WABCO’s innovations in advanced driver assistance systems are providing the building blocks required for increasing levels of vehicle automation on the highway, in the city, and in the yard making us a leading partner for the commercial vehicle industry.

Watch Dr. Christian Brenneke, WABCO's Chief Technology Officer as he highlights the prominent role, WABCO plays in commercial vehicle automation, autonomous driving, and platooning, as well as key industry developments in China, India, and North America.

Watch WABCO's latest technology advancements that improve the safety, efficiency and connectivity of commercial vehicles helping pave the roadmap towards autonomous driving.

Mobilizing Vehicle Intelligence to improve the safety, efficiency, and connectivity of commercial vehicles.

Watch this video of WABCO's Autonomous Driving Open Platform Technology (ADOPT)  which will include applications that will connect to and be interoperable with our industry-leading braking, steering, stability control, driveline, and suspension control systems. The platform will be piloted in China.

WABCO demonstrates fail-operational systems for both braking and steering on autonomous commercial vehicles. The vehicle follows a pre-set, GPS-guided route. Should the active steering system malfunction, the braking system takes over. The braking system applies controlled braking forces to individual front wheels and, thereby, turns the steering to the desired direction.

WABCO demonstrates fail-operational capabilities for its braking system, a vital prerequisite for autonomous commercial vehicles of the future. The vehicle follows a pre-set, GPS-guided route and is programmed to come to a safe, complete stop at a specific location. Even if the primary braking system is disabled, a back-up system effectively stops the truck at the precise target position.

WABCO's lane keeping system relies on active steering capabilities to ensure commercial vehicles stay in their lane. A forward-looking camera monitors the vehicle's position within lane markings. A sophisticated control function directs the active steering system, which continuously keeps the vehicle centred within its lane. The next-generation safety technology combines WABCO's OnLane and active steering capabilities to prevent unintended lane drift and related road accidents.

WABCO advances optimum safety performance of commercial vehicles even in the most adverse environmental conditions. Today, drivers may encounter exceedingly stressful and dangerous driving situations when applying the brakes on mixed friction surfaces. Tomorrow, commercial vehicles will autonomously apply a combination of braking and active steering systems and, thereby, ensure full longitudinal and lateral vehicle control in the most challenging driving situations. 

WABCO envisions a future of platooning, in which multiple tractor-trailer combinations follow each other closely at highway speeds to benefit from improved aerodynamics. Based on industry-leading braking capabilities, WABCO ensures safe vehicle operation despite following distances being shortened. Combining platooning with active braking, including emergency braking, WABCO enables all vehicles engaged in a platooning formation to simultaneously apply full braking from 80-0 km/h when encountering stationary objects, improving the safety of commercial vehicles and fleets.

WABCO's active steering technology utilizes Magnetic Torque Overlay (MTO) from Nexteer Automotive to enable smart features that help maximize safety, increase uptime, and increase driver comfort and acceptance. The unique technical design of MTO provides a robust solution that differentiates with premium truck steering feel; low power consumption and low weight with virtually no impact on payload; and scalability and easy integration with the existing steering gear.
