Valeo has been chosen to supply its Valeo Smart Safety 360 (VSS360) to a European original equipment manufacturer (OEM) vehicle platform.
The integration of VSS360 is expected to enhance the safety around vehicles and streamline the development of autonomous driving capabilities.
The system combines hardware, software development expertise, and system integration skills to ensure comprehensive safety around vehicles.
It is designed to minimise accidents, enhance driver assistance, and contribute to the progression of autonomous vehicles while adhering to safety standards.
Offering a “cost-optimised” solution, the Valeo Smart Safety 360 is claimed to provide best-in-class driving and parking performance in a scalable 1-box or 2-box ADAS configuration.
It eliminates individual electronic control units (ECUs) and minimally impacts the architecture of the vehicle.
The system is tailored to scale from basic EU General Safety Regulation (GSR) compliance to advanced Level 2+ functions, and complies with the US Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 127.
For the European premium OEM, the Valeo Smart Safety 360 is said to ensure peak performance and system dependability through the integration of cameras, radars, and ultrasonic sensors, all developed, manufactured, and integrated by the company, leveraging computer vision technology.
Valeo noted that radar fusion will be incorporated into its smart front camera, and an extra Parking ECU will facilitate hands-free parking, manage up to four surround-view cameras, and control 12 ultrasonic sensors.
Valeo BRAIN division CEO Marc Vrecko said: “This new award for Valeo Smart Safety 360 underscores Valeo’s leading position as a comprehensive provider of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems solutions (ADAS), capable of meeting the stringent safety and performance demands of the automotive industry. It reflects our constant drive to innovate for ever-safer mobility.”
Earlier this year, Stellantis and Valeo introduced Europe’s first remanufactured LED headlamp alongside a remanufactured infotainment display screen.
