Valeo has announced that its Smart Safety 360 (VSS360) ADAS system has been selected by one of India’s leading OEMs.
The system will be used to provide advanced driving assistance functions for commercial vehicles, with a new version of set to be designed specifically for the Indian market and manufactured at the company’s facility in Sanand, Gujarat.
Valeo’s ‘one-stop shop’ ADAS system aims to provide a set of safety and comfort functions, including a Moving Off Information System, protection of pedestrians and cyclists during pull-away, Blind Spot Information System, the monitoring of critical side zones for vulnerable road users and main ADAS functions such as Forward Collision Warning, Automatic Emergency Braking, and Lane Departure Warning.
The system also incorporates regular software updates in order to maintain performance via over-the-air-updates delivered throughout the vehicle’s lifecycle, as well as Driver Drowsiness & Attention Warning software, which actively monitors the driver’s attention level to mitigate the risk of accidents caused by fatigue.
Jayakumar G, Group President & Managing Director, Valeo India, said:This award marks an important milestone in expanding our ADAS portfolio in the commercial vehicle segment in India. By localising these advanced solutions, we aim to deliver highly competitive products tailored to our customers’ needs.
