The KAFAS control unit is found in the driver's footwell next to the central gateway module. The light points, light colors and light intensities picked up by the video camera are evaluated by the KAFAS control unit. The evaluation by the KAFAS control unit results in a switch-on or switch-off recommendation. The video camera is connected to the KAFAS control unit by means of a 12-pin line. The KAFAS control unit is connected to the PT-CAN.
