Project description
Road safety with next-generation lidar technology
Ensuring safety in autonomous driving requires precise distance measurement, which is challenging with current sensors. Traditional lidar systems often struggle with accuracy and resolution, making it difficult to detect small objects at high speeds. This can lead to hazards on the road. To address these issues, Hybrid Lidar Systems has developed LiSSA 3D Lidar. Specifically, LiSSA 3D combines Time-of-Flight (ToF) and Photonic Vision (PV) technologies to deliver high-resolution and accurate distance measurements. With double VGA resolution and accuracy of less than 1 cm at 200 m, it improves object detection and classification. Its multi-spectral approach covers multiple areas at once. Funded by the EIC, LiSSA 3D aims to upgrade road safety by equipping vehicles with advanced lidar technology.
Objective
Hybrid Lidar Systems has invented a patented hybrid technology (ToF + PV) for determining distances with light, which has enabled us to develop LiSSA 3D Lidar, the next generation of 3D Solid State Flash LiDAR sensors for
enhanced driving safety. LiSSA (Lidar for Smart Sensing and Automotive) represents a revolutionary LIDAR approach, which not only provides a high resolution (double VGA) but also guarantees a very good accuracy level (<1cm for a 200m range). Furthermore, LiSSA 3D applies a multi-spectral
approach to cover more than one area at a time, which allows for a better object classification. LiSSA 3D will be of great importance for autonomous driving, enabling the detection of small objects at long distances at the usual speed. The goal of this project is to equip every moving object in
road traffic with our LiDAR sensor technology so as to raise traffic to a new level of security. LiSSA 3D has a low computational effort, enabling the innovation to be offered at a low cost.
