One of the acronyms of the moment within the commercial fleet industry is ADAS: advanced driver assistance systems. If the term is unfamiliar, it’s likely that the components of it are not. Chances are your fleet already is employing some of those.
ADAS solutions tend to be divided into four general areas: braking, steering, warning and monitoring. Braking-related ADAS solutions include technologies such as automatic emergency braking and adaptive cruise control; steering-related functions include lane keep assist, lane centering and adaptive steering control; warning-oriented technologies include lane departure warning, forward collision warning and blind spot warning; and monitoring-centric solutions cover everything from driver-facing and road-facing cameras and camera-based mirror systems.
