ZF is driven by innovation to realize its Vision Zero - Zero emissions and zero accidents. We work on this next generation mobility in 5 distinct technology fields - autonomous driving, electric mobility, integrated safety, vehicle motion control and digitalization/software. To stay at the forefront of innovation ZF continuously searches for partnerships and collaboration opportunities with Startups.
Despite advances in traffic safety technology, road accidents cause severe human and economic losses every year. According to Together for Safer Roads , the annual cost of car accidents worldwide is around $518 billion, which is equivalent to roughly 1-2% of each country’s GDP. The primary goal on the road to Vision Zero is to avoid accidents. At the same time, every effort must be made to mitigate the consequences of crashes that cannot be avoided. ZF and PreAct are collaborating on crash mitigation and will jointly develop technologies for this purpose.

Computer vision (CV) and AI technology have advanced to a point where it is possible to reliably evaluate camera footage to gain valuable business insights. In the highly standardized logistics industry, for example, monitoring the cargo is critical to reducing unused space, improving worker safety, and detecting movements that could damage the cargo and the vehicle.

Especially relevant for Commercial trucking Companies and Trucking OEMs.
ZF/Wabco and Gestoos are going to showcase their recent joint development efforts for a real-time intelligent vision solution for commercial trucking trailers. Gestoos’ expertise in computer vision and machine learning along with ZF/Wabco’s deep experience and knowledge of commercial trucking systems proved a winning combination. ZF and Gestoos worked on efficiency and safety related use cases for cargo trailers.
We are at a stage in the computer vision evolution where technology can understand what is happening in real-time. This can be used not only to generate safety alerts when anomalies are detected but also to deliver live cargo data which can be used to optimize operating logistics.

ZF pursued a precrash sensing project with PreAct that could reliably predict an imminent collision, using a low-cost sensor. NHTSA and other road safety agencies have determined that the vast majority of injuries and deaths can be prevented if an imminent collision can be reliably detected only milliseconds prior to impact. PreAct and ZF agreed to collaborate on a precrash system design and testing and have so far achieved excellent results using PreAct’s novel sensors and edge processing combined with ZF…
