Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) for safer and more convenient driving

Based on its expertise in image processing and sensor fusion, Faurecia has developed a strong offer for automated parking systems as well as vision systems including surround view and e-mirrors.

E-mirror and surround view systems for better driver vision and safety

Combining state-of-the-art cameras with other sensing technologies such as e-mirror or ultrasonic sensors, FCE's technologies enhance convenience and security in all weather conditions, whether combating glare or complex light conditions in daytime or improving visibility for night driving. Business Group's advanced software expertise ensures real-time video processing to create a complete view of the driving environment via 360°, bird's-eye and 3D displays in the cockpit. Artificial intelligence-powered technologies detect and alert drivers to obstacles or risk factors – from blind spots and lane keeping to moving object detection.

e-mirrorThe e-mirror range provides dynamic view and alerts about the surrounding environment. Consisting of a camera, display and image processing unit, the e-mirror’s best-in-class visibility and performance in low-light settings enhance safety not just for vehicle occupants but for those in their vicinity as well, such as cyclists and pedestrians. By replacing the traditional exterior wing mirror with a compact, intelligent and lightweight sensor, it also contributes to reduced fuel consumption through better aerodynamics, and extends battery range for electric vehicles.

Automated and autonomous driving applications depend on having always-clear vision from the vehicle’s sensing technologies. Building on dirt sensing systems integrated in more than 1m vehicles, Faurecia Clarion continues to evolve cleaning solutions that detect dirt and ensure the clear operation of cameras in harsh environmental conditions.

360° parking assistance solutions

FCE provides a scalable range of assisted parking solutions to aid drivers in low-speed maneuvers for perpendicular, parallel, front or reverse parking, as well as with trailers. With the driver still onboard or controlling the vehicle remotely, these harness the power of image processing, data fusion from cameras and ultrasonic sensors as well as vehicle control algorithms to detect spaces, lines, obstacles or moving objects and operate the vehicle’s steering, accelerating and braking.

The automated parking system, launched in 2017, is a fusion-based solution with 4 cameras and 12 sensors that is able to detect obstacles and parking lines with 360° dynamic visualization. In addition, FCE is developing a next generation automated parking system that enables fully autonomous valet parking and pickup solutions through a dedicated app. Designed to improve convenience and safety in busy areas such as supermarket car parks, where individuals may be managing shopping trolleys, bags and young children, the automated parking systems is effective in a wide range of parking situations and driving conditions. The solution offers the best-in-class speed and success ratio in the automotive industry.
