Compal (Stock Ticker: 2324.TW), a leading Taiwanese electronics company and a tier-one automotive solution provider, is excited to share at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) on January 7-10th in Las Vegas, Nevada. Compal will demonstrate an innovative, patent protected, AI perception stack named OAD, which complies with NHTSA’s FMVSS No. 127 regulation and UN R152 AEB, to enhance vulnerable road user safety.
In April 2024, the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) finalized a new Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard that will make automatic emergency braking (AEB), including pedestrian AEB, standard on all passenger cars and light trucks by September 2029. This safety standard is expected to significantly reduce pedestrian crashes during day or night.
Compal has developed AI-based OAD (Object Detection, Action Prediction, Distance Estimation), perception algorithms that analyze video from visible and infrared cameras integrated in the vehicle to accurately identify vulnerable pedestrians and other objects in the path of the vehicle, even on the darkest nights.
Compal’s OAD AI perception stack is based on deep learning algorithms for object detection, combined with object tracking and action prediction to obtain object information. Currently, the algorithms can recognize object categories such as pedestrians, motorcycles, cars, bikes, trucks, and buses. The system enables ADAS functions, including Pedestrian Automatic Emergency Braking (P-AEB), to avoid a collision. Compal’s OAD perception stack supports ADAS features such as forward collision warning, Level 2 and 2.5 hands-free driving, Level 3 eyes-off hands-off driving, and Level 4 full-self-driving tasks.
Compal’s infrared camera portfolio, under development by the world’s leading infrared camera experts, addresses the needs for entry, mid and high-performance vehicle system requirements. These infrared cameras sense very small temperature variances to differentiate objects from their surroundings at extended ranges. The system can detect pedestrians, objects, vulnerable road users, and animals up to 300 meters ahead of the vehicle. Entry level systems is priced for standard fitment.
“Compal, a tier-1 automotive supplier, has developed a patent protected perception stack called OAD to support complex ADAS scenarios,” said Arthur Wang, senior vice president of Compal’s automotive business unit. OAD, coupled with our next generation of infrared camera solutions will comply with the new FMVSS regulation, especially at night, where other solutions fail to meet the standard.
Compal will demonstrate the power of OAD to comply with ADAS scenarios at CES in Las Vegas, Nevada, January 7-10, 2025. Press and OEMs may book a demonstration ride or set up a meeting with Compal at CES.
