The LVF-E is a complete front-view fusion and perception solution targeting entry-level Level 2/2+ ADAS applications for highway driving assistance and meeting 5-star NCAP 2025 and GSR 2022 safety requirements. LeddarTech’s low-level fusion expertise pushes the boundaries of technological progress by doubling the effective sensor range and enabling, for the first time, a solution with only a single, 120-degree front-facing camera and two short-range front-corner radars in a 1V2R configuration. The accessibility of the detection method used and the judicious use of Texas Instruments’ TDA4VM-Q1 processor enable the lowest costs for an entry-level Level 2/2+ ADAS system.
Supporting an expanded 1V5R sensor configuration with a single 120-degree camera, a single mid-range forward radar and four short-range corner radars, the LVF-H solution extends perception to highway driving assistance applications, including adaptive cruise control up to 160 km/h, a detection range of up to 200 meters and semi-automated lane changing. The system also enhances the NCAP 2025 safety rating by covering overtaking, reversing and door opening scenarios. In addition, lower-cost sensor combinations can be used by leveraging the TDA4L platform, cost-effectively meeting the requirements of high-end Level 2/2+ ADAS applications.
The newly launched LVS-2+ is a complete surround view perception and fusion software solution that supports advanced Level 2/2+ ADAS applications for Highway Driving Assist and 5-Star NCAP 2025 and GSR 2022 safety. Built on LeddarVision’s architecture, the LVS-2+ effectively extends the 1VxR sensor configuration of the LVF front-view product family to a 5V5R configuration by enhancing support for Traffic Jam Assist (TJA) and Highway Driving Assist (HWA), and enabling automated lane changing, overtaking, and Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) over a wider speed range.
LVP-H is a comprehensive fusion and perception software solution that supports advanced Level 2/2+ ADAS automated parking and parking assist applications, including Intelligent Parking Assist (IPA), Remote Parking Assist (RPA), and Maneuver Assist (MA). LVP-H increases the probability of valid parking detection to over 95% with low false detection rates in ODD and challenging environments, and enables superior detection of dynamic and static objects for increased safety, including support for NHTSA’s advanced safety scenarios for Intelligent Parking Assist.
LeddarVision is a high-performance, sensor-independent automotive solution that provides highly accurate 3D environmental models. This scalable software supports all SAE classification autonomy levels by applying artificial intelligence and computer vision algorithms to fuse raw sensor data used in Level 2 to 5 applications.
In December 2022, Ficosa and LeddarTech announced the signing of a development and commercialization agreement for the development of an automated smart parking assistant. This 8-minute video featuring Ficosa and LeddarTech sheds light on this agreement.
This industry overview explains the growing role of ADAS in NCAP programs. It provides a summary view of the scenarios, conditions and environments in which testing is conducted and provides insight into the role perception systems must play to ensure automakers stay ahead of NCAP requirements.
