SAFETY SYSTEMS

Operating future construction sites require an exceptional level of safety - this is true for conventional off-highway technology – and especially for automated driving systems. This is why ZF offers tailor-made safety solutions for construction machinery.

ZF Enables Vehicles to See, Think and Act

Existing driveline components are extended by environmental sensors such as radar systems. This technology supports drivers through rear-view monitoring, warning them of obstructions or pedestrians in the danger zone and enables the vehicle to “see”.

The high performance computing platform ZF ProAI allows vehicles to “think” and understand their environment by processing and interpreting sensor data through deep learning technology. ZF can use the processed data to develop sub-systems for highly automated functions in off-highway applications.

Advanced driveline systems then convert the insights gained into actions (“act”).

As a full system supplier ZF demonstrates how sensor systems, electronic control units and most importantly perfectly matched driveline technology can be linked to create intelligent mechanical systems.

Radar Technology // Rear Observation Assist

Short-range radar sensor for advanced environment detection

The short range radar sensors of the "Gen5" have been developed to support functions such as turn assist, rear observation, lane change assist and front cross traffic alert.

Environment perception works within a range of up to 90 meters (optionally up to 160 meters) in a grid of 20 centimeters and an opening angle of +/- 75 degrees.

Thanks to its 77 GHz RF CMOS technology, it is suitable for automated driving functions.

The short-range radar sensors of the "Gen5" enable advanced environment detection.

Advantages:

  • Suitable for both front and rear corner radar applications
  • Fast-ramp waveform with increased maximum bandwidth and speed/range resolution
  • Supports detection of dynamic objects like pedestrians or vehicles as well as stationary objects
  • Compact sensor design offers centralized and decentralized architecture supported by CAN-FD and Ethernet interfaces as well as new integration options
  • Supports cost-driven NCAP sensors as well as performance-driven sensors for AD, including options for commercial vehicles
