Why Active Smart Sensor Sets a New Standard in Blind Spot Protection

Spatial Detection

Thanks to its unrivalled electrostatic sensing technology, Active Smart Sensor generates an ultra-wide spatial detection field, reaching all the way down to street level — essential for detecting vulnerable road users near large vehicles.

Robustness

A unique water- and dirt-repellent surface coating ensures flawless operation, even in the most demanding environments such as construction sites or urban service zones.

All-Weather Performance

Unlike optical systems, Active Smart Sensor operates independently of visibility conditions. Whether it’s rain, snow, fog, or frost — the system provides consistent and reliable safety in all weather.

Built to Last

Engineered with a durable, impact-resistant design, Active Smart withstands occasional direct hits without requiring recalibration or workshop servicing.

Advanced Sensor Technology

Planar Sensor Design Powered by CWES

Continuous Wave Electrostatic Sensing (CWES)

At the core of Active Smart lies the proprietary CWES technology. It measures the near-field interaction of objects with a low-frequency electric field using ultra-sensitive analogue electronics combined with smart signal processing algorithms.

Ultra-Thin, Flexible Integration

The unique planar sensor design allows for ultra-thin and flexible implementations (only 1–2 mm thick), enabling seamless integration into vehicle surfaces without compromising design or aerodynamics.

See Through Non-Conductive Surfaces

Electrostatic sensors can detect movement through materials like plastic or fiberglass, allowing for invisible integration into the vehicle body.

Extremely Low Power Consumption

With a power requirement of less than 1 mW, Active Smart Sensor operates efficiently and sustainably, without emitting measurable radiation.

Blind Spot Accidents: A Persistent Problem

Misunderstood, Misguided, and Missed Opportunities

False Assumptions

For too long, EU policymakers have relied on mirrors and cameras to solve blind spot issues — assuming that better indirect vision would reduce accidents.

Unrealized Expectations

In practice, cognitive overload and human limitations explain why adding more mirrors or screens has not led to the expected safety improvements. Drivers are often overwhelmed rather than supported.

Active Intervention, Not Passive Monitoring

Active Smart Sensor takes a fundamentally different approach: intelligent sensing that filters information, alerts only when necessary, and works independently of human attention or visibility conditions.
