Experimental Advanced Driver Assistance Systems Plus (ADAS+) 2.01

You may need to reload Lua (press Ctrl + L) if the mod is not working for you.

Advanced Driver Assistance Systems Plus (ADAS+)

This mod adds advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) commonly found in modern vehicles. It allows these systems to be installed on any vehicle in BeamNG (vanilla or modded). It is an extended version of ADAS mod from Angelo234, so it is recommended to have only one of the modes installed and allowed simultaneously.

ADAS+ 2.00 expands the suite with obstacle-collision automatic braking, a 12-phase LiDAR pack with point-cloud export/streaming, lane-centering steering support, and full autopilot on top of the existing assists.

Current Features (refer to "Usage Instructions" section below for usage)

Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB)


Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) applies full braking power when it detects a possible collision with another vehicle. It is designed to mitigate or even prevent a collision from occurring. The system will first alert the driver of a possible collision with an audible tone before applying the brakes. The system uses the road markings (AI paths) to determine if an oncoming vehicle is in our vehicle's path.

Disclaimer: System will only work effectively if lane markings are present (technically if there are AI paths mapped).


Rear Automatic Emergency Braking (Rear AEB)
Rear Automatic Emergency Braking (Rear AEB) is just like AEB except it applies the brakes when it detects a collision with both static objects and vehicles in reverse gear up to 25 km/h (15 mph). The system works without the need for lane markings.

Audible Rear Parking Sensors
This system provides an audible alert as the vehicle approaches an obstacle in reverse. The faster the warning tone is played, the closer the vehicle is to the obstacle.

Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)


Adaptive Cruise Control works like a traditional cruise control system to maintain a set speed. The difference is when it detects a vehicle ahead, it will slow down to adapt to its speed and maintain a safe following distance apart. The minimum target speed you may select is 30 km/h (20 mph) but the system can stop and accelerate the vehicle if the vehicle in front comes to a stop and accelerates afterward.

Back-up Camera


The camera is attached to the rear of the vehicle with a wide FOV to allow the driver to see what is directly behind them. Depending on the vehicle, the camera can display guiding lines to show where the vehicle is relative to other objects (e.g. curb, wall) and where it will go in a straight line. And trajectory lines can also be displayed to show where the car will head with the current steering input.

Hill Start Assist
When the driver takes their foot off the brakes to switch over to the gas pedal, the vehicle may roll back depending on the incline. This system eliminates this issue by holding the brakes until the driver hits the gas pedal. If the user is off the brake pedal for 3 seconds, the system will release the brakes.

Automatic Headlight Dimming
This system automatically dims the high beams if it detects a vehicle up ahead. When no vehicles are in sight, the high beams will turn back on.

Obstacle Collision Automatic Emergency Braking
This module fuses the forward radar array with the virtual LiDAR sweep to recognize static hazards in your lane. It escalates audible warnings, flashes the hazard lights, drops the throttle and then applies maximum braking when a collision is imminent, holding the brakes once stopped until you intervene.

12-phase LFO LiDAR


Equip the dedicated sensor pack to add a 12-phase virtual LiDAR that continuously scans the surroundings, improving object recognition for the Obstacle Collision system and Lane Centering Assist. The scan also powers point-cloud capture for external tools.


UI APP for debug view available.

Airborne Survey LiDAR
Downward-facing LiDAR pod tailored for aerial mapping from helicopters and other aircraft. It sweeps detailed multi-phase passes over terrain and rooftops while sharing the same drift-stabilized coordinates as the road-going sensor so both point clouds align.

Virtual LiDAR – PCD export & streaming


Capture the environment as a point cloud that you can either write to disk or stream over TCP. The export throttles itself to roughly four frames per second to reduce drive wear, and each point includes an intensity tag for easier filtering in external applications.

Lane Centering Assist
Lane Centering Assist tracks the lane geometry and AI navigation data to blend gentle steering corrections. It arms when toggled on, automatically engages once lane data and speed conditions are met, and warns you when you drift toward the edge or override it with steering.


UI APP for debug view available.

Autopilot
Autopilot hands full control to the BeamNG AI once you set a navigation destination. It maintains the route, disengages if prerequisites are no longer met, and automatically yields to Lane Centering Assist when that system is active.

Usage Instructions

1a. Use the included vehicle configs to use the ADAS systems
This mod adds vehicle configs with these ADAS installed on modern vehicles. The config names added are postfixed with "w/ ADAS". Example:



1b. Or install the systems manually

1. Open the Vehicle Customization UI and click on the "License Plate Design" slot.
   
   
2. Find the "Driver Assistance System Plus" part and click on that.
   
   
3. All systems are added by default. You can choose the systems to add/remove by clicking on the appropriate slots.
   

2. Using the systems
After installing the systems, the core assists will be active (except Adaptive Cruise Control, Autopilot, Lane Centering Assist, Obstacle Collision AEB toggles, LiDAR output, and the back-up camera which require input). To toggle the systems on/off and use them with the default keybindings, refer to the "Controls" section.

Forward AEB
No action is required until the system completely stops the vehicle, in which case the driver must press either the gas or brake pedal.

Rear AEB
No action is required until the system completely stops the vehicle, in which case the driver must press the brake pedal.

Audible Rear Parking Sensors
No action is required here.

Adaptive Cruise Control
Two ways to engage:

1. Increment/decrement ACC target speed Set following distance Enable ACC system
   
   
2. Bring vehicle up to desired speed Set ACC target speed Set following distance Enable ACC system

Deactivate by toggling the system off or pressing the brake pedal.

Back-up Camera
Put vehicle in neutral or reverse, then press the '8' key (or '9' for bus). When leaving reverse/neutral, camera switches back to last camera used.

Hill Start Assist
Stop on incline (≥4°), car in 1st gear or Drive (Reverse if facing uphill), press brakes until message appears "Hill Start Assist Activated". Brakes release after throttle or 3s.

Automatic Headlight Dimming
It's enabled by default when installed. Turn on lights, switch to high beams – system auto-changes between low/high when traffic is detected.

Obstacle Collision Automatic Emergency Braking
Toggle the assist via its Vehicle control binding. Once the sensor suite is installed it continuously watches for static obstacles, sounding escalating warnings, flashing hazards, cutting throttle and braking when impact is imminent.

12-phase LFO LiDAR & Virtual LiDAR output
Please follow the information on our Github pages README and also check the virtual-lidar-pcd.md documentation.

Lane Centering Assist
Requires the Lane Centering Assist hardware slot equipped. Toggle the assist via its Vehicle control binding—once armed it engages automatically when lane data and speed criteria are met, and it disengages if you steer past the lane edge, leave the road, signal a maneuver or remove the hardware. Be aware that this assistance is designed for use on highways and expressways. Always keep the vehicle under control when passing through the intersection.

Autopilot
Requires the Autopilot hardware slot equipped and an active navigation target. Activate it via the Vehicle control binding and the AI will take control, automatically disengaging if the route is cleared, unresolved, hardware is removed or Lane Centering Assist is active.

Controls

• '8' key ('9' key for bus) → show back-up camera
• Vehicle control bindings → toggle Forward/Rear/Obstacle AEB, set Adaptive Cruise Control, arm Lane Centering Assist, start Autopilot, and enable LiDAR export/streaming

Note: The AEB systems only work as well as your brakes and tires, plus this mod is still in beta so some systems may not work 100% of the time and false positives may occur. If things behave oddly after updating BeamNG, press Ctrl + L to reload Lua.

FAQ

A: It's here! Install the Lane Centering hardware and toggle it via the Vehicle controls.

Q: Can I modify or reuse this mod’s code?
A: Yes, just credit us. GitHub repo
