To meet the standards for rearview systems in the USA, EVOMOTIV is developing a regulatory-compliant testing procedure according to FMVSS 111 regulations.
Project Details
Initial situation:
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) in the USA, the use of rear view camera systems poses an additional risk of accidents because drivers rely on the system and neglect to look directly into the rear view area. To minimize the risk of accidents, the NHTSA has issued the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards 111 (FMVSS 111) for the USA. This describes the requirements for rear view systems.
Project assignment:
The development of a legally compliant test procedure according to the FMVSS 111 regulations and testing the corresponding criteria on a vehicle. This is followed by an evaluation of the checked criteria and an assessment of the system's compliance with the requirements of a rear view camera system set out in FMVSS 111.
Implementation:
The necessary requirements for the test procedure to be developed were recorded from FMVSS 111. Based on the information reviewed, the individual criteria were transferred to a test catalog. A corresponding test environment was also set up that met the requirements of the FMVSS 111 draft law. The individual points of the test catalog were tested and documented within the test environment. Finally, an evaluation of the individual criteria was carried out and a corresponding final report was prepared based on the test results.
Solution:
There is a FMVSS 111 compliant test procedure that can be used to carry out and evaluate the necessary approval tests for rear view camera systems. Finally, a clear recommendation can be made for or against the approval of the system.
