Advanced driver assistant system: A simulation of pedestrian tracking and detection system

ADVANCED DRIVER ASSISTANT SYSTEM: A Simulation of Pedestrian Tracking and Detection System ABSTRACT In this research, I introduce general automotive electronic systems, automotive safety systems and advanced driver assistant systems. Additionally, pedestrian tracking and detection system, is one of the ADAS systems, are simulated. The main reason why I got interested in this study is automotive industry`s showing progress more with the development of electronic systems. One of my objective is to make extensive literature research in this thesis. In this regard, this research will show the development of automotive technology from the beginning of the 21st century. This research will be helpful reference point for the field not only in terms of understanding the automotive electronic industry but also in terms of facilitating to understand the future developments of the automotive industry. In this study, the automotive electronic systems are evaluated briefly by the researcher. The main purpose of this thesis is to introduce architecture of electronic systems and use of them in present. Desire to make safer vehicles and to build safer roads aiming to reduce the number of casualties caused by the traffic accidents, and the legislative arrangements prepared by the leading countries are the incentives for the demand of Automotive Electronics. There are many factors that have influence on designing a vehicle, creating the controlling system and the well functioning of whole system in an automotive. For instance; many types of algorithm can be used in the controlling systems of the automotive. Hovewer, these systems do not accept any failure, because of that algorithm used in the systems must be error-free algorithm. Because, in case of any error, the risk of the fatal accident increases. In this study, risky and riskless automotive electronic systems were examined. And it is targeted to show how these systems work and what their technological infrastructures are.
