TECNALIA showcases self-driving systems for better road safety at Go Mobility

10 March 2020

A través de sensores e inteligencia artificial, estos sistemas detectan obstáculos externos e indicios de distracción por parte del conductor para ayudar a realizar una conducción 100% segura

Automated driving systems have become a leading tendency in the crusade to improve road safety. In the drive towards total vehicle automation, TECNALIA research and technological development centre has developed two types of innovative solutions for sector businesses interested in leveraging forthcoming changes in mobility: driver-assistance systems and systems that allow car and driver to share control of the vehicle. These solutions will be showcased at Go Mobility, southern Europe's benchmark sustainable mobility event, to be held over 11-12 March at FICOBA, Irun.

Shared control systems enable fluid collaboration between automated vehicle and driver, using sensors to detect driver distraction, fatigue and drowsiness levels and other road safety hazards. Under these circumstances, the system can take control over the vehicle and make the necessary adjustments,, turning the wheel, reducing speed, and so on. Once safety has been restored, the driver may then take back control, by means of a progressive, reliable, coherent, safe transition of command.
