UNECE regulation UN R157 Amendment 4 defines a strict set of criteria for cars [category M (passenger cars) and N (trucks)], governing how Automated Line Keeping Systems (ALKS) should work. This is essential for real SAE level 3 autonomous (conditional driving). AKLS can operate in conditions that allow for Gated Vision “Lost Cargo” solution for ALKS driven cars “passible object” to be detected in any inclement weather and any day/night conditions.  The maximum speed at which AV (SAE level 3) can travel is limited by the maximum range of detection of small obstacles referred as “lost cargo”, typically debris of 12 cm height or more. PTW (Powered Two-Wheeler Target)/Motorcyclist 30 cm (about 11.81 in) height etc. are also included in the “small objects” requirement. For a designed speed of 130 km/h, the lost cargo must be detected at approximately 150 m (about 492.13 ft) distance. If 100 m (about 328.08 ft) is to be achieved, the maximum permissible speed drops to 80 km/h.  Currently, there is no serial production sensor installed in the vehicle with which this problem can be solved.  According to a leading EU OEM, there is no system capable of detecting 15cm at 150 meter which requires 0.5mrad resolution (0.025deg) to allow at least two measurements on the target. As of today, the OEM claims, there are no potential sensors beside Gated Imaging at the price acceptable by the market. In addition, as was shown in AI-SEE and DENSE projects there are no Electrooptical solutions that will provide adequate performance during inclement weather conditions.  Bright Way Vision’s Gated Vision can provide solutions for lost cargo issues under any ambient light and weather conditions. 

When can jogging kill you? When you run on a dark road and vehicles can't see you. In the image below, we see what a standard HD camera sees, easily missing the joggers on the right. Bright Way Vision's GatedVision camera clearly shows every single one of them, and the entire road ahead. #automotive #autonomousvehicles #AVs #adas #sensors #nightvision #sensortechnology #gatedvision #gatedimaging #lidar #radar #thermal #camera #vehicletech #roadsafety

With many camera solutions, as the illumination is increased, the image becomes less clear. We avoid this issue by using regular reflective objects to spread and return the light we put out. The reflectors act as an extra layer of information on top of our own, acting as new data that adds thoroughness at the cost of very little computational energy, as it utilizes information that's already there. Below is a daytime image from the GatedVision camera. The bottom image shows the retro-reflectors - lights, traffic signs, etc., providing additional data of the scene. #gatedvision #automotive #sensors #vehicles #vehiclesafety #mobility #nightvision

The premise that darkness is the most hazardous time to drive has been confirmed many times by many studies. But many of the solutions currently on the market, including radar, LiDAR, and regular cameras, can’t provide a clear enough image to guarantee safety, particularly in low lighting. GatedVision is the only solution capable of addressing all the challenges of low lighting and ensuring driver and pedestrian safety under all lighting and weather conditions. Want to learn more?
