Driver assistance systems for both passenger cars and commercial vehicles have made much progress throughout the past few years. Applications like distance alert, lane guiding assist, collision mitigation, or drowsy driver warning assist will help to reduce the consequences of crashes for all collision partners. Before this background advanced driver assistance systems for passenger vehicles have been receiving much attention throughout the past few years. Less noticeable, advanced driver assistance systems for trucks have also made much progress. For the general acceptance of advanced driver assistance systems reliable sensors with a high degree of availability - even under adverse environmental conditions - are indispensable. Infrared laserscanner technology stands in the first line amongst the sensor technologies of the choice. This article focusses on the applications of laserscanners, developed by IBEO Automobile Sensor GmbH. Their capability of a high range finding distance of up to 200 m in combination with a fine horizontal resolution make it a favourable technology for applications in classic ACC systems in combination with applications like Stop & Go including automatic restart. Lane Departure Warning, Pedestrian Protection, Pre-Crash, and Automatic Emergency Brake. For commercial vehicles the applications Slow Moving Assist, Turning Assist and Cut-in Assist are of predominant relevance. All mentioned applications can be operated by one single laserscanner system. This article focusses on the potential of automotive laserscanners supporting advanced driver assistance systems on passenger cars and trucks.
