Research Project KickOff - InFusion: Cloud-Anwendung für zeitlich veränderliche Fahrbahnzustandsinformationen für verschiedene Fahrzeugklassen basierend auf fusionierten Fahrzeugdaten von Fahrzeugen verschiedener Klassen (LKW/PKW)

VISCODA develops the detection, localization, and classification of road conditions in real-time from the in-vehicle front camera. The results are fused with information from other sensors (such as vibroacoustic, meteorologic, or traction control responses) for the estimation of vehicle specific road friction. A cloud based service increases traffic safety and efficiency for driving assistance and automated driving applications.

The research project is supported by the Bundesministerium für Verkehr und digitale Infrastruktur.
