HD Hyundai has again been recognized for its next-generation technological advancements with three 2024 CES Innovation Awards after the company received multiple honors in 2023.
The CES Innovation Awards are announced each year ahead of CES, the world’s largest IT and consumer electronics trade show held in Las Vegas, Nevada.
HD Hyundai XiteSolution, which markets construction equipment under the Develon and Hyundai Construction Equipment brands, won in the Vehicle Tech & Advanced Mobility and Mobile Devices, Accessories & Apps categories.
Within the Vehicle Tech & Advanced Mobility category, HD Hyundai XiteSolution was recognized for its Smart Collision Mitigation (SCM) with sensor fusion. It is an active safety system that detects objects around the excavator through sensor fusion of camera and radar.
Machines such as excavators are equipped with four or more cameras to provide a 360-degree view. Using AI technology, the system can selectively detect specific objects.
In addition, three wide-angle radar sensors with 180-degree horizontal FOV are used to minimize blind spots and accurately measure the distance of detected objects. When an object is detected within the warning/danger zone, visual/audible warnings are activated, and the excavator reduces the swing and driving speed and then stops them to prevent accidents.
HD Hyundai XiteSolution says it is the first construction manufacturer to use sensor fusion technology to supplement a machine’s cameras and radars. Adding the fusion technology elevates accuracy in the system's ability to detect obstacles and distance from equipment compared to machines with a single sensor, the company says.
