CAPS functions today and tomorrow
Accident research is an important starting point for the development of new CAPS functions: We analyze traffic and crash data from all over the world. Typical crash scenarios form the basis for determining market requirements and are incorporated into functions and concepts for addressing such potentially dangerous situations.
The modular nature of CAPS provides plenty of freedom for the development of new functions. In addition to the examples described here, we also develop specific functions for our customers as required. A further benefit of modularity: the CAPS system is scalable and flexible and can be introduced into all vehicle segments.

CAPS function PRESET: individual occupant protection
The CAPS function PRESET utilizes the signals from the environmental driver assistance sensors to obtain information about an impending crash. Important parameters here are, for example, the direction and speed of the crash. PRESET uses this information to precisely match the triggering of airbags and pyrotechnical seat-belt tensioners to the crash. This function thus offers individual occupant protection for a variety of different crash scenarios.
