Status Indication on Driverless Vehicles
K50L domed indicators display three different colors and switch effortlessly between each one for clear status indication
Autonomous vehicle technology is rapidly developing and growing in popularity around the world. Self-driving cars and shuttles may have seemed unlikely in the past, but automation advancements, plus a renewed interest in environmental concerns and accident reduction, have reinvigorated autonomous technology. Vehicles now have the capabilities to sense the surrounding area and navigate to its destination without driver navigation. However, autonomous vehicles would cause accidents and other mistakes without proper collision avoidance systems in place.
Solution for preventing the accidents is by using the most popular Banner Engineering K50L domed indicator; fully epoxy encapsulated and rated IP67 and IP69K for wet outdoor conditions. It is placed on the front of the autonomous vehicle to provide clear indication to people outside of the vehicle. When an object is detected by the collision avoidance device and the vehicle begins to slow down, the K50L light changes colors or flashes to show the appropriate bus status. The bright LEDs are easily visible, feature a 3-in-1 color display, and last longer and require less maintenance than standard lighting fixtures.
