DRIVEN BY SOUND
The project aims to deliver a robust, redundant sensing platform based on 3D ultrasound for autonomous driving and in driver-assist applications.
About the project
Optical and radar vehicle navigation systems often struggle in challenging environments. To address this, Calyo has developed Calyo Pulse™, an ultrasound-based sensor system that delivers reliable imaging performance when other technologies are impaired. Ultrasound can better handle adverse conditions like rain, fog, and dust, and is not affected by the reflectivity and transparency of objects compared to laser scanners and cameras.
The project aims to deliver a robust, redundant sensing platform based on 3D ultrasound for autonomous driving and in driver-assist applications.
DRIVEN BY SOUND leverages Calyo’s 3D ultrasound sensor technology, Benedex’s expertise in safety platforms, and Cranfield University’s experience in autonomous vehicle integration and testing. The resulting product will enhance safety in autonomous vehicles by providing a vital redundancy mechanism. Additionally, the technology is versatile, suitable for various vehicle platforms, including off-road industrial applications, making it adaptable to numerous industries.
