Material Solutions for Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) and Autonomous Driving Sensors
Sensors play a key role in advanced driver assistance systems and autonomous vehicles. They act as the eyes and ears of a vehicle and have quickly become indispensable components in ADAS and autonomous driving vehicles.
High-definition cameras allow the vehicle to see street signs and pedestrians at long distances.
Radar: Reliable Anytime
Radar allows vehicles to see and measure the position and velocity of an object in comparison to the vehicle.
Ultrasonic Sensor: Sound Waves for Close
Ranges Ultrasonic sensors gauge the distance between close range objects and the vehicle using high frequency sound waves to reliably obtain a full picture of the vehicle’s immediate surroundings.
LiDAR: 3D Vision in All Directions
LiDAR provides a 360 degree field of 3D vision by measuring the distance of various objects from the vehicle in all directions.
Far Infrared: Heat-Sensing Technology
Far Infrared (FIR) cameras use heat-sensing technology to detect people, animals, and other objects that radiate heat in any environmental conditions.
Elastomeric Materials
PROSTECH corporates with our large supplier network to provide a comprehensive portfolio of material solutions that solve sensor sealing and vibration design challenges. Polyurethane and Silicone materials offer great compression set resistance, ensuring a tight seal is maintained throughout the life of the vehicle.
In addition, Silicones exhibit excellent sealing performance providing resistance to UV, ozone, and extreme temperatures. Polyurethanes deliver reliable vibration dampening for sensor units as well as noise reduction.
Both material solution families are available in a variety of densities and thicknesses that offer the right amount of push-back force, ensuring the reliability of sensor housing assemblies.
