Bosch, the world's largest automotive supplier, has awarded Huber + Suhner a contract to manufacture and supply radar antennas for automated driving.

The antennas are used in radar sensors for assisted and automated driving, a vital plank of mapping a vehicle's surroundings for safe operation.

Huber + Suhner says its 3D antenna technology, based on metallised plastic, "plays a decisive role in ensuring that driver assistance systems can detect the position, relative speed and direction of movement of other road users and objects from a long distance and even at high speeds with the utmost reliability". 

The company says it can offer Bosch everything from one source, from engineering to series production.

    Despite much research and technological promise, progress towards cooperative infrastructure system deployment is still slow. Here, Robert Cone and John Miles take a considered look at how and when it might come about. From a systems engineering viewpoint it looks logical and inevitable that vehicles should be communicating between themselves and with the road infrastructure. But seen from a business viewpoint the case is not proven.

    New trials show Bluetooth and Wi-Fi signals can be reliably used for measuring travel times and at a lower cost than an ANPR system, but which is the better proposition depends on many factors. Measuring travel times has traditionally relied automatic number plate (or licence plate) recognition (ANPR/ALPR) cameras capturing the progress of vehicles travelling along a pre-defined route. Such systems also have the benefit of being able to count passing traffic and have become a vital tool in dealing with c
