Alcon Advanced Technologies will deliver a cost-effective brake actuator system for AVs, enhancing scalability and functionality with University of Surrey supporting development of AI-enhanced ABS and ESC algorithms. EVIE provides two platforms for the system, adapting their vehicle architecture to exploit advanced braking functionality and enabling demonstration of the system.
CAM Pathfinder - Demonstrate
Dynamic Braking for Autonomous Vehicles (D-BrAVe)
Introducing D-BrAVe, which is producing a cost effective, fail-operational brake system with ABS/ESC functionality for Level-4 AVs, enhancing safety and running speeds.
About the project
Project objectives
Objectives for this project include the following:
- Produce a commercially viable, fail-operational brake-by-wire actuation system specifically for Level 4 autonomous vehicles.
- Produce new dynamic feedback methods and interfaces to help improve vehicle stability at higher running speeds and in more challenging weather conditions.
