 Drivers will increasingly feel their vehicle is looking over their shoulder if the vision of the PReVENT MAPS&ADAS research project is succeeds, as described by Christian Ress, research engineer, telematics and navigation for Ford presenting at Telematics Update Navigation 2006 event in London last week. Using map data as virtual sensor has resulted in development of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems for adaptive front lighting, lane keeping assistance, curve speed warning and fuel economy.
