Software to detect dangerous road conditions and calibrate ADAS/autonomous driving systems

Conceived as a virtual sensor for detecting dangerous wet roads and aquaplaning, DAI has evolved into a platform with highly precise detection capabilities for tire loss of contact on various surfaces, including wet, and soon on ice, snow, gravel, potholes, and more.

With ASIL-B level readiness and easy integration in vehicle’s standard ECU, DAI facilitates ADAS calibration in challenging driving conditions, offering innovative safety functionalities for traditional, assisted, and autonomous vehicles.
Available as an OTA upgrade, DAI enables OEMs to implement new software-based features.
Additionally, by monitoring tire pressure and addressing wheel misalignments, DAI contributes to optimizing fuel/energy and CO2 consumption.
A single software product allows for both essential safety functions and enhancements to a vehicle’s efficiency, for any vehicles.

Main Features and Benefits

Active Safety for vehicle dynamics

– Recognizes different levels of safety on wet road and detects aquaplaning on single and both sides of the vehicle;

– Facilitates ADAS calibration in challenging driving conditions, offering innovative safety functionalities for actual and future vehicles;

– Can introduce new ADAS safety features tuned according to the level of tire contact to the road

– Identifying incorrect vehicle setup

Efficiency

– Integrates in vehicles as standalone software

– Requires no data and specific calibration

– Detecting wrong vehicle setup to optimize consumption, CO2, vehicle range

– Over-the-air (OTA) compliant

ASIL-B ready

Independent from tire wear, brand, and pressure

Building one of the most advanced virtual platforms

By continuously monitoring the contact patch (the portion of a vehicle’s tire that is in actual contact with the road surface), DAI is poised to become the ultimate solution to the challenges of driving assistance systems and driverless cars, being a crucial tool in detecting all low grip conditions, reducing CO2 emissions and fuel/energy consumption.
