  2. Collision avoidance in transportation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collision_avoidance_in...

    The first step in collision avoidance is perception, which can use sensors like LiDAR, visual cameras, thermal or IR cameras, or solid-state devices. They are divided upon the part of the electromagnetic spectrum they use. There are two types of sensors, passive and active sensors. Examples of active sensors are LiDAR, Radar and Sonar. Examples ...

  3. Obstacle avoidance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obstacle_avoidance

    Obstacle avoidance, in robotics, is a critical aspect of autonomous navigation and control systems. It is the capability of a robot or an autonomous system/machine to detect and circumvent obstacles in its path to reach a predefined destination. This technology plays a pivotal role in various fields, including industrial automation, self ...

  4. Directional Infrared Counter Measures - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Directional_Infrared...

    The systems use an effective method of jamming infrared missile seekers through the sensor aperture and can be placed in either active or standby mode. In the standby mode, the aircrew must select the active mode to begin jamming infrared (IR) threats. The pulsing flashes of IR energy confuse the missile guidance system, preventing the tracking ...

  5. TIRTL - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TIRTL

    TIRTL receiver on a portable stand (the device is more commonly built into a curb) The Infra-Red Traffic Logger, more commonly known simply by the acronym TIRTL, is a multi-purpose traffic sensor that can be used as a traffic counter, speed sensor, red light camera sensor, heavy vehicle tracker, overheight vehicle sensor, rail crossing sensor and network management system. [1]

  6. Automated guided vehicle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automated_guided_vehicle

    Forward sensing control uses collision avoidance sensors to avoid collisions with other AGV in the area. These sensors include: sonic, which work like radar; optical, which uses an infrared sensor; and bumper, physical contact sensor. Most AGV's are equipped with a bumper sensor of some sort as a fail-safe.

  7. Advanced driver-assistance system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_driver-assistance...

    Currently, these systems use infrared sensors and cameras to monitor the driver's attentiveness through eye-tracking. [18] If the vehicle detects a possible obstacle, it will notify the driver and if no action is taken, the vehicle may react to the obstacle.

  8. Infrared search and track - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infrared_search_and_track

    An IRST sensor on a Sukhoi Su-35. An Infrared Search and Track (IRST) system (sometimes known as infrared sighting and tracking) is a method for detecting and tracking objects which give off infrared radiation, such as the infrared signatures of jet aircraft and helicopters.

  9. Parking sensor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parking_sensor

    The electromagnetic parking sensor (EPS) was re-invented and patented in 1992 by Mauro Del Signore. [2] Electromagnetic sensors rely on the vehicle moving slowly and smoothly towards the object to be avoided. Once an obstacle is detected, the sensor continues to signal the presence of the obstacle even if the vehicle momentarily stops.
