Mobileye teams up with Delphi for Volvo’s collision detection system

11 May 2009

In order to deliver vital vision processing technology for the next generation Volvo S60, scheduled to debut in mid-2010, Mobileye has teamed uo with Delphi and Volvo.

Including Full Speed Range Adaptive Cruise Control and a Collision Warning & Mitigation system with full automatic braking power that detects moving and stationary vehicles as well as pedestrians, the system warns the driver of an imminent collision and automatically brakes the vehicle if the driver is unable to do so.

Mobileye provides the EyeQ2 vision processor chip and the vision algorithms for Delphi's radar and vision system that is at the heart of the Volvo S60's new active safety system. Delphi provides the camera module and radar sensor.
Furthermore the new Volvo uses input from the Delphi vision and radar sensors to allow full automatic braking power when it estimates a high risk for collision with a pedestrian or vehicle, unlike most competitive systems that limit braking power to 50%.

Mobileye's EyeQ2 system on chip enables the necessary processing power for the challenging task of pedestrian detection, as well as vehicle detection, lane detection and data fusion. This system enhances the current Delphi - Mobileye system installed already on previous Volvo models.
