DEMO 2: Enhancing the interaction between vehicles and VRUs under bad weather conditions

Demo 2 will include advanced sensor technology for reliable and robust object detection in all weather conditions, particularly for improving VRU detection under bad weather conditions with more accurate object detection and sensor data fusion. 

The prototype, consisting of 6 radars, 1 video camera, and 1 Lidar (see images below) will be installed in a VW Golf car provided by BOSCH. 

Demo 2 will be tested in different rain and fog conditions at THI's facilities. This will allow the vehicle to have an improved 360º view that will serve as input for the advanced vehicle dynamics systems for emergency braking/steering (in Demo 3).
