Comparative Environmental Impact of ADAS vs. Conventional Automotive Systems

EasyChair Preprint 14883

Abstract

This research explores the comparative environmental impact of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) and conventional automotive systems, focusing on their contributions to sustainability, energy consumption, and emissions reduction. ADAS, equipped with technologies such as adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assistance, and automated braking, is designed to enhance vehicle safety and efficiency. However, the environmental implications of ADAS, including increased energy consumption due to sensors, data processing, and onboard computing, are often overlooked. This study contrasts the environmental footprint of ADAS-enabled vehicles with that of traditional automotive systems, considering factors such as fuel efficiency, resource use, greenhouse gas emissions, and lifecycle impacts. It also examines the potential long-term benefits of ADAS in reducing accidents, improving traffic flow, and lowering overall emissions through smarter driving. Through lifecycle analysis and case studies, the research provides a comprehensive assessment of ADAS technologies’ environmental trade-offs, highlighting their role in shaping the future of eco-friendly transportation and their potential for contributing to global sustainability goals.
