WABCO demonstrates fail-operational systems for both braking and steering on autonomous commercial vehicles. The vehicle follows a pre-set, GPS-guided route. Should the active steering system malfunction, the braking control system takes over and applies controlled braking forces to specific front wheels, thereby maintaining steering in the desired direction. |
| WABCO demonstrates fail-operational capabilities for its braking system, a vital prerequisite for autonomous commercial vehicles of the future. The vehicle follows a pre-set, GPS-guided route and is programmed to come to a safe, complete stop at a specific location. Even if the primary braking system is disabled, a back-up system effectively stops the truck at the precise target position. |
This next-generation safety technology combines WABCO's OnLane with active steering capabilities to prevent unintended lane drift and related road accidents. WABCO's lane keeping system relies on active steering capabilities to ensure the commercial vehicle stays in its lane. A forward-looking camera monitors the vehicle's position within lane markings while a sophisticated control function directs the active steering system to continuously keep the vehicle centered in its lane. | Full Braking on Mixed Friction Surfaces
