KAFAS: Camera-based driver support systems
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 18 other vehicles, including the 2015 BMW Alpina B7L xDrive, 2015 BMW Alpina B7 xDrive, 2015 BMW 750i xDrive, 2015 BMW 750Li xDrive, and 2015 BMW 740Li xDrive. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Depending on the options fitted, various camera-based systems are available. The light points, light colors and light intensities picked up by the KAFAS camera are evaluated by the KAFAS control unit. The high-beam assistant is integrated in the KAFAS control unit.
The KAFAS control unit identifies the oncoming and in front driving road users with help of the KAFAS camera. The high-beam assistant monitors the distant field (up to 1000 m) ahead of the vehicle for the identification of a vehicle. By doing this, oncoming vehicles are identified starting at a distance of 1000 m; vehicles that are driving in front are identified starting at 400 m.
