A multi-sensor collision avoidance system (CAS) presented in this paper is based on a fusion scheme that utilizes fuzzy clustering and estimation techniques. Measurements fiom radar, vision and sonar are discriminated, fused and used to estimate relative motion between the prime and fiont vehicles. The estimated motion is then used to predict possibility of collision with the vehicle in the headway. Fuzzy logic is employed to initiate an audio and visual warning system. It also deploys a throttle relaxer and brake actuator to slow down the prime vehicle. Simulation study was carried out to evaluate the CAS concept. An actual concept prototype was implemented on a military vehicle to validate the feasibility'.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
