Multifunction camera
A new multifunction camera is installed in model
series 212 to control the new driving assistance
systems. The multifunction camera is located below
the inside rearview mirror on the windshield.
The following systems are controlled:
• Adaptive Highbeam Assist
• Speed Limit Assist
• Lane Keeping Assist
The input variables and signals are read in by the
multifunction camera via the chassis CAN.
The integrated microprocessor evaluates the input
variables and signals, and the relevant components
are then actuated over the chassis CAN.
The multifunction camera records images of the scene
in front of the vehicle. The image recognition module
recognizes the input signals of the camera, such as
other road users, road signs and lane markings. The
decision module compiles all the relevant data, such
as references to other road users, their distance and
angle, the vehicle's current environment and the
current vehicle parameters. It then issues the appro-
priate requests, e.g. control of the headlamps, actua-
tion of the instrument cluster or control of the vibra-
tion motor in the steering wheel.
