Vehicles with this innovative rail technology could go into series production as early as 2025. The solution is particularly suitable for manufacturers working on new interior concepts with extended functions. Brose is currently in talks with several automakers. For greater comfort in the rear, contoured individual seats form from the back row and assume a reclining position if desired. New engine technology The supplier has also applied its many years of experience in the drive sector to electronically commutated motors for seat adjustment. These operate significantly faster and quieter than conventional variants. In the event of an imminent accident, they move passengers into an upright position in a fraction of a second to ensure adequate protection. This is necessary, for example, to be able to safely use the reclining function of seats while on the move. In regular, changing driving situations, the newly developed motors provide up to five times the adjustment speed of current seats. This enables significantly faster adjustment of the interior and thus greater flexibility and comfort for vehicle users. Radar sensors for safety When seats move and fold down auto- matically, passengers and the interior must be protected from harm and damages. Brose has developed powerful radar sensors for this collision protection. Their precise and reliable operation is what makes many new comfort experiences possible in the first place. In addition, the sensors can take on other tasks: From parking assistance and anti-theft protection to interior monitoring, which can also detect and distinguish between small children or pets. Software for intelligent function networking New possibilities only add to comfort if they are be easy to operate. Brose has developed the „BRAIN – Brose Access and Interior Network“ software for easy configuration and coordination of the various functions. Depending on the vehicle‘s electronics architecture, the software is installed on one or more central processing units that can control both company components and third-party products. The vehicle manufacturer or the users themselves use an intuitive configuration program to determine how they want the car‘s comfort functions to behave in various situations. BRAIN then translates these wishes into control signals and coordinates the movement of the components involved. New functions can be added quickly and easily. Thanks to a connection to the cloud, individual settings can be automatically transferred to new vehicles, for example in car sharing. This also makes new business models possible in which the user can book additional functions permanently („add-on“) or for a limited time („payper-use“) – for example an invigorating back massage. In addition to secure anchoring, cargo modules also provide a power and data interface. Share
