Jaguar Land Rover has taught Trailers become "transparent"

The new technology will save drivers from problems when maneuvering and parking a vehicle with a trailer

The company Jaguar Land Rover described the development of a new technology that will completely eliminate blind spots when traveling with a trailer or a trailer. The new system is called Transparent Trailer (Trailer transparent) allows the driver to see clearly all vehicles approaching from behind, and feel confident when maneuvering.

A prototype of the technology has been tested on the car Range Rover. It consists of a camera system circular view of the car, as well as wireless digital camera mounted on the rear of the trailer. These video signals are used to create a single image that is automatically displayed on the rear-view mirror in the cabin. The image obtained by the trailer "transparent" and does not interfere with the review from behind. When reversing camera image, located on the trailer, it is projected on the screen of the car multimedia system. This line allows to control the direction of movement of the vehicle position as well as the trailer.
"When overtaking you instinctively look in the rearview mirror, but in the case of towing a trailer your review is limited impressive blind zones. Developing technology transparent trailer, we aim to provide a comprehensive overview of the driver of the vehicle interior, regardless of the shape and size of the trailer. The prototype system is capable of creating a high quality image that is not distorted by the influence of other road users or obstacles. This means that the driver will provide reliable information for making safe and effective solutions for moving and maneuvering that will make traveling with a trailer or a trailer more comfortable and safe, "- said the director of research and technology Jaguar Land Rover Wolfgang Epple.
In addition, the company Jaguar Land Rover described the monitoring system of the cargo Cargo Sense. Thanks to the camera inside the trailer and pressure sensors on the floor, it allows you to optimally distribute the load of the trailer, and if there are any problems with the load - to receive a warning signal on the dashboard.
It adds that in 2014 the British automaker showed the technology, allowing to make "transparent" front rack of the car and thus greatly improve visibility
