Sensors Expo & Conference 2020

Providing ancillary lighting techniques to ADAS and AV sensors can increase dynamic range therefore object detection and recognition. LiDAR, radar, and camera, sensors that are necessary for L2+ and AVs will require a housing location along with enhancements during periods of adverse weather. Technology such as gated cameras, a technology where pulsed light is synchronized with the sensor exposure time and by doing this the sensor is able to integrate a specific segment of reflected light. By taking into account the speed of light it can then determine the distance of the object in foggy or hazy conditions. Other technologies that provide enhanced visibility, such as Adaptive Driving Beam (ADB), a lighting technology that is always in high beam mode but selectively dims areas of oncoming and preceding traffic to low beam to reduce glare, will also help in the visibility of objects as night. Attendees of this session walk away with an understanding of how advanced exterior lighting and new technologies in lighting are being developed to assist L2+ and AVs.
