AUTOMOTIVE-QUALIFIED THERMAL CAMERA FOR AVS AND ADAS
eledyne FLIR OEM has announced the launch of Tura, the first Automotive Safety Integrity Level (ASIL-B) thermal longwave infrared (LWIR) camera developed in compliance with ISO 26262 functional safety (FuSa) standards. Tura is purpose-built to meet the stringent perception requirements for vehicle- based night vision, advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS), and autonomous vehicles (AV) that demand high performance, low supply risk, and cost-effective thermal solutions. The automotive-qualified Tura features a new, high-performance passive 640 × 512 resolution far-infrared (FIR) sensor with industry-leading sensitivity critical for detecting and classifying pedestrians, animals, and other vulnerable roadway users. It delivers perception far beyond headlights in complete darkness and through challenging conditions such as fog, smoke, sun glare, and headlight glare.
“Safety and reliability are non-negotiable pillars of autonomous technology, and Tura sets a new industry benchmark with compatible FuSa features starting from the sensor,” says Paul Clayton, president and GM, Teledyne FLIR OEM. “We have manufactured more than one million automotive
thermal camera modules over the last twenty years for driver warning systems and will continue to provide a high-volume, cost-effective solution.” Teledyne FLIR OEM and Valeo, a key technology partner of mobility players around the globe, previously announced their collaboration, and “Valeo and Teledyne FLIR will deliver the first Automotive Safety Integrity Level (ASIL) B thermal imaging technology for night vision ADAS. This system will complement Valeo’s large range of sensors and rely on Valeo’s ADAS software stack to support functions such as automatic emergency braking (AEB) at night for passenger and commercial vehicles as well as for autonomous cars.”
Tura enhances lifesaving pedestrian automatic emergency braking (PAEB) and helps provide a smoother, safer ride. It also supports the U.S. Department of Transportation’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 127, which requires higher-speed nighttime test scenarios where existing AEB systems struggle. Teledyne FLIR OEM thermal cameras are also deployed in fully autonomous vehicles. In addition to delivering forward-looking perception data, multiple thermal camera modules can be
integrated to enhance 360-degree situational awareness. This enables reliable detection of heat-emitting objects - such as people, vehicles, and animals even in low-visibility conditions.
KEY SAFETY AND RELIABILITY FEATURES:
ASIL-B Compliance: Developed in accordance with ISO 26262 FuSa standards.
All-Weather Operation: Heated IP6K9K enclosure ensures reliable 24/7/365 performance.
Shutterless Design: AEC-Q-qualified components maximise uptime, power efficiency, and affordability.
AI-Optimised Integration: Simplified deployment with Teledyne FLIR OEM’s training data and Prism perception software, trained with millions of annotations.
