Abstract
Considering the concern of the European community about traffic safety in terms of road deaths and injuries, a major role is given to the phenomenon of aquaplaning, which consists of a loss of traction caused by a layer of water accumulated between the vehicle wheels and the road surface. Facing this issue, different OEMs and private companies are developing vehicle sensors and add-ins to reach the ambitious goal of zero road deaths by 2050 imposed by the European Community: considering this scenario, the EasyRain company has stood out from all the others. EasyRain has developed an innovative effect-based virtual sensor able to detect whether or not the occurrence of aquaplaning is affecting vehicle stability: this is the Digital Aquaplaning Information (DAI) sensor.
The company has also taken a step forward by developing the first active safety system able to restore the control of the vehicle when in dangerous low-grip conditions by spraying a pressurized jet of windshield washer fluid in front of the vehicle's front tires to open the water layer: this is the Aquaplaning Intelligent Solution (AIS) platform
