Automotive sensor developer Foresight Autonomous Holdings’ wholly owned subsidiary, Eye-Net Mobile, has successfully completed a controlled-environment trial of its Eye-Net cellular-based accident prevention solution for a major vehicle manufacturer.
The trial, conducted at a designated test track, evaluated Eye-Net’s ability to protect vehicles and vulnerable road users from oncoming collisions, to test the system’s performance and robustness, and to discuss the possible suitability of the Eye-Net solution for the connected car platforms of the OEM.
Eye-Net Mobile tested several predefined extreme accident-simulated scenarios at various speeds up to 50mph (80km/h). The scenarios included multiple vehicles, pedestrians and cyclists, which had no direct line of sight. In all cases, the participants in the trial used the Eye-Net application installed on their smartphones.
According to the company, the Eye-Net system successfully filtered out non-critical events and sent real-time alerts only to the participants who were in potentially unsafe situations, in order to prevent an oncoming collision. In all scenarios tested, Eye-Net is reported to have met all predefined objectives of the controlled-environment trial.
The controlled-environment trial took place at the conclusion of Eye-Net Mobile’s large-scale trial. Prior to the controlled trial, Eye-Net Mobile presented an analysis of the large-scale trial’s results to the OEM.
