BMW 5 Series: System overview

Below we describe which main components or sensors are relevant to Evasion Aid.

  • Object or obstacles are detected by means of the KAFAS stereo camera and the ACC Stop&Go front radar sensor.
  • The four side radar sensors monitor the area around the vehicle. The data from the KAFAS stereo camera is also analyzed and in this way a possible free space for an avoidance maneuver can be identified.
  • A target trajectory (also known as a path curve), that is the "escape track" itself, is calculated in the Optional Equipment System (SAS) control unit.
  • The driving dynamics function software in the Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) control unit calculates a target steering torque based on the "escape track".
  • The target steering torque is converted to an engine torque by the Electronic Power Steering (EPS), which finally results in a supporting steering intervention, if necessary.

    The maximum steering torque has been set in such a way that it can always be overruled by the driver and therefore steering past the maximum steering torque is possible.

     Limits of the system

    The collision warning has a limited capacity for detection. As a result, incorrect or delayed warnings may occur and consequently Evasion Aid is limited in its operation. It is also possible that th

     Cross Traffic Alert

    The Cross Traffic Alert was used for the first time in the G12. This warning assists the driver when maneuvering out of a parking space and in other everyday situations where it is difficult to see the traffic, such as at blind entrances and exits. Depending on the vehicle equipment, the Cross Tr
