Based on a Closing Velocity (CV) micro-optical
laser sensor, the
pre-crash sensing system for early accident detection from
Continental Automotive can dynamically determine the distance to an emerging obstacle as well as calculate the differential velocity with which the vehicle and obstacle are approaching each other. The
adaptive cruise control system works on the basis of
radar (77 GHz radar according to the pulse modulated
Doppler principle for independent measurement of speed and distance) or
infrared signals.
