Electronic controlled braking systems (ECBS) will be the brakes of the future - there is no doubt about it. But there are some differences of opinion as to when exactly this will happen. Some fleet managers, including those in waste collection and recycling, believe that within three years, regulators will introduce new brake performance standards that will require ECBS and air disc technology. On the other hand, Radlinski & Associates Inc.'s Dick Radlinski Brake System Consultant, East Liberty, Ohio, believes that the use of ECBS will not be extended for at least 10 years. He also thinks that the government would have difficulty writing new standards for systems until its safety aspects are proven. Other industry watchers remember the fiasco in the early 1970s when US regulators attempted to legislate anti-lock braking (ABS) systems before they were perfected.
FUTURE SCOPE
Reliable intelligent driver assistance systems and safety warning systems are still far behind. However, as computing power, detection capacity and wireless connectivity for vehicles increases, the concept of assisted driving and proactive safety warning is accelerating towards reality. As technology improves, a vehicle will become a computer with tires. Driving on the roads will be like browsing the Web: there will be traffic congestion, but there are no injuries or fatalities. Advanced driver assistant systems and new detection technologies can be very beneficial along with a lot of work on automated vehicles.
These findings suggest that research into autonomous vehicles within the field of STIs is a short-term reality and a promising area of research, and these results constitute the starting point for future developments. Some suggestions for extension and / or future related works are identified and summarized below:
• New sensory and sensory fusion systems should be explored to connect additional information to the control system.
• This work can be extended to include different maneuvers to make the driving system capable of handling all driving environments.
• Future issues may also include an algorithm for the autonomous training of cooperative driving.
Thus, with the current and growing awareness of the importance of safety, reliable self-contained vehicle systems can be deployed within a few years.
