“KPIT research and development team observed that more that 50% of total accidents occur at highway. Highway road network which comprises of only 5% of total road network, need extra layer of safety measures to reduce accident rates. In this regard, KPIT wants to overcome this problem by introducing Advanced Driving Assistance System (ADAS) to modern automobiles.”

“To overcome the issue raised by KPIT over the highway safety aspect, we propose an ADAS based system titled “V-ASSIST” comprising of four features – Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), Lane Assistance System (LAS), Emergency Braking System (EBS) and Blind Spot Detection (BSD). The objective is to solve the major cause of accidents on highway which are generally human errors, lack of quick response in the time of emergency.”
