What is ibeo.HAD?

ibeo.HAD is a combination of LIDAR sensor systems and the corresponding algorithms for the development of customer-specific ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) and HAD (Highly Automated Driving) applications. The ibeo.HAD LIDAR technology delivers a detailed and reliable high-level description even in complex traffic environments to fulfill the needs of car manufacturers, automotive suppliers and research institutes.

ibeo.HAD delivers tracked and classified object data online onboard a vehicle in real time.

It can be used as a basis

for automated/emergency braking systems

for collision warning systems

for adaptive cruise control (ACC)

for other active safety systems

for comfort systems

to conduct studies about driving behavior.

The Need

Highly Automated Driving applications need a high-level description of the vehicle’s surroundings. LIDAR sensors offer such a description due to their high angular resolution and wide field of view in the mid-range up to 300 meters. Camera and radar systems are already in mass production and are widely used for ADAS systems. However, they lack in accuracy and robustness, especially in difficult environmental conditions. Current trends in the market point the direction towards a fusion of various sensor technologies to achieve redundancies and eliminate the weaknesses of each individual technology.

The ibeo.HAD Solution

Ibeo’s HAD products combine cutting edge sensor technology with innovative software algorithms for object detection and tracking. A fusion system of multiple sensors allows a 360° perception around the equipped vehicle creating a real-time description of the local traffic environment. Ibeo’s sensor systems provide a high-level and abstract, yet detailed representation of the local traffic environment.

Information about other road users includes:

accurate object position and orientation

object classification

object size and shape

uncertainties for all measurements’ existence probabilities

object motion including accelerations and turn rates

object probabilities

Ibeo’s perception systems are robust to environmental disturbances, e.g. bad weather or multi-path issues. Convenient interfaces make it easy to integrate Ibeo’s sensor systems into existing systems and tool chains and fuse the data with other sources of information in real-time.

The ibeo.HAD Technology

Ibeo’s state-of-the-art perception systems based on LIDAR sensor technology robustly sense the surrounding road users and the static road infrastructure.

The provided enviromental model benefits from the fine resolution and precise measurements of the sensors. Accurate time synchronisation via GPS or NTP allows for the fusion of multiple sensors, external systems and other devices. Innovative algorithms for signal processing as well as object detection and tracking provide a robust and reliable representation of the local traffic environment with a high level of detail.

Future software products for environmental perception include occupancy grid-based representation of the static environment, improved ego-motion estimation, map-based self localization, lane tracking and ground mapping. Additional sub-functions for Highly Automated Driving (HAD) will also be available, including modules for situation and risk assessment, traffic situation prediction and motion planning algorithms.
