Delphi integrates radar, vision and sensor fusion in single
module
Release Date: October 20, 2011
PARIS - The benefits of advanced driver assistance systems
are fast becoming the focus of industry experts, globally.
European Ministers have endorsed a target of reducing road
fatalities to 50 percent of today's levels by 2020.
Euro NCAP is recognizing vehicle manufacturers for
technologies that demonstrate a proven safety benefit. And,
insurance companies are offering reduced rates for vehicles
with advanced driver assistance systems.
Recognizing its potential, a jury of 80 international
journalists from 20 countries recently acknowledged Delphi
Automotive's
RACam with a Special Jury award at the 2011
International Awards for Automotive Innovation at the Equip
Auto show in Paris.
Delphi's newest sensor fusion product integrates radar
sensing, vision sensing and substantial computing power in
a single, compact module to enable a suite of advanced
driver assistance systems including full speed range
adaptive cruise control, adaptive headlamp control, traffic
sign recognition, forward collision warning, pedestrian
detection and autonomous braking, which automatically slows
the vehicle to a stop in situations where the driver does
not react to a hazard ahead.
The Delphi RACam is significantly less expensive, lighter
and smaller than non-integrated systems. The single-box
system allows the vehicle to appropriately respond to a
hazard - such as automatically braking for another vehicle
or a pedestrian - when the driver doesn't, and its
innovative design has resulted in a module small enough to
be positioned on the windscreen side of the rear view
mirror. Though separate radar systems are traditionally
mounted behind the vehicle's front grille, RACam's
size makes it possible to locate the radar away from crush
zone, helping to reduce repair costs following a frontal
impact.
"Delphi is committed to providing innovative
technologies that will help make advanced driver assistance
systems affordable for a wider range of vehicle
segments," said Diedrich von Behr, managing director
of Delphi Europe's Electronic Controls product business
unit. "With RACam, vehicle manufacturers can eliminate
the expense of multiple safety sensors and still offer the
benefits of consumer-desired driver assistance
systems."
Delphi's
RACam was highlighted at the Frankfurt motor show in
mid-September and is expected to be on the roads in 2014.
