New Renault Twingo adopts ADAS

The city car from Renault will be one of the highlitghts of the Paris Motor Show (Mondial de l'Automobile) this autumn. Despite it's a small and entry level car, the french brand has decided to add some high-tech features.

For instance, the new Twingo will offer a lane departure warning system based on a camera. A first for that range of cars.

Renault has integrated as well a back up camera and a hill start assist.

Last but not least, the New Twingo will be connected : either by the R-Link in-dash touch screen tablet (with connected services and apps), or a smartphone based navigation (including eco driving assist).

SASHA reduces cost of development of safety critical systems

Image
Last week, an important research project on functional safety just ended. Called SASHA (for Safety check of Automotive Software & Hardware Architecture), this two-year project driven by 6 partners was established to better understand the new standard for functional safety, ISO26262. This standard was applied to a real case of the development of an E-Gas system in order to create a tool for an optimized development process. It also included the modeling of a novel 32bit-microcontroller (ASIL C/D compatible) in TLM (Transaction Level Model). Such modeling allows to make software for a new microcontroller before its final hardware is available and to check details of the interior behavior of the device without opening it. Partners of the project were: - STMicroelectronics, Research partner and Coordinator, - Renault, Delphi, Knowledge Inside, Université de Compiegne and ESG France, Partners. The project was initiated inside Systematic and Moveo clusters and was funded by
