LeddarTech launches automotive grade Lidars for ADAS

LeddarTech’s detection and ranging technology can be integrated into standard automotive components such as headlamps, rear lamps or side view mirrors, to enable optimised advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) sensing solutions. The company’s optical detection technology can be incorporated into integrated circuits and uses semiconductor light sources such as infrared emitters and pulsed laser diodes. With a range of 150m and above, multi-segment detection and a field of view from 9° to 180°, Leddar sa

84 LeddarTech’s detection and ranging technology can be integrated into standard automotive components such as headlamps, rear lamps or side view mirrors, to enable optimised advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) sensing solutions. The company’s optical detection technology can be incorporated into integrated circuits and uses semiconductor light sources such as infrared emitters and pulsed laser diodes.

With a range of 150m and above, multi-segment detection and a field of view from 9° to 180°, Leddar says its technology overcomes many limitations of traditional fixed-beam Lidars.

    To help achieve the Swedish Transportation Agency’s ‘Nollvisionen’ (zero traffic-related fatalities) and the EU’s traffic safety goal for 2020, Swedish companies Denso, Qamcom, Amparo Solutions and Acreo Swedish ICT are jointly developing the next generation of radar sensors for improved traffic safety. The 79 GHz UWB Imaging Radar Sensor project claims the market for automotive radar sensors for ADAS is growing rapidly every year, but today’s systems that utilise the 24 GHz and 77GHz bands have clear ba

    Belarus’ national road safety authority Safe Roads of Belarus has awarded Vitronic Nordic East a contract for 60 PoliScan laser-based speed enforcement units. The PoliScan systems use Lidar (light detection and ranging) technology, which works with an invisible infrared laser. According to Vitronic, the readings obtained are more reliable and fairer to drivers than those from conventional radar systems, while the maintenance costs for PoliScan systems are lower than those for conventional loop technolo

    Colin Sowman looks at some enforcement case studies from around the world. It is a sad fact of life that unenforced laws are not adhered to by a sometimes sizable proportion of the public and once enforcement is seen to be lacking, some drivers can take this to extremes and authorities must decide how to regain control.
