2-Wheeler Technologies on Display

Advanced Rider Assistant Systems (ARAS) for 2-Wheelers

The Blind Spot Detection (BSD) solution monitors blind spots for the rider on the adjacent lanes with a radar sensor and can provide visual warnings to the rider in case of any approaching vehicles. As an enhancement, this system can also indicate hazardous lane changes through the Lane Change Assist (LCA) feature. Rear-facing radar sensors can scan the road area behind and next to the motorcycle, warning the rider if a lane change is not recommended at a given point in time.

Optimized Curve Braking (OCB) feature helps riders apply brakes efficiently in curves or turns where there is a high tendency of accidents due to the wheels locking up. ABS first takes the angled position of the motorcycle (using lean angle information from the Continental sensor box) into account. Depending on the incline, the braking system control becomes highly sensitive to prevent wheel lock, while providing good braking and steering. This then improves handling of the vehicle in curves, making the braking process a lot safer.

Digital Service Platform

Empowering the vehicles with the digital services to create a seamless experience for the end consumers as well as shared mobility, fleet, and logistics operators. The services offered under this platform include Key as a Service, live tracking, geo fencing, User Registration & Management, B2B Interface, Smart Booking, and Trip History, among others.

Telematics Control Unit (TCU)

Connectivity is a key element in the automotive world and will even be more important in the future. Offering major network improvements and benefits, 5G will be a key enabler technology for future mobility. Enhanced data rates, higher reliability, and ultra-low response times will allow for real-time communication between vehicles, the infrastructure and an ever-growing number of connected devices. Continental TCU with latest mobile technology will help to further increase driving safety, comfort and efficiency.

Deflation Detection System Plus (DDS+)

DDS helps in detecting tire pressure loss by using wheel speed sensor signal, with no additional needs for sensors. The technology aids the safety of the vehicle at an optimized cost by merely collecting data from wheels speed sensor and projecting the tire pressure.

Mobile Communication Unit (MCU)

Continental’s Mobile Communication Unit (MCU) is a key component to connect the vehicle with the internet. The product ensures access to local information from a platform anywhere, anytime. The MCU has been optimized for micro-mobility vehicles. In combination with our “Digital Services Platform” (Backend) the MCU makes the vehicle ready for sharing operations instantly.

48V Battery Management System (BMS)

The 48V BMS supports the features such as cell voltage supervision and balancing, pack voltage and current supervision, SOC/SOH calculation and power prediction. The BMS is also ISO 26262 capable (ASIL C) equipped with cyber security.

CoSSY

The scalable Contact Sensor System (CoSSy) solution will typically include two to twelve sensors installed at optimal points in the vehicle. Once installed, the CoSSy sensor signals can cover many use-cases, such as the detection of vandalism (scratching) or low-speed parking incidents, because these types of touch are each characterized by a particular sound signature.

Wheel Speed Sensors (WSS)

WSS transmits the wheel speed every wheel to the Anti-Lock Braking System. It is a piece of safety equipment that prevents the wheels of a vehicle from locking up under emergency, panic, or harsh braking conditions,

Engine Speed Sensor

Engine Speed Sensor provides CAM and CRANK position signal to electronic control units (ECU) for engine management and ensure increase fuel efficiency and engine performance.

eRPS (Electric Rotary Position sensor)

The eRPS is used in Electric Vehicle at motor front end to check high speed rotor position sensor measuring the angular position of the rotor shaft in synchronous electric motors. The sensor signal is required for an efficient e-machine torque control used in electric and hybrid vehicles.

Key as a Service (KaaS)

KaaS is a secure, virtual key, and telematics solution that offers seamless user experience for vehicle access, start authorization, and accurate vehicle data.

Hybrid Display Solution with Connectivity feature

Segmented Display with Dot Matrix for custom Messages, the Connectivity features enables the user to explore Turn by Turn navigation and Mobile parameters to view on Cluster.

Diagnostic Solutions

Continental offers  smart, connected, and learning solutions to provide effective support to users in the service business. These solutions enable deep scrutiny of the vehicles to gather more details of their condition and their servicing needs.

TFT Display Solution

TFT based instrument cluster solution with BLE, Ethernet, Optical Bonding, Video input and Touch screen. This platform is highly customizable.

Generic Vehicle Control Unit (gVCU)

VCU designed with multiple and customizable vehicle interfaces for different vehicle control Applications supported with MBDS toolchain for safe and reliable application function programming.

Synchrochain Carbon belt

Heavy-duty timing belt featuring specially treated fabric, polyurethane teeth, carbon tension member and polyurethane backing for all extreme applications including replacing chains. Offers reduction in system width by up to 80 percent when compared with standard timing belts.
