Driver Assistance System Module (DASM)

The DASM uses an integral radar and camera, by means of data fusion, to detect vehicles in the forward path of the vehicle that are moving, stopped or stationary and lane markings on the road. The DASM considers an object moving if it has a velocity greater than zero while being tracked. The DASM considers an object stopped it has a velocity greater than zero and then comes to a stop. The DASM will consider an object stationary if it has zero velocity the entire time that it is being tracked.

The DASM controls the activation and deactivation of the visual and audible warning in the IPC. The DASM commanded audible warning used by the FCW system is generated by the radio or amplifier system. All warning signals, visual or auditory, are transmitted to the BCM over the CAN-C bus to be gated to CAN-Interior High Speed (CAN-IHS) and forwarded to the IPC, Radio or AMP.
