KAFAS: Camera-based driver support systems

Depending on the options fitted, various camera-based systems are available. The light points, light colors and light intensities picked up by the video camera are evaluated by the KAFAS control unit. The evaluation by the KAFAS control unit results, among other things, in a recommendation to switch on or off the high-beam assistant. Technically, the system is implemented with a joint camera and a joint control unit, the KAFAS control unit.
