TOKYO, Oct 21, 2022 - (JCN Newswire) - Hitachi Astemo, Ltd. has developed a prototype 360-degree stereo vision system for automated vehicles traveling on regular streets.

Key Points: 
  • TOKYO, Oct 21, 2022 - (JCN Newswire) - Hitachi Astemo, Ltd. has developed a prototype 360-degree stereo vision system for automated vehicles traveling on regular streets.
  • Based on multi-camera 3D sensing, the all-surrounding sensing system is both high-resolution and highly accurate.
  • Hitachi Astemo, together with the Research and Development Division of Hitachi, Ltd., leveraged their strengths in stereo camera technology to develop a prototype of the 360-degree stereo vision system, using multi-camera 3D sensing that enables distance measurement with the stereo camera technology.
  • By integrating multi-camera 3D sensing into a single in-vehicle camera system, the system realizes 360-degree stereo vision, with a cost advantage, high accuracy and resolution.

TOKYO, Oct 20, 2022 - (JCN Newswire) - Hitachi Astemo, Ltd. has developed a prototype of a new steer-by-wire steering device that eliminates the conventional steering wheel and expands the cabin space.

Key Points: 
  • TOKYO, Oct 20, 2022 - (JCN Newswire) - Hitachi Astemo, Ltd. has developed a prototype of a new steer-by-wire steering device that eliminates the conventional steering wheel and expands the cabin space.
  • In anticipation of automated driving, Hitachi Astemo is leveraging the collective strength of the Hitachi Group in developing steer-by-wire technology.
  • With steer-by-wire systems, the lack of a mechanical link enables the downsizing of steering devices to increase cabin space and eliminate the conventional steering wheel altogether.
  • A smaller steering device, however, can result in the vehicle's steering being overly sensitive to driver inputs.

Hitachi: Development of an Anti-Jerk Control to Improve Ride Comfort of Electrified Vehicles and Prototype of motor torque control to improve power consumption and stability of electrified vehicles

To solve this issue, Hitachi Astemo developed a prototype that leverages the features of electrified vehicles.

Key Points: 
  • To solve this issue, Hitachi Astemo developed a prototype that leverages the features of electrified vehicles.
  • Electric vehicles are also equipped with a mechanism called regenerative braking, which converts the torque into electric energy when the accelerator pedal is released.
  • It quickly reduces the motor's rotation with torque and it generates electricity while uses torque for the braking force.
  • Hitachi Astemo has developed an anti-jerk control system that takes advantage of the motor's torque characteristics and the braking power of regenerative braking.
