Unprecedented Vehicle and Traffic Safety Integrating
نویسنده
چکیده
Networking of active and passive safety systems is the fundamental basis for comprehensive vehicle safety. Situation-relevant information relating to driver reactions, vehicle behavior and nearfield traffic environment are fed into a crash probability calculator, which continually assesses the current crash risk and intervenes when necessary with appropriate measures to avoid a crash and reduce potential injuries. Know-how in the fields of active and passive safety, beam and image vehicle surrounding sensors, and innovative driver assistance systems provide effective protection not only for vehicle occupants but also for other, vulnerable road users. This functionality up till now only relates to the egovehicle itself. The next logical step is to integrate V2X communication. The integration of this embedded, in-vehicle wireless communication system allows Car-to-Car (C2C) and Car-toInfrastructure (C2I) functionality for, e.g. time critical hazard warning. This comprehensive focus on creating cars that avoid crashes, prevent injuries and provide immediate assistance information should a crash prove unavoidable is an integral element of cascaded ContiGuard protection measures.
