Parking sensors are proximity sensors for road vehicles designed to alert the driver of obstacles while parking. These systems use either electromagnetic or ultrasonic sensors.

These systems feature ultrasonic proximity detectors to measure the distances to nearby objects via sensors located in the front and/or rear bumper fascias or visually minimised within adjacent grills or recesses.

The sensors emit acoustic pulses, with a control unit measuring the return interval of each reflected signal and calculating object distances.[1] The system in turns warns the driver with acoustic tones, the frequency indicating object distance, with faster tones indicating closer proximity and a continuous tone indicating a minimal pre-defined distance

Our range of Front Obstacle Detection Systems activate as soon as the ignition is switched on or manually via a discreet dash mounted switch, for added security this clever devise activates when you engage or disengage reverse gear to provide full protection whilst manoeuvring. Some of our systems have the added beauty of ‘Speed Sense Detection’ and will trip in & out just when they are needed.
