A Description of Available Systems This chapter provides a very rough description of the available Advanced Driver Assis- tance System (ADAS).The systemsaregroupedto formashortandclear list. Although car manufacturers may give their systems different names, the following paragraphs de- scribe the basic concepts behind the different types of systems. A.1. ACC and FSRA Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) and Stop-and-Go Adaptive Cruise Control (FSRA) are systems that support drivers in theirdriving tasks. The systems hold the vehicle at a set speed and ensure a set inter-vehicle distance from a proceeding slower moving vehicle. The difference between ACC and FSRA is that FSRA systems are able to control the vehicle to zero speed, whereas ACC system only work above a defined minimum speed. Both systems are comfort-oriented systems. A detailled description of ACC and FSRA systems is given in chapter 2. A.2. FCW and AEB Forward Collision Warning (FCW) and Automatic Emergency Brake (AEB) systems are safety-oriented systems that help to prevent accidents or mitigate the severity of accidents. FCW systems just warn the driver of a potential rear-end collision, while AEB systems also apply the brakes. There are already various versions of AEB systems available on the market. Some of them perform partial braking, some use full braking,
