Role of VLSI-Embedded Systems in Vehicle Safety
VLSI (Very-Large-Scale Integration) technology is crucial in automotive safety systems. Here’s how it helps:
- Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS): VLSI chips process data from cameras, LiDAR, radar, and ultrasonic sensors to enable features like adaptive cruise control, lane departure warnings, and automatic emergency braking. These systems help prevent accidents by assisting drivers in real-time.
- Crash Avoidance Systems: By analyzing data from various sensors, VLSI systems can detect potential hazards and engage safety measures like automatic braking or steering adjustments to avoid collisions.
- Redundant Systems and Fail-Safe Designs: VLSI technology ensures that even if one system fails, backup systems can take over, maintaining vehicle safety.
- Cybersecurity: Protecting automotive systems from cyber attacks is essential. VLSI systems use secure communication protocols, encryption, and intrusion detection to safeguard critical vehicle functions.
