India ranks first with the highest number of road accidents registered in the world. An estimated 16 people die every hour. Here 80 per cent of the accidents are caused by a human error with a window of only 15 seconds known to be at hand to avoid it. On a mission to make Indian roads safer, Mumbai-based Sixth Sensor Technology claims to have directly saved 250 plus lives till date. The emerging company claims to have done so using its indigenously built collision avoidance or precrash system - ‘6th Sense’. Aimed at the aftermarket segment, the precrash system is claimed to have found its way in some of India’s biggest fleets with the company’s clientele boasting of heavy-weights like Ashok Leyland, Mahindra, VRL logistics and MSRTC to name a few. 6th Sense is claimed to have made deep inroads into segments like commercial buses, school buses, commercial trucks, mining vehicles, oil tankers and cash vans.
Choice of Technology
6th Sense relies more upon Radio Detection And Ranging (RADAR) an object-detection, electronic device that uses an ultra-high frequency or microwave part of the radio frequency spectrum to determine the position or range of a stationary or moving vehicle or object. Admitting to the combination of RADAR and LiDAR, providing a 360-degree view of the vehicle surrounding and commonly known to act as an eye of self-driving vehicles together with camera-based devices to be an ideal solution, Dagli said cost often dictates the go-to-market strategy. For camera-based systems, Dagli advocated the use of a powerful AI algorithm backed by high-quality hardware to ensure a higher degree of precision. For instance, for the algorithm to kick in, in relation to the obstacle.
