RT book part T1 Cost-effective ADAS for inter-vehicle distance estimation using computer vision and deep learning A1 Guerrero Contreras, Gabriel José A1 Balderas Díaz, Sara A1 Díaz Gómez, Alejandro A1 Medina Bulo, María Inmaculada A1 Dominguez Jiménez, Juan José A2 Ingeniería Informática K1 Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) K1 computer vision K1 deep learning K1 distance estimation K1 real-time detection AB Road safety is a critical global issue, with traffic accidents causing substantial human and economic losses annually. Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) have emerged as an effective solution, leveraging technologies such as computer vision and artificial intelligence to enhance driving safety. However, the high costs and complexity of these systems limit their widespread adoption. This paper presents a cost-effective ADAS prototype utilizing vision-based and deep learning technologies to monitor and maintain safe following distances between vehicles. The performance of the system is evaluated using standard datasets and real-world scenarios, demonstrating adaptability across diverse driving conditions. Additionally, the feasibility of deploying the system on low-resource devices, such as Raspberry Pi and Radxa Zero, is analyzed, highlighting its potential for practical applications.
