A cloud-based Falschfahrer warning from Bosch to detect wrong-way driver and warn other motorists of the danger in a timely manner. For this, however, the position of all vehicles must be continuously transmitted to the Internet.

With a new software Bosch Geisterfahrer will henceforth recognize already after ten seconds and warn the driver at his mistake. The same time, other motorists are warned in time of the danger. The company wants to ensure recourse to a cloud database. At this constantly the position of all vehicles to be transmitted, which are equipped with the software.

Reliable with many participants

In order to warn the driver and oncoming quickly can, the vehicle location to be anonymous but continuously transmitted to the cloud. It makes sense, the system is also only if as many riders participate. The only way to be clamped a tight safety net that reliably warns wrong-way drivers, adds Bosch. The company intends to introduce the software already 2016th

The cloud service need except a permanent Internet connection, no additional hardware, can therefore be retrofitted in already built-up infotainment products or you put it on the smartphone. Except in the App MyDriveAssist Bosch software can also be integrated into other products manufacturers. An installation in standardized emergency concepts such as eCall holds Bosch also possible. Bosch in any case hopes for a rapid acceptance and therefore wants to keep the equipment as economically as possible. (MHO )
