Safe and highly robust LiDAR technology

The focus of the new LiDAR technologies developed at the University of Kassel is on high reliability with free modifiability between high resolution and high scanning speed.

The high reliability and robustness is achieved through a redundant yet compact and cost-effective implementation, which is combined with an integrated continuous diagnostic function and intelligent signal processing. This makes the system ideal for use in safety-critical applications.

Thanks to a new implementation of the optical elements, it is possible to switch between high scanning speed or high resolution during operation. Furthermore, the platform can also be provided as a compact and cost-effective 3D multi-channel solution. An additional advantage  of this expansion module is its flexible applicability to alternative LiDAR systems.

• Safety-oriented architecture to achieve high SIL (according to ISO26262)
• Predictable system behavior
  • Determination of possible wear, contamination and ageing of the lidar measuring device
  • Information for adjustments and calibration by the diagnostic unit
• Application-specific modulation capability
• More reliable measurement thanks to permanent calibration
• Efficient retrofitting thanks to practical communication interface
• Reliable measurements thanks to lidar measuring devices

• Autonomous vehicles
