Legal Regulations and NCAP

Legal Regulations and NCAP

CES clients must comply with various regulations such as the EU-General-Safety-Regulation (GSR), Chinese commercial vehicle homologation, or Brazilian tax-incentives for crash avoidance​.

Governments worldwide contribute to road safety by making active safety features like Emergency-Brake-Assist mandatory for all new vehicles. This results in continuously increasing technical complexity of vehicle electrical architectures and intensifying development efforts to comply with the new legislation.  This is particularly challenging for small OEMs and new players in the automotive industry. In the EuroNCAP evaluation scheme of 2010, EuroNCAP prioritized crash avoidance and Active-Safety features. Starting in 2020, reaching a 4-5 star rating, which is still the main developmental target for most OEMs, is only possible with many ADAS sensors and Active Safety features working in harmony.
 
Achieving regulatory approval is not limited to ADAS/Active Safety features.  AVAS (Acoustic Vehicle Alerting Systems), an acoustical warning system to alert vulnerable road users about approaching vehicles, is already mandatory for EVs in many regions. Cyber Security is closely related to all vehicle safety aspects and is also part of much upcoming mandatory legislation.
 
From concept development to turnkey solutions based on Continental components and functions, our portfolio covers everything you need to comply with GSR- and NCAP-requirements.
 
CES can support you in designing or implementing your next GSR, NCAP, or other compliance activities.

ADAS

Advanced Driver Assistance Systems are the key enablers of tomorrow‘s autonomous vehicles. Already today, ADAS technologies enable a high level of driving comfort and crash avoidance via features like Adaptive Cruise Control and Emergency Brake Assist.

Perception Development Kit (PDK)

For automated driving functions, 360° sensor coverage and central data fusion becomes inevitable. We offer a modular, off-the-shelf prototype solution for your development activities. A set of different hardware and software modules fit the kit for your individual application.

AVAS

Acoustic Vehicle Alerting System (AVAS) is an additional element to electrical vehicles that artificially generates a sound which will be generated through loudspeakers or actuators based on vibration of structural elements of the vehicle proportional to vehicles parameters, for example velocity, gas pedal position and gear.

Interior Camera

To understand what the driver exactly needs is crucial to offer a real Holistic Human-Machine Interface experience. Therefore our systems gather the current condition of drivers. Our technology enables gaze target recognition, face recognition or drowsiness classification as well as the thermal comfort. That will be a base for a natural interaction and joy of use.

Simulation Engineering

With comprehensive experience from a multitude of automotive development projects, CES’ Business Center Virtual Testing & Simulation is your partner for creating simulation-based solutions and tool environments, based on proven methods and processes.

Camera Sensor

Lane-, sign and traffic-light-recognition and unmatched strenghts in object classification make cameras of various characteristics a key element of environment perception.
