Sensor amalgamation as the strategic approach for safety and assistance systems

Above all, the functionality of presentday safety systems is based upon already existing sensor information. Consider for instance the electronic vehicle-dynamics control systems or the electronically controlled tuneable damping. Using the data from a number of different sensors (radar, lidar, infrared, and cameras) Delphi Corporation is implementing a variety of helpful assistance systems such as lane departure warning, pedestrian identification, or the adaptive cruise control. In future, sensor amalgamation will lead to even better advantage being taken of the existing potential.
