Rosco Demos Vision Quest Bus Equipped with Mobileye Shield+ Technology at Mcity in Ann Arbor

Last month, during the Vision Quest Bus tour, Rosco had the privilege of demoing the Mobileye Shield+ Technology at the brand-new Mcity test environment in Ann Arbor, MI. In conjunction with the Automated Vehicle Symposium, technology companies were allowed to showcase their technologies at the new $10 million test facility on the University of Michigan campus. 

The 32-acre testing facility resides on the University's North Campus Research Complex.The test track offers different driving surface simulators, including intersections, railroad crossings, roundabouts, brick and gravel roads, a simulated highway entrance ramp, parking spaces, a metal bridge, and even a tunnel.

The test track is open to university researchers, automakers, and technology companies wanting to test the latest, innovative automotive safety technology. 
What a perfect opportunity for Rosco to take the Vision Quest Bus for a spin!

The Mobileye Shield+ Pedestrian Detection Technology is the latest and greatest offering by Rosco. The Pedestrian Detection Technology displays amazingly simple LEFT, CENTER, and RIGHT alarm interfaces that communicate audio and visual alerts to drivers based on the pedestrians' location and the threat's severity. Utilizing an intelligent vision sensor that works like a bionic eye, the system identifies various potential dangers on the road, such as vehicles, cyclists, pedestrians, and more. When danger is imminent, visual and audible alerts warn the driver to make necessary corrections in sufficient time to avoid potential collisions or mitigate their severity.
