Solaris and Poznań University of Technology working on advanced driver assistance system
By Jim Gibbins - 1st February 2020
Poland – Solaris Bus & Coach of Belochowo is working with Poznań University of Technology, Poznan on developing an advanced system of assistance for drivers of city buses, mostly electric ones. Project tests were run recently in front of the Municipal Stadium in Poznań with the electric bus able to precisely show the driver how to dock the pantograph under a charging station.
Devised jointly by engineers of Solaris and of the Poznań University of Technology, the system will facilitate the performance of simple and complex manoeuvres, such as driving forward and backward or parking, but it will also constitute an invaluable support when carrying out precise movements, for instance docking the pantograph to the charging station, which proves challenging in the case of articulated vehicles.
