The large number of rear end collisions due to driver inattention has been identified as a major automotive safety issue. Even a short advance warning can significantly reduce the number and severity of the collisions. This paper describes a vision based forward collision warning (FCW) system for highway safety. The algorithm described in this paper computes time to contact (TTC) and possible collision course directly from the size and position of the vehicles in the image - which are the natural measurements for a vision based system - without having to compute a 3D representation of the scene. The use of a single low cost image sensor results in an affordable system which is simple to install. The system has been implemented on real-time hardware and has been test driven on highways. Collision avoidance tests have also been performed on test tracks.
