Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) demand new levels of performance and reliability from optical sensors, particularly where autonomous functionality is desired. These systems must maintain the ability to recognise critical situations whatever the driving conditions, and remain unaffected by stray light that could even momentarily blind sensors with potentially devastating consequences.

Vantablack VBx2.3 is an economical,  nanomaterial free, ultra-low fogging black paint that minimises or eliminates the effects of stray light in ADAS applications such as camera shielding and Head-Up-Displays. VBx2.3’s design ensures performance is maintained even under the most demanding conditions. VBx2.3’s advanced, nanomaterial-free formulation ensures cost-effective coating using industry-standard spray equipment.

Cameras

In modern vehicles, cameras have taken over functions such as distance metering and maintenance, object recognition, lane-departure warning and traffic sign recognition amongst many others. These optical systems are frequently subjected to unfavourable lighting conditions, resulting in unwanted stray-light. This stray light degrades system performance, causing veiling, glare and artefacts that are familiar to many photographers. The trend towards wider field of view cameras for enhanced functionality further increases the challenge posed by stray-light and demands the use of superior stray-light management technologies (SLMT)™ to ensure captured images reflect reality. Vantablack VBx2.3 applied to camera glare shields minimises or eliminates these stray-light effects, ensuring the optical system remains compliant with critical automotive safety requirements.
