Goodyear announced In cooperation with TNO, about a major advance in vehicle safety systems. The integration of tire intelligence technology into the automatic braking system (AEB) has proven During emergency situations, the car has the ability to mitigate the severity of collisions, especially in difficult road conditions.
Building on the success of the Goodyear and TNO mergerFor tire intelligence in ABS systems, which was shown at CES 2024.The new project further emphasizes the role of tire data in the development of automotive safety systems.
Automatic emergency braking, designed to help prevent or reduce the severity of collisions by automatically applying the brakes when a collision is detected, has become a major focus in the automotive industry. While current systems are typically tuned to high-friction surfaces such as dry asphalt, the integration of SightLineGoodyear’s Tire Intelligence Solutions suite, AEB can help To work effectively across a wider range of driving environments, including low-friction surfaces such as wet or icy roads. Through the contact patch, Tire Intelligence can provide the system with deeper insights into actual tire and road conditions to enable smarter, more accurate decisions.
“Safety is the cornerstone of Goodyear’s commitment to innovation,” said Chris Helsel, Goodyear’s senior vice president and chief technology officer. “By providing important input on tire and road conditions into AEB systems, we areWe help OEMs and their customers take a leap forward in safety, long before the deadline for the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration ( NHTSA) recommendation.) in 2029 for AEB systems In private vehicles. Otherwise, AEB systems will play a role. A crucial role in automated driving, helping to provide a comprehensive safety solution at all times.”
Recent wet road tests indicate that the AEB system The improved AEB, which includes Goodyear’s Sightline technology, has the ability to help mitigate impacts at speeds up to 80 km/h (50 mph) by applying early braking. Overall, the integration of AEB helps With SITELINE’s experience on tire and road condition data to ensure strong performance in a variety of conditions.
Martin Stamm, Marketing Director for TNO’s Mobility and Built Environment unit, said: “We are committed to enhancing the safety, efficiency and sustainability of vehicles. Our collaboration with Goodyear aims to predict the vehicle’s braking distance in more conditions, such as dry and wet asphalt, and activate AEB In time to reduce accidents and thus save lives. This knowledge is a key enabler for the safe introduction of higher levels of automation.”
This innovation positions Goodyear and its partners to be the leaders in providing advanced safety solutions to meet and exceed regulatory requirements. As major OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers prepare for the AEB Recommendation deadline By 2029, Sightline integration could provide a competitive advantage in the race to build safer, smarter vehicles.
