Assisted driving systems become popular

<


“If we give you a button to convert to an automatic driving mode, will you switch? According to the survey, everyone thinks this is a very good idea. I hope this function is available in the car.” Bosch Chassis Control System Vehicle System Engineering Dr. Michael Fausten, Vice President of the Department and the Autopilot Project, said in a recent speech at the TEDA Forum. But Renault-Nissan Alliance CEO Carlos Ghosn said rationally: "Do not expect to get to your destination by sleeping in the driver's seat. Automatic driving is still far from commercialization." Advanced assisted driving technology is more likely to be popular in the next 5 to 10 years, such as automatic parking, change lane assistance, automatic braking and so on.

According to the survey, 50% of people in Europe and the United States think that the assisted driving system is a very logical next step technology. John Ab-Smeier, director of the Delphi Silicon Valley Laboratory and director of global business operations for autonomous driving systems, believes that self-driving cars are actually extensions of vehicle assisted driving technology. Therefore, assisted driving systems and automated driving technologies are more rational R&D trends for future car manufacturers and parts suppliers.

An important step towards a "zero accident" vision

“The development of the assisted driving system is an important step in eliminating traffic accidents and achieving the vision of 'zero accidents',” said Gerhard Steiger, president of Bosch Chassis Systems Controls. For this reason, the European Union's New Car Collision Test (NCAP) has included the predictive emergency braking system and the lane keeping assist system in the new scoring standards, thereby improving the rate of the two systems. And this trend has also affected the key component of the driver assistance system - sensor production. Gerhard Steiger said: "Bosch expects to sell more than 2 million radar and video sensors in 2014, more than twice as much as last year."

According to Bosch's study of the major new vehicle types registered for the new registration in Germany in 2013, nearly a quarter (6.8 million) of the 2.95 million newly registered vehicles are equipped with a driver fatigue detection system that can Tired driving and may cause a warning before the accident. This makes driver fatigue detection the most equipped driver assistance function in a new car. In the case of long driving, the driver can be reminded to rest by an audible warning or a coffee cup icon displayed in the dashboard. John Absmeier said: "There are already a lot of car manufacturers that have started to purchase and use driver condition monitoring systems."

Frankpalhnung, president of R&D R&D Department of North America, said that in order to establish a “zero impact society”, Honda will strive to develop innovative technologies in active safety, intelligent and automated vehicle driving technology. Volvo has always been a leader in safety, and "zero accidents" are their ultimate pursuit.

Car companies have created "invisible drivers"

The entire vehicle company has soberly realized that full automatic driving is still far from being realized; but the assisted driving system that realizes the vision of “zero accidents” is very close to us. Assisting the driving system, the importance of this "hidden driver" is constantly improving.

At present, the world's major auto manufacturers are spared no effort to develop assistive driving systems in order to avoid traffic accidents and improve the convenience of driving. At the ITSWorldCongress2014 conference, Honda, Toyota, GM, Nissan and other car companies demonstrated their latest driver assistance systems and autonomous driving technology. It is reported that Volvo, Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Jaguar Land Rover, Audi, Tesla and other car companies have also released models with automatic driving technology, semi-autonomous driving technology.

Honda launched the road-level crisis warning system and automatic circuit change system at the ITSWorldCongress2014 conference. Toyota also showed a Lexus. The car's Toyota automatic high-speed function driving assistant incorporates three systems: dynamic laser radar control and lane tracking system. And forecast and interactive HMI. General Motors has announced that in 2016, the Cadillac CTS will deploy "vehicle-to-vehicle" (V2V) communications technology, which will be available in 2017. Another Cadillac model will also carry the “Super Cruise” function, which is the first time that GM has applied autopilot-related technology to production vehicles.

In addition, in terms of active safety, Volvo has launched the CitySafety system; BMW recently conducted a project called “Urban Space, User-Oriented Network Management and Support System”; in April this year, Land Rover released “Transparency Engine cover technology; Mercedes-Benz is also equipped with more than 10 sensors, radars and cameras on the body of its new S-Class sedan. It is known as the "produced car that is closest to autopilot," except for Mercedes-Benz. In addition to the PRE-SAFE, the S-Class sedan is equipped with the latest driver attention assistance system.

Parts suppliers are more advanced in R&D

Parts suppliers such as Bosch, Visteon, Continental, and Delphi have already made preparations for such areas as active safety and driver assistance. Bosch, Delphi and other parts companies have developed devices that can automatically switch between automatic and manual driving modes. In other words, when you want to experience driving pleasure yourself, you can drive yourself; when you want to handle personal affairs in the car, the car can drive automatically. In this way, the future of automatic driving will not affect people's driving pleasure, but also save time for people. What's more important is the automobile society that can bring “zero accidents”.

Bosch and other component suppliers are leading the R&D in assisted driving technology. It is reported that Bosch has a wide range of products, including cameras, radar, and the latest active safety technologies such as adaptive cruise control with start-stop function, lane keeping system, and automatic parking/remote parking. In July 2014, Denso publicly demonstrated the road test of Advanced Driver Assistance (ADAS) technology. In August, Continental Group released an augmented reality head-up display called AR-HUD. The augmented reality head-up display precisely combines the image information with actual traffic conditions through an internally designed optical system, thereby expanding or enhancing the driver's perception of the actual driving environment. Delphi launched this year a device that can determine in real time whether the driver meets the automatic driving mode to the manual driving mode.

In fact, the active safety systems, assisted driving systems, and autonomous driving technologies that are being introduced by car manufacturers and parts suppliers are based on the application of sensors, cameras, radar, and V2V technology. Their role is to collect information and then collect the collected information. The information is sent to the dashboard, central control panel and HUD, which is finally accepted and processed by the driver. In the future, with the wider use of more advanced assisted driving systems and the popularity of car networking, “zero accident rates” and “autopilot” will no longer be utopias.


ThermicTransfer has 14 years of experience in R&D and production of engine radiators. The long-term cooperation engine brands are Yanmar/Cummins/Deutz/Perkins/Kubota/Isuzu/Mitsubishi/MTU. Our experience is based on the engine power provided by the purchaser. Performance curve, single heat dissipation or multiple combined heat dissipation requirements, we simulate the calculation of heat dissipation requirements, and design a three-dimensional cooler solution according to the engine size combined with the installation environment, provide customers with three-dimensional model confirmation, and provide performance parameter reports through simulation calculation. Finally, according to the customer's suggestion to adjust and optimize, form an effective program. We will then provide samples for performance testing, mass production through long-term performance, stress testing, resistance testing, etc.
