Motorcycle Integral Brake Systems (MIB) With the MIB system, both wheels can be used for braking, although MiniMAB the driver only activates one brake. The system recognizes the request of the driver to brake and actively builds up pressure on the other brake circuit, which results in both wheels being activated for braking. Both systems can support the Rear-Wheel Lift-off Protection (RLP) functionality. This prevents lift-off of the rear wheel. In addition, the RLP function prevents the motorcycle from somersaulting through countermeasures such as moderate pressure modulation in the front brake.

Brake hoses Brake hoses – experience counts Continental is one of the world’s leading brake hose suppliers and has many years of experience with the entire hydraulic brake technology. Our high level of expertise with respect to the installation in the vehi- cle, as well as optimized assembly processes and a high degree of automation, secure a world class quality standard.

Brake hose Type 9 – proven competence Continental’s hose Type 9 started with series production in 2005, and its combination of EPDM inner and outer rubber with double layer PVA yarn offers a high degree of dynamic strength, pressure, and thermal resistance as well as chemical robustness to oil, fuel, and all environ- mental impacts. Extensive own test benches and laboratories are available for testing according to all customer-specific requirements.

Brake hose Type 11 Two examples of a wide range of customer and application- Continental’s hose Type 11, which went into series production in specific brake hoses 2012, is the consequent development of the Type 9 brake hose with the same material properties, but with design modifications for opti- mized functional characteristics. Thanks to design modifications, a hose diameter of 9 mm was realized. This allows for optimal installa- tion even where space in the wheel arch is tight. The brake hose Type 11 combines the excellent performance of Type 9 with a weight reduction, in order to meet the requirements of our customers on environmental compatibility and the considerate usage of resources.

Type 12 – high performance brake hose In series production since January 2013, the Type 12 is a subsequent evolution of the Type 11 brake hose, focusing on the improved volumetric expansion at an increased temperature. With the new Brake hose Type 11 braid material, a reduced volumetric expansion has been achieved at a maximum 1.5 cm3/m at 100 °C and 200 bar.

Molded Parts In addition to conventionally mounted components, Continental also produces hoses for which synthetic parts are applied by means of injection molding technology. This allows new design freedom in the geometry, in addition to further weight savings.

Passive Safety

Efficient, flexible, and affordably priced – control units on a modular basis: SPEED (Safety Platform for Efficient & Economical Design) The automotive markets around the world vary considerably. While vehicles for highly industrialized regions are equipped with a large number of airbags, the safety equipment in other parts of the world is often limited to the driver’s airbag.

With SPEED, we have therefore developed a control unit concept that is based on a modular structure and can be adjusted easily to the wishes of car manufacturers. Five product lines in total cover the typical development levels for control units: The scalable SPEED concept fits the requirements > SPEED XS serves as an airbag control unit providing basic functions of all vehicle classes and markets. > SPEED S, M, and L offer versions of a more comprehensive safety control unit with different levels of capability.

The Motion Information to X Provider (M2XPro) is an intelligent local- ization sensor which merges GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) information with the driving dynamics sensors (steering angle, inertial and wheel speed sensors) present in the vehicle and delivers a robust, extremely precise calculation of the vehicle’s current position. An integ- rity measurement supplies status information relating to the system state and data quality, information that is essential for the system’s self- monitoring functions. Communication between road users is conduct- ed via short-range radio over distances of 300–500 meters based on the ITS-G5 standard (in North America: Dedicated Short Range Com- munication IEEE 802.11p; in Europe: ETSI ITS-G5).

Driver Assistance Systems Emergency Brake Assist Help Save Lives The bulk of all rear-end collisions could be avoided – or at least their severity could be significantly reduced – through timely braking. The forward-looking emergency braking assistant responds by activating an automatic braking system as soon as the driver’s own vehicle comes within a dangerous distance of a preceding vehicle if the driver does not respond appropriately. As a result, it can considerably Forward-looking technologies provide drivers and passengers with reduce the stopping distance. additional safety, an increase in comfort and protection of the envi- ronment.

High beams are controlled to ensure that function displays the most important information in the driver’s field oncoming vehicles and those traveling ahead of the driver’s vehicle of vision at all times. The camera used for this recognizes speed limits, are not blinded, while at the same time providing optimum lighting areas where overtaking is prohibited, and no-entry signs. This allows of the road. This results in improved visibility in all driving situations, the driver to relax, and it even has the potential to prevent dangerous relieving strain on the driver and thereby enhancing safety. situations such as driving the wrong way in traffic. Benefits: Benefits: > Safe, relaxed driving through optimized lighting of the road > Safer and less stressful driving because the driver is always well informed Combined sensors for more complex driving situations > Easy way to avoid speeding In the future, combining sensors and other sources of information > Prevents driving the wrong way in traffic (such as the navigation system) will enable advanced driver assistance > Do not pass signs are displayed systems to support the driver in increasingly complex driving situa- tions, up to and including highly automated driving.
