Published purpose
The advancement being sought is development of a modular unit that, through acoustic beamforming, advances safety by detecting people when they are around vehicles--such as a fire engine, for example--even in harsh conditions. The use of acoustics provides robustness against reduced visibility conditions. To be attractive as an add-on facility to vehicles, the sensor will be incorporated in a modified headlight unit that can be readily retro-fitted.
