4activeHT
Temperature controlled ADAS Targets for testing FAR IR-systems
Far-IR cameras are used in vehicle systems to produce thermal images of objects on the road. This enhances visibility at night and in poor visibility conditions by detecting pedestrians, animals, and other potential hazards. 4activeHT represents realistic dummies for testing passive IR-systems like night vision. The technology provide an optimal heat transfer to the outer surface of the target and different heating zones (e.g. face, arms, hands, torso and legs) ensure a natural infrared image. The heated Version is available for 4activePS, 4activePS-child, 4activePA, 4activePA-child and 4activeAN. The dummies are applicable as a static or moving object.
Night Vision Systems in the automotive industry are designed to enhance visibility and safety during nighttime driving. These systems use infrared technology to detect thermal signals from objects on the road and display a visible image on a screen inside the vehicle.
Key points about Night Vision Systems:
- How they work: The systems use infrared cameras to capture heat signals, converting them into an image on the cockpit screen.
- Safety: Night Vision Systems help drivers detect obstacles and dangers in poor visibility conditions.
- Integration: These systems can integrate with vehicle components like the Head-Up Display (HUD), projecting the image onto the windshield.
- Market: The market for automotive Night Vision Systems is growing, driven by demand for luxury vehicles and advanced safety systems.
Examples of vehicles that are equipped with Night Vision Systems:
- Audi A8: Audi offers the Night Vision Assistant system, which uses a thermographic camera to enhance nighttime visibility.
- BMW: BMW includes Night Vision Systems in some of their models, often in conjunction with the Head-Up Display (HUD).
- Mercedes-Benz: Mercedes-Benz offers the Night View Assist system, which uses infrared projectors to illuminate the road ahead.
- Cadillac: Cadillac was among the first manufacturers to introduce Night Vision Systems, starting with the 2000 Cadillac DeVille.
- Veoneer: Veoneer developed the ADAS using thermal sensors, featured in vehicles like the Cadillac Escalade.
These systems are usually optional features and offer significant safety benefits by detecting obstacles and potential hazards more effectively. Typical key suppliers that provide Night Vision Systems for vehicles are:
- Bosch: A leading supplier of automotive components, Bosch offers advanced Night Vision Systems that enhance driver visibility at night.
- Continental AG: This German company offers Night Vision Systems detecting pedestrians and animals in low-light, enhancing safety.
- Denso: A global supplier of automotive technology, Denso provides Night Vision Systems that integrate seamlessly with other safety features.
- FLIR Systems: Known for its thermal imaging technology, FLIR offers Night Vision Systems that help drivers see in complete darkness.
- Autoliv: Now part of Veoneer, Autoliv offers Night Vision Systems used in luxury vehicles, providing enhanced obstacle detection at night.
Night Vision Systems are an example of how technology contributes to improving road safety.
