Hanover Fair 2018The nominees for the Hermes Award 2018
The five finalists for the Hermes Award 2018 have been announced! Deutsche Messe, organizer of the Hannover Messe, has made its decision. The winner will be announced by Federal Research Minister Anja Karliczek on April 22 following the opening ceremony of the industrial trade fair.
Technische Hochschule Ingolstadt / Continental from Frankfurt am Main: The 'Safe' project was nominated. It includes an integral protection system for automated driving. SAFE uses camera, radar and lidar sensors to reliably predict the severity of an expected accident and trigger protection systems before and at the time of a collision. A Safety Domain Control Unit controls the decision as to which safety measures are taken. Predictive vehicle safety systems are indispensable for autonomous driving, as they contribute significantly to the acceptance of driverless mobility and ensure that customer acceptance of highly automated driving is guaranteed.
