Driver Assistance Systems (DAS). Essential.

Your personal assistant

For more safety. For more comfort. Driver Assistance Systems are auxiliary electronic equipment in trucks and buses. They can keep vehicles on track, maintain a constant distance, and initiate emergency braking. Their task: to support drivers, particularly in critical driving situations. Their method: to accelerate analysis of the driving situation and shorten activation times. Their goal: To promote traffic safety. Also: To improve driving comfort. Improve economic efficiency.

Lane Departure Warning Systems (LDWS) – Stay on track

Warning – stay in your lane! Lane Departure Warning Systems from Knorr-Bremse warn the driver immediately once their vehicle leaves its ideal line. Cameras serve as the “eyes” of the Lane Departure Warning System by detecting lane markings and the vehicle's position at all times. The electronic LDW system continuously analyzes and assesses the recorded data for optimal detection of the lane and position. If the vehicle changes lanes unexpectedly, it warns the driver in just fractions of a second.

Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) – At a distance

Keep your distance! Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is essential for helping truck and bus drivers maintain a safe distance from the vehicle in front, in particular when they are driving in a convoy. The system precisely controls the set speed and distance from the vehicle driving in front, thereby preventing drivers from running into slower vehicles. This distance controller is also called a follower control. In addition to the speed controller, Knorr-Bremse offers the curve speed controller as an additional function. In addition, Knorr-Bremse ACC systems can handle stop & go traffic, no matter the speed range. Adaptive cruise control systems also more effectively utilize roadway capacity.

Advanced Emergency Braking Systems (AEBS) – Full stop!

Immediate braking. The innovative Advanced Emergency Braking System (AEBS) from Knorr-Bremse brakes the vehicle immediately in reaction to either slower moving or stationary obstacles. This feature is designed to prevent accidents. The AEBS detects potential crashes independently using sensors, then automatically initiates emergency braking. The combination of multiple sensor systems (combining data from the camera and radar) is designed to minimize false alarms.
