| PIMS (Pedestrian Injury Mitigation System) |
 |
| |
| More than 12 000 pedestrians and cyclists are killed and almost 300 000 are seriously injured in the EU every year. A Pre-crash detecting system based on an infrared camera and vision analysis will detect a pedestrian at a distance of up to 10 m and activate protective functions or actions in the car thereby reducing the risk for the pedestrian to be killed or seriously injured. The PIMS project will use a new approach to make uncooled infrared imaging detector arrays in standard MEMS foundries. The technology has been invented and verified in a cooperative project by academic partners. The project aims at miniature vacuum package using a wafer level manufacturing process and integration of a miniature camera lens, both essential for a high volume, low cost sensing system. Together, the sensor concepts have the potential to reduce the manufacturing cost of an infrared camera system by an order of magnitude in large volume production compared to presently available products |

 |
| |
| The PIMS-project is a EURIMUS Call 4 project conducted together with five leading European companies and institutes. |
| |
 |
| |
| The circle of life is completed with implementation and validation in new car models, a time and resource consuming work performed by the Development and Engineering organization and not described here before the result of the work can be seen in increased safety in Real Life Traffic. |
