Camera with AI for driver assistance and automated driving

Cars with driver assistance, automatic emergency braking systems, and automated driving capability must be able to see all objects in their surroundings. On top of that, they must be able to detect in a flash if an object is relevant for their driving strategy. And just as quickly, they have to determine what their reaction to relevant objects should be. Should they break, swerve, or continue on their path? Unlike the human eye, the new MPC3 mono video camera has been optimized to handle such decisions.

Bosch

Wrong Driver Warning System

If a vehicle approaches a highway entrance ramp or exit ramp, the system automatically sends the anonymised data of the current movement to the cloud. The function compares the vehicle’s actual movements with the permitted direction of travel. Information about this is stored in a web-based database. If the two sets of information clash, the wrong-way driver automatically receives a warning. At the same time, the cloud immediately transmits a warning to all networked road users within the danger area.

Quiet Vehicle Sounder (AVAS)

Known as an acoustic vehicle alerting system across the automotive market, the Quiet Vehicle Sounder warns vulnerable road users of an approaching electric/hybrid vehicle. The Quiet Vehicle Sounder creates a “sssshhhhh” sound which is gentle on the ear and dissipates quickly once the vehicle has passed, meaning it can only be heard in the danger zone (0-20mph). People living and working in the surrounding areas will not be impacted by unnecessary sound, reducing the impact on people’s health.

IEE

Hands Off Detection (HOD) sensor

The Hands Off Detection (HOD) is a capacitive sensing system built into a vehicle’s steering wheel that helps to ensure that drivers remain in control of their vehicles at all times. By having their hand on the steering wheel, the driver changes the electrical field between the electrode in the sensor mat and the car’s electrical ground. HOD measures this change and, when it no longer registers it, notifies the ADAS that the driver is no longer in control of the vehicle.

Mann-Hummel

Brake Dust Particle Filter

Fine dust is a danger to human health. However, the fine dust is not only caused by exhaust emissions: each braking action releases particles. Located close to the brake and therefore the source, the filter retains the particles which are the result of mechanical abrasion on the brake. The filter consists of a robust housing which is positioned directly in continuation to the brake caliper and captures particles created in the braking process. The new development can be fitted to any existing installation space and can be adapted to different brake sizes and concepts.

FreciousSmart - Smart Cabin Air Filter System

Around the world, people are suffering under the increasing air pollution. Against this background the solutions in the field of filtration have to be just as varied as the types of contamination. The FreciousSmart cabin air filter system currently being developed is an intelligent concept which sets new standards. Using an intelligent fresh air management, the system is able to save a considerable amount of energy and this in turn has a positive effect on the driving range of electric vehicles. The demand-based control of the fresh-air proportion depends on the level of CO2 concentration inside the vehicle.

Mann-Hummel

Integrated Fine Dust Particle Filter

Installed on the roof or under the floor of a vehicle, for example, the filter strains particulates out of the air. The particularly low flow resistance of the filter elements used to permit the maximum possible volume flow and a high separation performance with very low energy demands. Fans also suck in air from the environment, supporting the ambient airflow towards the element. This means that vehicles can filter particulates out of the surrounding air even when the vehicle stands still. Sensors and a connection to a cloud allow data about air, weather, and filtration performance to be collected and analysed.

Incremental machine learning

Incremental machine learning will be demonstrated with Magic Tracks and a screen. By using a toy car that runs several laps on the same course, the model will demonstrate how the software can self-learn as new data comes in, which is the ability to do streaming analytics, in real-time without delay. By changing something on the course, it will also show change detection, and how the software is able to either learn the new conditions (in this case the new course), which is incremental learning. The software can also choose to not adapt to new conditions, and hence give a warning if something changes, which is the predictive maintenance/change detection case.
