Teledyne FLIR and VSI Labs Testing Shows How Thermal Imaging Helps Vehicle Makers Meet Nighttime AEB Federal Safety Standards<\/b><\/p>\n

A Fused-Thermal Imaging PAEB System Outperformed Existing State-of-the-Art AEB Systems During Tests of FMVSS No. 127 Requirements Coming in 2029<\/i><\/p>\n

GOLETA, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE<\/a>)–Teledyne FLIR OEM<\/a>, part of Teledyne Technologies Incorporated (NYSE: TDY), in collaboration with VSI Labs<\/a> today issued test results<\/a> utilizing the new Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 127<\/a> pedestrian automatic emergency braking (PAEB) testing scenarios. VSI Labs\u2019 research vehicle, which included the latest automatic emergency braking (AEB) thermal camera from Teledyne FLIR OEM, successfully passed all tests, while three new 2024 vehicles failed two or more nighttime test scenarios.<\/p>\n

\nFMVSS No. 127 mandates the inclusion of PAEB systems in all passenger cars and light trucks with a gross vehicle weight of 10,000 pounds or less by September 2029. The new regulation requires that PAEB systems must detect pedestrians in various lighting conditions and at increased vehicle speeds. This is especially critical as pedestrian fatalities in traffic crashes remain near all-time highs, particularly at night, when 77.7 percent of pedestrian fatalities<\/a> occurred in 2022.<\/p>\n

\nThe National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA)<\/a> demonstrated via testing last year that meeting FMVSS No. 127 requirements is achievable. The smallest and lightest vehicle of the five commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) vehicles the agency tested, the 2023 Toyota Corolla Hybrid XLE, passed all PAEB tests at the maximum required speed. The other four COTS vehicles that NHTSA tested failed one or more of the low headlight beam nighttime tests, suggesting that increased speed and vehicle weight combined with decreased visibility challenge existing AEB sensor suites.<\/p>\n

\nVSI Labs tested the performance of a thermal-fused PAEB system on a Ford Fusion Hybrid research vehicle and three current state-of-the-art 2024 COTS PAEB systems. The thermal-fused AEB sensor suite featured Teledyne FLIR\u2019s latest longwave infrared (LWIR) automotive thermal camera, an automotive HD radar, and an automotive visible camera. All three 2024 COTS vehicles use a combination of radar and\/or visible camera(s) and do not include a thermal camera. The test results revealed:<\/p>\n
