Continental head-up display
The latest augmented reality head-up display (AR-HUD) from automotive supplier 260 Continental supplements the exterior view of traffic conditions in front of the vehicle with virtual information (augmentations) for the driver. Developed from the previous HUD, the latest AR-HUD now the displays the reflected information where it becomes a part of the driving situation.

Based on camera and radar data from the vehicle sensors and taking into account the vehicle dynamics data, digital map data and GPS positioning, the device calculates a model of the real exterior view from the driver’s perspective and can position the information at the correct visual point.

When navigating, a virtual symbol inserted into the exterior view shows the vehicle trajectory on a curve in front of the vehicle.   The system also supports the use of adaptive cruise control (ACC); when ACC is enabled, a crescent-shaped marking in the AR-HUD highlights a vehicle detected in front.

The device also reflects navigation information in the real exterior view, allowing the driver to reverse without having to look back and forth between the navigation screen and the road.

    Wrong-way warning systems and advanced queue detection can help to reduce human error. They can also cut road accidents – and therefore road deaths, says Clearview Intelligence Where were nearly 1,800 deaths on the UK’s roads in 2018 – an average of five people dying each day. The largest single cause of serious injury is crashes at junctions (accounting for 33% of incidents), while the largest single cause of death was run-off road crashes (30%) “With vehicles increasingly being designed with saf

    The adaptation of machine vision to transport applications continues apace. That the machine vision industry is taking traffic installations seriously is evident by the amount of hardware and software products tailor-made for ITS applications that are now available on the market. A good example comes from US-based Gridsmart Technologies which has developed a single wire fisheye camera that provides a horizon to horizon view for use at intersections. Not only does the single camera replace four or more in a

    For some, machine vision is the coming technology. For others, it’s already here. Although it remains a relative newcomer to the ITS sector, its effects look set to be profound and far-reaching. Encapsulating in just a few short words the distinguishing features of complex technologies and their operating concepts can sometimes be difficult. Often, it is the most subtle of nuances which are both the most important and yet also the most easily lost. Happily, in the case of machine vision this isn’t the case:
