Raytron is a high-tech enterprise specializing in infrared technology. With nearly half of their employees in R&D, Raytron has filed nearly 2,100 patents. Their infrared thermal sensing and imaging technology effectively provides superior visibility in challenging conditions.
Integrating Raytron’s infrared thermal sensors—such as their Horus 640-B automotive LWIR thermal imaging module—with radar and lidar allows automakers to provide vehicles with a comprehensive, high-performance, safely redundant vision system. Automakers including BYD, Geely, Dayun, and Shaanxi Automobile have built Raytron’s solutions into their cars.
DVN comment
Raytron’s cameras can be effective for pedestrian detection when low beams are insufficient (which is often the case, just by the intrinsic nature of low beams). FMVSS 127 mandates that by 2029, all new passenger vehicles and trucks in the US must have AEB (automatic emergency braking) and FCW (forward collision warning), functional between 10 and 145 km/h (6 to 90 mph), must prevent collisions with stationary objects at up to 100 km/h (62 mph), and must detect pedestrians in both daylight and darkness.
