Project title: RADAR SYSTEM FOR REAR END COLLISION PREVENTION
Company name : CALSYS LTD. - Collision Alert System
Alert System
TECHNOLOGICAL FIELD
Safety Equipment, Traffic, RADAR
engineering
KEY WORDS
76.5GHz RADAR, Collision
Avoidance Systems, Warning systems, RADAR Rear Avoidance System
PROJECT SUMMARY
Rear end collisions constitute a significant contributor to the
increasing number of road accidents. They occur due to driver's
unawareness and to lack of safe distance information.
CALSYS is a low-cost, robust collision avoidance system designed
specifically to solve this problem. The system is non-interactive
and autonomous, requiring no driver in-course intervention. It
serves as a defensive system, in line with defensive driving
philosophy i.e. it is installed in vehicles that desire
protection. The alert essentially explores the trailing vehicle
driver's instinctive behavior providing him or her with a
sufficient time margin to react with little or no susceptibility
to a panic reaction.
ADVANTAGES
* Utilizes Millimeter Wave radar technology
* Rear end mounting, easy installation, no calibration required
* Light weight "cigarette pack" with a flat highly directional
antenna
* Alert based upon measurement of closing distance and speed
* Inherently low false alarm rate
* Operation under poor visibility conditions
* Rear end installation reduces detector exposure to particle
impact
* Alarm activated also when driving in reverse
* Growth potential to provide audio alert and integrate into
smart highway
* Low cost
* Data logging for police / insurance purposes.
PROJECT STATUS
The project is at the end of its second year of the incubator
period. Prototype development stage. USA PAT. No 5684474. The
company is cooperating with a leading international strategic
partner.
