Sensor & Processor Technology for Autonomous Vehicles and Automated Driving Systems

Article

Autonomous vehicles and autonomous driving have the potential to fundamentally change the transportation industry. Some of the immediate benefits include an increase in the overall safety of vehicles, more mobility for many different population segments like the elderly, and more efficient roadways with less traffic. Beyond safety and increased efficiency, the industry will ultimately have tremendous financial implications as well.

Beyond the ultimate goal of a fully autonomous vehicle, simply by developing and working toward that technology, the components that make up Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) improve. The movement towards autonomous vehicles is best viewed as incremental steps, rather than one or two giant leaps.

Next Generation Airborne Collision Avoidance Systems for Crewed and Uncrewed Aircraft

Article

Airborne collision avoidance systems (ACAS) are a crucial component of modern aviation. The Convention on International Civil Aviation, one of the founding documents of the United Nations, established the international rules of airspace, aircraft registration, and the safety and security of aircraft. Within these rules is a mandate requiring all aircraft – both manned and unmanned – to use ACAS and/or other types of detect and avoid technology.

Generally, ACAS systems enhance the situational awareness of pilots by actively monitoring the airspace around an aircraft, assessing potential collision threats, and providing guidance to avoid those threats.

Supporting Vision Systems for Virtual Testing

Case Study

Sealevel partners with a leading provider of embedded computing solutions for Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS). The customer provides technology systems specifically for testing in virtual environments. Common feature testing includes automatic emergency braking, collision warnings, lane departure warnings, blind spot warning, and adaptive cruise control. As the United States and European Union now require ADAS technology on all new cars, the customer’s product needs have increased dramatically.

Reliable Performance & Response Time for Gunshot Detection

Case Study

Shooter Detection Systems has decades of experience in the development and delivery of gunshot detection technology. As a result, their certified gunshot detection systems are being used in schools, public venues, government facilities and international companies. Shooter Detection Systems’s primary product is the the Guardian Indoor Active Shooter Detection System. The device detects gunshots and alerts authorities immediately, providing key data including specific room location.
