TL;DR

Advanced Driver Assistance Systems have evolved over the past decade, integrating automotive electronics, V2V/V2I communication, RADAR, LIDAR, computer vision, and machine learning, yet most deployments succeed only in well‑regulated traffic environments. This review identifies research gaps and surveys current ADAS functionalities and autonomy levels. It details vision and computational intelligence for ADAS, covering eye‑gaze and head‑pose estimation and supervised, unsupervised, reinforcement, and deep learning algorithms. The work enables the development of a real‑time recommendation system for assisted or autonomous vehicles operating in chaotic traffic.

Abstract

Over the last decade, the Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) concept has evolved significantly. ADAS involves several technologies such as automotive electronics, vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) communication, RADAR, LIDAR, computer vision, and machine learning. Of these, <i>computer vision</i> and <i>machine learning</i> based solutions have mainly been effective that have allowed real-time vehicle control, driver aided systems, etc. However, most of the existing works deal with the deployment of ADAS and autonomous driving functionality in countries with well-disciplined lane traffic. Nevertheless, these solutions and frameworks do not work in countries and cities with less-disciplined/chaotic traffic. This paper identifies the research gaps, reviews the state-of-the-art looking at the different functionalities of ADAS and its levels of autonomy. Importantly, it provides a detailed description of vision intelligence and computational intelligence for ADAS. The eye-gaze and head pose estimation in vision intelligence is detailed. Notably, the learning algorithms such as supervised, unsupervised, reinforcement learning and deep learning solutions for ADAS are considered and discussed. Significantly, this would enable developing a real-time recommendation system for system-assisted/autonomous vehicular environments with less-disciplined road traffic.
