The collision of vehicles with persons, obstacles or other vehicles is today a part of the daily vehicle use. Sensors can be used to detect obstacles and interact with the vehicle to avoid an accident automaticly or to just warn the driver. This can lead to a increase of safety and a reduction of subsequent cost. The collision avoidance represent the first step for automated driving for all vehicles.

Benefits

• Protects humans
• Improves accident prevention
• Reduces downtime and costs
• Improves the attention of the tram driver
• Technology robust against bad weather conditions

Stationary use of automotive technology for access control, object and obstacle detection. Examples for this use can be a obstacle recognition in the roll area of a excavator or planes. The well proven radar and camera technology will be use for a stationary mounting with use case tailored algorithms the increase the safety level during operations to detect each type of objects that could hinder the operation or that enter a certain area with position, direction an speed. 

Benefits

• Proven automotive technology
• Weather independent sensor technology
• Detects and clusters objects and people
• Increase the safety during rail operation
• flexible application use case and area

Intelligent Glass Control uses special films, which are inserted into the glass that change their transparency through electric control signals. This allows all vehicle windows to be darkened with the touch of a button. This works in a very selective and incremental way. You can trigger individual windows and you can also determine the degree of darkening, so to say you can dim your windows. This not only offers increased comfort for driver, but also makes driving safer by avoiding strong glare of sunlight on, for example, ski slopes or after leaving tunnels or mines.

Benefits

• Less weight compare to mechanical solutions
• Flexibility in the configuration of use cases
• Automatic in-cabin brightness adaption
• Display suitable information

Our Head-Up Displays (HUD) project the essential information directly into the drivers field of vision without restricting it. The driver concentration remains on the road ahead or on a other important target like the load on the crane. This not only contributes to higher safety because he does not have to change his focus, it also reduces eye fatigue by decreasing the demand of switching between the road, load and instruments.

Benefits

• Relevant information is moved to the drivers field of vision

• Driver fatigue is reduced by removing the need to switch focus

• Safety is increased because the drivers eyes remain on the road or object of interest

The system monitors the drivers head to evaluate the attention, gaze direction, facial expressions, heart rate, drowsiness estimation and fatigue, this information is used to increase safety and productivity level. In combination with an stereo- or TOF-system, gesture recognition is also available.

Benefits

• Reliable drivers condition tracking
• Reduction of driver distraction and stress
• Increased safety through potential initiation of safeguarding strategies

Monitors the tires‘ pressure and alerts the driver, when the pressure is below a defined threshold. This prevents subsequent errors or long downtimes due to an unexpected, tire error and makes it possible to put the vehicle in a safe condition.

The system consists out of four wheel unit sensors and one ECU to receive and process the data.

Benefits

• Reduces accidents caused by underinflated tires
• Makes it possible to detect tire errors early
• Avoids increased fuel consumption due to low tire pressure
