With its latest model, the ALASCA XT, Ibeo Automobile Sensor has accomplished a technological breakthrough in the field of laser scanners. It was achieved by combining three pioneering developments in a brand-new optical measuring concept:

The first revolution – twice the laser output:
The Ibeo research team has succeeded in increasing the performance of the ALASCA laser scanner so efficiently that it now offers ample reserve power. The range has been increased to more than 200 m and remains constant and reliable even in harsh weather. Among the many benefits of this greater range is the ability to detect objects and issue warnings earlier. This allows all of the scanner’s applications to run more easily across the vehicle’s full speed range (e.g. high-speed ACC). As you would expect, the ALASCA XT remains absolutely safe to the eyes.


The second revolution – four-echo technology:
At the same time Ibeo developed a method for optimizing object detection. With the number of echoes per plane increased from two to four, the ALASCA XT disposes of an impressive sixteen echoes per measurement. The result is absolutely resilient and reliable object detection. The scanner not only precisely analyzes relevant object data, but also recognizes irrelevant data, typically arising from a dirty cover, fog, snow or heavy rain. These artefacts are removed by filtering, so that flawless operation is ensured.


The third revolution – flexible angular resolution:
The ALASCA XT is available with three different angular resolutions. This makes very good sense because the ideal angular resolution within the scan area depends on the application. For ACC (automatic cruise control), for example, the angular resolution in the direction of travel can be increased to as much as 1/10°, so that distant objects can be reliably detected. For less critical applications, the resolution can be decreased. Close-proximity applications (such as pedestrian protection) demand a consistently high angular resolution across the entire scan area. Ibeo responds to your individual needs by implementing the desired setting upon purchase.
