Krakow-based Electronic Business Unit (EBU) of Varroc Lighting Systems, a global developer and manufacturer of external lighting systems and electronic control units for the automotive industry, has been awarded a Polish National Centre for Research and Development grant to help create a highly integrated monovision system for ADAS and advanced lighting functions using µLED technology. Passing such an extensive nomination and application process illustrates Varroc’s position as technological industry-leader.
Electronic Business Unit (EBU) was formed in Krakow in 2020 and is a core location for Varroc´s ADAS and Driver Monitoring systems research and development. A team of engineers will be tasked with the project, which aims to result in global car manufacturers from all over the world, including Europe, North America, China, and India, to adapt the safety systems of their vehicles due to increasing requirements for safety and security.
Within this project, Varroc will focus on creating scalable system architecture along with the development of protype algorithms for direct exterior light control coupled with ADAS functions to perform hardware level integration, software subsystem implementation and afterwards testing and verification in the next stage.
Project budget framework is set to 31 million PLN (6.8 million EUR) in total, with roughly 14 million PLN (3 million EUR) being co-financed by The National Centre for Research and Development grant.
Headquartered in Plymouth, Michigan, Varroc manufactures world-class lighting created through their leading-edge global manufacturing capabilities. Delivery of innovative exterior lighting is their mission. Some of their key technologies include: matrix lamps, Adaptive Driving Beam (ADB), LED lamps, organic light-emitting diodes or OLEDs and electronic control modules.
