ZF TRW says it has secured initial contracts for its next generation camera system – the S-Cam4 family – with an unnamed major European manufacturer.

“This fully scalable family of cameras is designed to meet increasingly stringent regulatory requirements for advanced driver assist system (DAS) technologies while supporting the evolution toward automated driving,” said ZF TRW EVP of sales and business development, Peter Lake.

“We are very pleased to begin supplying these advanced cameras to a premiere European vehicle manufacturer beginning in 2018.”

The S-Cam4 family includes a single lens, mono-camera version based on a standard housing and mechanical package designed to help meet test protocols such as EuroNCAP pedestrian-triggered automatic emergency braking (AEB) and new potential requirements including a crossing bicycle AEB test.

The camera family also includes a premium lens TriCam4 version to support advanced semi-automated driving functions.

The next-generation single lens unit builds on the recently launched S-Cam3 mono camera, while the three lens camera adds a telephoto lens for improved long distance sensing and a fish-eye lens for improved short range sensing.
