Chennai – Tata motors Ltd of Mumbai, introduced WABCO’s Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), including a Collision Mitigation System(CMS) and a Lane Departure Warning System (LDWS) on its Prima and Signa trucks.
Girish Wagh, President - Commercial Vehicles, Tata Motors Ltd, said, “The introduction of Advanced Driver Assistance System solutions is yet another example will benefit operators and drivers through cutting-edge safety capabilities, which help reduce the risk of accidents. We highly value Wabco’s global technology leadership and ongoing commitment to strengthen the safety performance of our medium and heavy commercial vehicles. Helping us deliver sustained value for our customers, we will continue to partner with Wabco to develop industry-leading safety and efficiency technologies.”
P Kaniappan, Managing Director, Wabco India Ltd said, “We are proud to continue our strong partnership with Tata Motors with the introduction of Wabco’s industry-leading portfolio of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems to India’s dynamic growth market. It will play an important role in helping to reduce road accidents as well as enhancing operational efficiency. Tata Motor’s adoption of Wabco’s ADAS is also an important milestone in the technology roadmap towards autonomous driving for India’s commercial vehicle industry.”
1ADAS depend on sensors, such as radar and camera, to provide enhanced vehicular and occupant safety. Helping to mitigate driver error, these systems are capable of identifying a variety of different road traffic hazards to enhance driver and vehicle safety. Furthermore, integration of advanced driver assistance systems in the vehicle can help ensure the on-time delivery of goods by improving driver comfort and effectiveness as well as reducing accident downtime and related costs.
2CMS uses a powerful 77GHz radar sensor that maintains the system's high performance in all weather conditions. Its superior performance is particularly vital in poor visibility situations such as heavy rain, dense fog, blinding sunshine and night-time driving when camera-based sensors used on other collision mitigation systems may be impaired.
3LDWS system will help prevent unintentional lane departure, one of the most common causes of accidents involving commercial vehicles. The system uses a forward-looking, windshield-mounted camera to monitor and calculate the vehicle’s position within the lane. When it detects the vehicle crossing lane markings without the turn signal being activated, the system sounds an audible warning. This alerts the driver to take corrective action to prevent potential collisions and lane departure related road accidents.
