Traffic Signs Recognition

Some of the high end cars by Audi and Mercedes Benz use front facing cameras to identify road signs such as Speed limit or School Ahead or Turn Right/Left . The car can induct the speed limit right in the middle of the information cluster while combining the captured information from road signs with the data contained in the navigation systems. In cooperation by MobilEye and Continental AG, the first TSR systems which recognize speed limits were developed. It was then incorporated for the first time in the redesigned BMW 7 Series, followed by Mercedes Benz S Class in late 2008 which can detect the round speed limit signs all across Europe. The TSR also has an additional advantage of being able to support navigation systems with the detection of overhead LED based variable speed limit signs.
