Question 1

What are the advantages of electronic exterior mirrors?

Accepted Answer

Significantly larger field of vision than conventional exterior mirrors
Better visibility in adverse environmental conditions
Combination of multiple video streams on one monitor, e.g. to make the entire side of the vehicle visible at a glance
Automatic display of the most important video images in this situation on the driver's monitor by integrating vehicle signals such as ‘Door Open’

Question 2

Does the driver have to ensure that the system is functioning correctly?

Accepted Answer

No – the system complies with Safety Integrity Level 1. This means that corresponding algorithms integrated into the system check the authenticity of the images. This ensures that no ‘frozen’ images are displayed to the driver. The latency, which is less than 200 ms, is also controlled by the system. The driver can therefore always rely on the system without having to check a light, clock or other display.

EN 50126 & EN 50129: Classification as SIL 1
EN 50155: Rail Standard (Climate tests)
