SDS-AT 380 TB EACH Performance without Compromise OSS ONE STOP SYSTEMS Onestopsystems.com Kodiak Driver | Dossier pre-calibrated; if you don’t have the right set-up, calibration is very tricky,” Wendel says. “You need to see a lot of views of a certain target, you need to move the vehicle around, and a truck technician who has never dealt with HD cameras or Lidars can’t be expected to perform calibration quickly or easily. Fleet uptime is everything in trucking, so ensuring we can get each vehicle back on the road in 9 minutes is imperative.” A pole-and-hinge systemmounts the SensorPod housing to the cockpit, and can be customised for a Kenworth T680 or any other Class 8 truck. Also, a single military-grade connector provides the software interface between pod and truck, and liquid lines for air and water from the truck run into the sensor pod to enable automated cleaning of the camera lenses and Lidars. A total of seven cameras are integrated across the Gen4, three of these being forward-facing, one pointing left, another pointing right, and two looking rearward on each side. The forward cameras are themost important for object detection and localisation, while the side cameras provide a view around the truck. “The cameras in general can see objects up to 1000 m away, but in practice 300 m is really the sweet spot where we want to see reliably and precisely,” Wendel says. “What’s most important is knowing how far you can see at any time. Say you’re driving in fog: in such conditions, a person can’t see very far, but they can still drive reliably and slow down when appropriate, because they understand that their visibility is reduced and they need to be more cautious.” This range enables a detailed and deterministic FoV analysis of objects at different ranges. To ensure this analysis bears useful data outputs, Kodiak aims to integrate cameras of at least 3-4 MP, and if supplies of those are short then the company opts for higher resolutions. Meanwhile, the forward-facing CenterPod camera’s wide-angle lens ensures a 120o FoV and high resolution of close-up objects. The forward-facing cameras on the SensorPods integrate a zoom lens for hi-res vision up to 1000 m down the road with a 30o FoV. “If I had to describe in onewordwhat autonomous drivingmeans to us though, I would say ‘redundancy’,”Wendel adds. “That’swhy, aswell as the seven cameras looking about the truck, we also have three Lidars and four radars [two per side]. “And rather than having different roles for everything, we’re doing a lot of the same things redundantly, using different sensors with different modalities, so that we can tell if one of them isn’t working properly. That’s what makes an AV safe for use on roads.” The SensorPods each integrate a Hesai Lidar, while the CenterPod uses a Luminar Lidar.
