European Funded Research

20.05.2008 i-Trans Forum10

Research Projects - Benefit for Ibeo

• Example: Chameleon (FP5)� Definition of PreCrash Sensors

� Research at the early beginning

� Sensor requirements defined by OEMs

� Sensor tests even with „big“ sensor possible

• Major outcome for Ibeo

� Ibeo learned a lot from Chameleon

� Results of the project had major influence on sensor development

� Today's achievement: - New excellent product (Ibeo LUX)

- Technology and marked leadership

Multi Echo Technology: Measurement of up to 4 echos per layer/shot

Weather Performance

Even very bad weather conditions don’t disturb the sensor in its performance.

• Robust for rain, snow fall, sun, spray, …

• Ongoing work to extend it to fog and heavy dirt on the front window
