Subject(s): Abstract: Projektet ska visa vägen hur man kan komma från dagens komfortfunktioner som ACC samt tillhörande avancerade sensorer till flexibla, enkelt mellan olika fordonstyper och arkitekturer transfererbara smarta sensor koncept som dessutom är kostnadseffektiva. CM system kommer enligt diskuterade lagförslag att finnas obligatorisk för tunga fordon och därmed kommer att bidra till att förhindra eller åtminstonde minska effekterna av typiska kollisionsolyckor där tunga fordon är inblandade.Abstract: Collision Mitigation (CM) systems will be standard or even mandatory in the future, especially with regard to commercial vehicles. To be able to realize this we need to find smart, flexible and even cost efficient solutions which fit all kinds of commercial vehicles, without requiring too much adaptation within the vehicle or its architecture. The project shall pave the way from today´s comfort functions like ACC and corresponding advanced sensors towards flexible, simply transferable between different vehicle types and architectures smart sensor concepts which even are cost efficient. CM systems will be mandatory for heavy vehicles, according to proposals in EU parliament and thus will contribute to avoid or at least mitigate the effects of typical collision accidents with involvement of heavy vehicles.
