Abstract

An electric vehicle MuSHELLka developed for the 2013 Shell Eco-marathon, has been equipped with active safety systems. Blind Spot Information System, Adaptive Cruise Control and Automatic Crash System. All those systems will ensure more safety to the driver and his competitors. Designs of submitted systems are based on real solutions,used nowadays in cars. Those systems adaptation to our vehicle and race needs was complicated. With the aid of special software PreScan from TASS, which is a computer simulator for advanced driver assistance systems, there were possibilities to design and test safety systems in the specified environment. It is an urban racetrack in Rotterdam, Holland. Also there were capabilities to specify sensors and their properties. The entirety of them together with Matlab/Simulink software have given anopportunity to build and verify selected safety systems.
