Grants and Contributions:
Title:
"Acoustic Eye" Sensor Project
Agreement Number:
939743
Agreement Value:
$20,000.00
Agreement Date:
Nov 25, 2019 - Mar 27, 2020
Description:
The advancement being sought is development of a modular unit that, through acoustic beamforming, advances safety by detecting people when they are around vehicles--such as a fire engine, for example--even in harsh conditions. The use of acoustics provides robustness against reduced visibility conditions. To be attractive as an add-on facility to vehicles, the sensor will be incorporated in a modified headlight unit that can be readily retro-fitted.
