Leddar Pixell

Specifically designed for ADAS and autonomous vehicle driving applications. Uses include large vehicles for construction, mining and public transport; autonomous vehicles such as shuttles, robotaxis, delivery vehicles and large commercial vehicles. To enable object detection and tracking of other vehicles, obstacles, Vulnerable Road Users (VRU) such as pedestrians and cyclists, to avoid collisions.

The advantage of this solid state 3D flash LiDAR sensor, which has no moving parts or cooling fan, is that it does not have the limitations of mechanical LiDAR sensors which generate blindspot areas that can reach several metres. With its’ wide 180° Field of View the Leddar Pixell provides complete coverage of the area being scanned without any blind spots. The solid state design provides superior durability, is vibration and shock resistant even in harsh conditions, and has a high Mean Time Before Failure (MTBF).

Superior robustness and reliability

Robust and reliable. Optimised for use in perception platforms to enhance the detection capabilities of Vulnerable Road Users. Four Pixell sensors mounted on a vehicle would provide full 360° coverage. Extensive testing has shown extremely high MTBF, shock resistance and lack of dust ingress making it ideal for public transport, construction and mining applications.

Powered by the LCA2 LeddarEngine, the data provided by the Leddar Pixell allows for object tracking and identification of possible collisions based on object position, velocity and directionality, without overwhelming the vehicle’s CPU with massive amounts of unnecessary data.

The Leddar Pixell is CE marked to provide assurance that it meets required European legislation.
