Bharat NCAP 2.0 to Test ADAS: The Automotive Research Association of India (ARAI) has launched Bharat NCAP 2.0, a revised crash test program that will assess Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) on Indian cars. The move will harmonize India’s safety norms with international standards while adapting ADAS technologies to Indian road conditions.
How Bharat NCAP 2.0 Improves Vehicle Safety
Bharat NCAP 2.0 will emphasize real-world testing and virtual simulations to evaluate ADAS performance correctly. The testing will include:
- Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB): Automatically detects obstacles and brakes.
- Lane-Keeping Assist: Avoids unintended lane drift.
- Adaptive Cruise Control: Regulates vehicle speed according to traffic flow.
- Blind Spot Monitoring: Warns drivers of vehicles in blind spots.
ADAS Customization for Indian Roads
India’s specific road conditions pose challenges to standard ADAS systems. ARAI has been gathering data to make these features function optimally on congested roads, highways, and uncertain traffic situations. Local tuning will enhance:
- Pedestrian detection accuracy
- Performance in stop-and-go traffic
- Response to two-wheelers and slow-moving traffic
Ramifications for Indian Automakers and Consumers
Bharat NCAP 2.0 will encourage automakers to incorporate ADAS features into more vehicles, contributing to Indian roads becoming safer. Consumers will be able to enjoy transparent safety ratings showcasing ADAS performance in real-world scenarios.
With Bharat NCAP 2.0, India is advancing towards world-class vehicle safety standards, ensuring smart technology saves lives on the road.
