Safety Sensing
Make the Road Safer with Our Glass Solutions for Sensors
With the emergence of autonomous vehicles, cars are being equipped with sensors designed to enhance our safety.
The new trend for integrating them is moving towards higher positions, which is why AGC will showcase two exclusive solutions for LiDAR integration : a unique concept of integrating a LiDAR into an all-in-glass roof, and an appealing design for windshield sensor integration.
In addition, AGC will showcase "FIR camera-compatible windshield" that enables the integrated mounting of both a visible camera and a FIR camera (Thermal sensing camera) on the inside of the windshield.
Wideye® Panoramic All-in-glass Roof for Seamless LiDAR Integration
Imagine a Sleek LiDAR Integration in a Glass Roof
Wideye® Panoramic All-in-glass Roof is a unique roof. Panoramic and all-in-glass, with smooth and rounded curves, it allows for efficient, reliable and discreet integration of a LiDAR.
It responds to the current trend for top-mounted sensors to enhance road safety.
Wideye® All-in-glass Roof will give OEM design teams a new perception, paving the way to improve LiDAR roof integration and solve its numerous challenges.
Wideye® Glass Solution for LiDAR Integration behind Windshield
LiDAR Integration in the Windshield Comes to Reality
Seen as the future of LiDAR integration, until recently the windshield remained a challenging place to mount sensors.
Wideye® unveils its in-cabin sensor integration, which is featuring a high Field of View LiDAR co-integrated with multiple cameras behind the windshield. The design is appealing, coping with latest integration requirements in terms of form factor, performance and reliability.
Wideye® Glass Solutions for 360° Sensor Integration
Wideye® Glass Solutions for 360° Sensor Integration
Wideye® has developed glass solutions for 360° sensor integration based on groundbreaking infrared-transparent glass featuring superior optical quality.
Our glass solutions can serve every place where a sensor can be installed: as vision glazing (windshield or backlite), as glass trims (roof, B-Pillar or fender), and as glass to cover independent sensor modules (various positions around the car).
FIR Sensor-enabled Windshield
Integration of FIR Cameras into Windshields Comes to Reality
Far infrared ray (FIR) does not pass through ordinary glass; therefore, until now, it has not been possible to install FIR cameras (Thermal sensing camera) inside vehicle cabins, and they had to be mounted on the front grille.
AGC’s "FIR Sensor-enabled Windshield" enables the installation of FIR cameras inside the cabin by attaching a far infrared-transmissive material to the windshield.
This solution allows for stable acquisition of highly reliable images by removing dirt and raindrops through wiper cleaning and putting the FIR-camera at a higher installation position.
