driver assistance systems are used. Pre-requisites and first steps of driver assistant systems development and integration in series-produced vehicles are presented in this article. Review of current solutions is given and technical regulation development trends in this field are considered. An option of driver assistance systems integration on the platform of GAZelle NEXT is offered. It has also been detected that current series-produced GAZelle NEXT vehicles provide no opportunity of external control over actuating devices. This factor hinders development of domestically made vehicles and reduces their export potential. Force and kinematic analysis of the steering system is presented in MSC ADAMS/View program package. Also a number of system designs is presented for further mounting on “GAZ Group” vehicle family, having a feature set of recognizing vehicles, road signs, pedestrians, road marking and traffic lights; warning of possible head-on clash and leaving the traffic lane. Field research of the developed driver assistant system has been carried out. Ways of further integration of driver assistant systems in series-produced “GAZ Group” vehicles are mapped out.
