Modern cars are more and more modern; sophisticated and look more and more like; a computer on 4 wheels. In the future, the technology that we will find on board the cars will be; even more; sophisticated. With the advent of advanced features, advanced assisted driving (and later autonomous driving), vehicles will need to be able to connect with the outside world in a variety of ways. For example, they will have to communicate with the road infrastructure, with various cloud systems and with the other cars on the roads.
At CES 2023 in Las Vegas, ZF will be able to communicate with the road infrastructure. present and will show the visitors the potential; of its ProConnect platform which will offer; to future generations of vehicles, this sophisticated capability will be brought to the table. of connectivity.
DESIGNED FOR DRIVING ASSISTANCE SYSTEMS
ZF says ProConnect is designed to support communication standards such as DSRC (Dedicated Short-Range Communication), C-V2X and vehicle-toeverything (V2X). Thanks to this system, for example, the car can communicate with the road infrastructure, such as traffic lights. ProConnect is also able to receive information relating to the sudden end of a traffic jam behind a bend or an approaching ambulance and warn the driver.
The data provided by this platform is then processed by the ZF ProAI computer together with information from the vehicle's sensors. In this way, ZF ProAI precisely defines the best driving strategies. ProConnect, therefore, will be; very important for future advanced driver assistance systems.
In addition to all this, ZF reports that ProConnect supports OTA updates. Therefore, over time it can change. receive improvements and new features. Such a platform for connected vehicles is the ultimate platform for connected vehicles. also able to send data on road conditions such as potholes, humidity, snow or ice to the cloud and to other connected cars (compatible models).
On the connectivity side, ZF ProConnect supports the 5G and LTE mobile communication standards. In addition, it is It is also enabled to use Bluetooth and WiFi and can connect vehicles to the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS). On the security side, this platform respects the ISO standards in terms of cybersecurity, says ZF. ZF ProConnect is compact and scalable with dimensions of 21.8 x 17 x 5 cm. Thanks to these measures, ZF highlights that its integration into cars becomes very simple.
