ABSTRACT

Driver assistance systems required by Daimler and Volvo automobiles for their future generation cars are to be designed in order to detect dangerous situations involving pedestrians ahead of time, allowing the possibility to warn the driver or to automatically control the vehicle. In order to meet those challenges, we propose a Generic Framework. The framework gives the structure and outline for the active researchers aimed at improving traffic safety. The necessary components for monitoring and reaching a safe state and their embedment in a basic, functional architecture of a driver assistance system are shown in the framework. This paper also provides the various phases for pedestrian tracking and driver assistance systems as a collective framework which can be utilized by people who apply different approaches in their work. The ideas from different work are also collected and this study highlights the optimal approaches provided in those proposals.

Keywords: Driver assistance systems, Segmentation, Detection, Pedestrian classification, Pedestrian tracking.
