BMW Emergency Stop Assistant
For many years agencies of driver’s safety inform about accidents connected with loss of control over the car because of the reason that a driver feels himself bad.
It has become a problem for people of different age groups, and for a long time already has been informed about plans of creation of system which would warn such situations.
BMW has become a part of project Smart Senior which is developed in Germany. As the participant of this scale project BMW is engaged in system engineering Emergency Stop Assistant which can stop independently and safely the car and propose some help.
The system is in a phase of tests. Now the prototype can work only in the conditions of highway.
Emergency Stop Assistant defines a bad feeling of a driver, automatically changes to an independent mode and safely stops the car at a roadside.
«Smart Senior – intellectual system of the help to the pensioners, allowing make their life easier and safer. The new system will allow older persons feel safe and be safe for others. BMW supports program Smart Senior by means of the system Emergency Stop Assistant.
People with problems of cardiovascular system can’t doubt any more in the possibility of operating their car. This doubt appears because of fear before problems with health which can arise on the journey. Such incident can cause a dangerous situation on road, and harm, both to the driver, and other participants of movement. Project head Ralf the Deck explains: «Our problem consists in avoiding the situations connected with loss of control over the car because of problems with health, or, at least, to reduce consequences of such situation».
In general the car works as follows. The car, having found out that the driver unexpectedly has become to feel badly, turns on emergency alarm systems, reduces speed and reconstructs to a roadside, then completely stops and calls for the help to a place of situation. The major problem is precisely to define when to the driver has become to feel bad. At work the system should face various road situations which can be a huge set. That is why the system still passes tests only on highway because to carry out the problem here is much easier.
System work is based on already available systems of the help to a driver, included to the package BMW Connected Drive.
The system is based on the gauges supervising vital indicators of the driver, working together with a package of help BMW Connected Drive. Since spring of 2007, BMW practices transfer of the message about accident to an automatic mode. The message includes the details about accident, an exact place of the car, the information about the worked pillows and about quantity. The intellectual system works on the basis of the information of the passive safety received from gauges: gauges of pillows, seat belts. In the near future it will be possible to create system which will be able transfer vital indicators of participants of accident. Project Smart Senior is engaged in reception of vital indicators of the driver and the passenger in a mode of real time.
Help systems, as for example the Lane Departure Warning (help system at departure from a lane), active cruise control can help with system Emergency Stop Assistant creation.
Creation of such system is rather a challenge from a technical aspect. The car should skillfully cope with all information transferred by gauges, to distinguish objects and cars, to understand road conditions. The system should make strategically important decisions instead of the driver and do it very precisely: the error can aggravate a situation even more.
