Project Arrow is led by the Automotive Parts Manufacturers’ Association (APMA). It is supported by its project partners and funded by the federal government of Canada and the provincial governments of Ontario and Quebec.
APMA relies on LeddarTech’s decades of experience in the ADAS and AD domain and their expertise in software and sensor architecture to support and develop the ADAS features of Project Arrow. LeddarTech also procured the various sensors for Project Arrow. In addition to being a subject-matter expert, LeddarTech supports the project with LeddarVision, a low-level sensor fusion and perception software that combines the data from the vehicle’s different sensors, such as cameras, radar, and lidar. Once fused, the software develops a 3D RGBD environmental model. Due to their low-level fusion technology, the LeddarTech solution enables the ADAS applications on Project Arrow to perform better with greater accuracy and reliability.
LVF-E is a comprehensive front-view fusion and perception stack for entry-level ADAS L2/L2+ highway assist and 5-star NCAP 2025/GSR 2022. LeddarTech’s AI based low-level fusion (LLF) technology pushes the performance envelope, doubling the effective range of the sensors and enabling, for the first time, a solution with only a single 1 to 2-megapixel 120-degree front camera and two short-range front corner radars in a 1V2R configuration. Low-cost sensing, together with efficient implementation on Texas Instruments’ TDA4VM-Q1 processor, achieves the lowest system cost for L2/L2+ entry-level ADAS. Production samples now available!
The newly launched LVS-2+ is a comprehensive fusion and perception software stack supporting premium surround-view L2/L2+ ADAS highway assistance and 5-star NCAP 2025/GSR 2022 safety applications. LeddarVision™ AI based low-level fusion (LLF) and perception technology enables implementation of entry-level to premium ADAS utilizing a single architectural approach, efficiently scaling computational power with sensor additions and reducing rework efforts with sensor changes. Based on LeddarVision architecture, LVS-2+ efficiently extends the LVF front-view product family 1VxR sensor configuration to a 5V5R configuration, enhancing support to TJA and HWA applications, enabling automated lane changes, overtaking and extended speed range adaptive cruise control (ACC).
