"Acoustic Eye" Sensor Project
FY 2019-20 · 2019-11-25
Summary
The advancement being sought is development of a modular unit that, through acoustic beamforming, advances safety by detecting people when they are around vehicles--such as a fire engine, for example--even in harsh conditions. The use of acoustics provides robustness against reduced visibility conditions. To be attractive as an add-on facility to vehicles, the sensor will be incorporated in a modified headlight unit that can be readily retro-fitted.

Description (French)
Le progrès recherché est la mise au point d'une unité modulaire qui, grâce à la formation de faisceaux acoustiques, fait progresser la sécurité en détectant les personnes lorsqu'elles se trouvent à proximité de véhicules - comme un camion de pompiers, par exemple - même dans des conditions difficiles. L'utilisation de l'acoustique assure la robustesse dans des conditions de visibilité réduite. Pour être attrayant en tant qu'équipement supplémentaire pour les véhicules, le capteur sera incorporé dans un phare modifié qui peut être facilement réajusté.
