Many companies and institutions have put their faith in Tecnivial to complete projects in over 12 countries worldwide.
_ A Laser Beacon System to assist driving in conditions of reduced visibility (extreme fog, particles in suspension, etc.,) allowing the driver to see the road layout much better than the reduced visibility allows other objects to be seen, ensuring greater safety for the road user.
This is achieved by activating a laser beam which marks the road layout.
The beam is emitted from beacons equipped with a semiconductor laser diode. It projects a pulsed laser beam, which is intercepted by the next beacon, creating a polygonal line providing clear vision of the road layout. The photons of the pulsed laser light beam, collide with the particles in suspension, (condensed water which forms fog, dust, sand etc.,) thereby allowing a continuous light to be seen between the beacons.
The system includes sensors that detect both the presence of objects that could intercept the laser beam between beacons, and potential deviations of the beam due to displacement of, or impact on, the beacons, thereby avoiding a distorted view of the road layout.
LASERTEC, is the system chosen by the Spanish Ministry of Transport to be installed in Spanish roads as a driver aid under extreme fog conditions.
For that, LASERTEC has been validated by the following institutions:
· CTAG. Automotive Technology Centre of Galicia.
· CLPU. Spanish Centre for Pulsed Lasers.
· Complutense University of Madrid. Optical Faculty.
· Spanish Ministry of Transport. Spanish Highway Authorities. Experts Committee composed by technical of different disciplines: meteorology, fluid dynamics, optic and photonic, roads and road safety.
In addition, LASERTEC has been awarded the following awards:
· XVIII ACEX National Award for Safety in Maintenance of Roads.
· Actualidad Económica Award for the 100 Best Ideas of the Year. 2024 Edition.
