Valeo Raytheon Selected as supplier for department of transportation study. |
Valeo Raytheon has been selected by Virginia Tech Transportation Institute as the supplier of automotive radar proximity sensors for a DOT study on driver behavior during lane change maneuvers.
"Valeo Raytheon was selected because no one in the industry today can deliver the broad area of coverage and angular resolution that we found with VRS."
This allows unprecedented discrimination of an object's distance, direction and speed of travel.

| Radar Sensors Alert You to Vehicles You Can't See |
 |
Valeo Raytheon Systems provide an automotive version of military and commercial grade radar imaging sensors that sweep the adjacent lanes of traffic on both sides of your vehicle. When a vehicle enters your blind-spot from behind or merges into the blind-spot from the side, the system lights a special icon symbol located in the side rear-view mirrors to alert you. Drivers find that the system is a natural, easy to use, tool that gives you the assurance that you will be driving safely, comfortably and secure.

Blind-spot accidents are a major driving hazard.
Lane Change Accidents are caused by blind-spots created by vehicle architecture, mirror resolution and drivers physical capability to accurately assess a vehicle's presence, closing rate of speed and distance. Drivers changing lanes unaware of adjacent vehicles are the source of millions of near collisions every day. They are also the source of 826,000 damaged vehicles, 160,000 injured people and hundreds of deaths in North America alone. Statistics are similar for Europe, Asia, Latin America and Australia. Worldwide, side-crashes and near-side crashes are significant source of driving anxiety. These accidents cost drivers around the world more than $100 million , leading to millions in directly related costs. More than 80 Years of traffic delay time. Near collisions result in anxiety, driving tension, road-rage and rear-end collisions.
