Profile: ZF Friedrichshafen AG, Active & Passive Safety Technology Division specializes in offering automotive supplies. We produce active systems in braking, steering, suspension & sophisticated occupant safety systems, including airbags, seat belts and steering wheels. Our forward collision warning (FCW) systems are based on camera or radar sensors monitoring the road ahead. They provide object recognition and detect relative speeds between a vehicle and objects in the road. If the closing speed represents a risk of an impending collision, drivers can be alerted through a number of warning methods. The camera-based FCW system uses a forward-looking monocular camera with object recognition, mounted on the windscreen behind the rearview mirror. This is linked to a warning device. The camera-based system can also support lane departure warning functionality. The electric park brake is a fully integral part of the brake system that also allows for emergency brake control. When combined with electronic stability control (ESC) system, emergency braking is executed allowing for full four-wheel ABS stop functionality if required.
