Ibeo Automotive Systems tests LiDAR systems for autonomous driving in Berlin and Beijing
The LiDAR sensor specialist from Hamburg Ibeo Automotive Systems GmbH gets underway with the validation of their real solid state ibeoNEXT sensors for China’s largest SUV manufacturer, Great Wall Motor (GWM). The aim is to reach series production for automated driving at L3 and potentially L4 levels, and to define standards which should make autonomous driving possible in the near future. Ibeo commissioned German-Chinese testing and validation provider LiangDao for series testing. The test tracks are located in Germany (Berlin) and China (Beijing). Ibeo itself has already been testing automated and networked driving on public roads since 2017, and is also working together with TÜV SÜD to improve the safety of components and systems used in autonomous vehicles.
Ibeo and SICK bring stimulus to the industrial sector with new 3D solid-state LiDAR sensor
A technology partnership between Hamburg-based automotive LiDAR specialist Ibeo Automotive Systems GmbH and SICK AG has resulted in a 3D solid-state LiDAR sensor for industrial applications. The technology, developed by Ibeo to automotive standards, is based on a new photon laser measurement technique and is entirely free of moving parts. An additional, camera-like reference image adds a “fourth dimension” to the measurement provided by the sensor.
Digital railways: Ibeo Automotive Systems equips Deutsche Bahn pilot project with LiDAR technology
To respond to a shift in transportation patterns and meet the German federal government’s climate targets, the Deutsche Bahn plans to increase its capacity and service frequency in the future. To do so, the Deutsche Bahn plans to use new technologies. One such is Ibeo’s newest Real-Solid-State LiDAR sensor ibeoNEXT. The Sensors4Rail cooperation project with the DB is testing sensor-based environmental sensing and train localization in Germany for the first time. In addition to Ibeo, other project partners like Bosch and Siemens are equipping an S-Bahn train in Hamburg with the latest technology. The first trial runs are planned for early 2021.
Available now: The ibeoNEXT
Ibeo has always been a pioneer. When Ibeo was founded in 1998, it was one of the first companies worldwide which started the development of LiDAR sensors for automotive applications. The next big milestone was to bring Ibeo’s LiDAR technology into automotive serial production.
With the new ibeoNEXT Solid State LiDAR, Ibeo expands its position as a technology leader in the field of LiDAR sensors. With its high resolution, wide detection range and vertical angle as well as mass production capabilitites, the development of this solid state LiDAR is a milestone on the way to fully autonomous driving.
