Precision optics and sensor technologies for road safety

Imagine ... if your car could sense and communicate with the road, the signs, the signals and the other cars. More than just sensing the road, your vehicle will exchange environmental data with the smart highway and road signs, informing you about weather conditions and traffic patterns around construction areas. Traffic control would be able to respond to weather and environmental conditions. Cars could exchange metadata. All of this would make our roads safer and the environment cleaner.

To be able to do that, more cars would have to be equipped with advanced sensors and cameras that are constantly monitoring the road in rain, snow or sleet, in bright sunlight and in pitch dark. Manufacturing stringency is essential to ensure the quality to perform in all weather conditions.

At Jenoptik, our acquisition of TRIOPTICS in 2020 converges our competencies to realize sophisticated photonic design as everyday solutions, delivering high performance photonics solutions into every vehicle coming off the production line. The result? With universally available sensing, traffic would flow more smoothly, collisions would decline, and everyone would feel less stressed.

Drive safely in all conditions. With converging capabilities from Jenoptik and TRIOPTICS.
