oToBrite won the Taiwan Excellence Award and the Hsinchu Science Park Innovation Product Award

oToBrite (2256) recently received the Taiwan Excellence Award and the Hsinchu Science Park Innovation Product Award for two products: Blind Spot Information System(BSIS) and oToGuard All-in-one ADAS for heavy commercial vehicles. The Ministry of Transportation and Communications has mandated that, since January 1, 2025, all new large vehicles must be equipped with a “blind spot warning system”. oToBrite’s award-winning product utilizes a Vision-AI image recognition system to develop a “Blind Spot Information System” specifically designed for heavy commercial vehicles/electric buses, helping manufacturers comply with regulation requirements and obtain the applicable certifications.

Ian Tzeng, the Director of Product Strategy & Marketing Office at oToBrite, stated that the main advantage of Vision-AI over traditional radar-based blind area detection solutions is that it uses images from camera modules for vision assessment. This allows for clear differentiation between moving vehicles and people on land, such as pedestrians, cyclists, and vehicles, without interference from common objects in driving environments, such as railings, streetlights, traffic signals, and parked cars. This results in a lower false alarm rate compared to traditional radar sensors.

Ian Tzeng stated that images have a significantly higher detection rate for pedestrians compared to radar, enabling clearer identification of individuals. Whether they are in motion or standing still, they can be clearly identified. This enhances the safety of vulnerable road users and helps to reduce the occurrence of accidents. Furthermore, the images can be integrated with the dashcam, allowing for a clear understanding of the true conditions in blind areas even when a traffic incident occurs. This helps clarify accident responsibility and assists fleet operators in management and monitoring.

Roy Wu, oToBrite’s CEO, further emphasized that the Ministry of Transportation and Communications is promoting the complete electrification of passenger vehicles by 2030. oToBrite has helped heavy commercial vehicle clients in Taiwan pass tests and obtain certifications by using a set of multi-functional ADAS system to pass UN R151 and UN R159. The Corrective Steering Function (CSF), Adaptive Corrective Steering Function (ACSF-B1), and Emergency Steering Function (ESF) as outlined in UN R79 were subsequently passed as well. Other functions are also currently undergoing verification testing. Thanks to oToBrite’s proprietary Vision-AI technology, heavy commercial vehicle clients have obtained international certification, hence earning recognition with two significant domestic awards.

Roy Wu stated that Vision-AI technology is utilized not only in automotive ADAS systems for passenger and commercial vehicles, but that oToBrite is also working closely with several industrial computer partners to actively enter the unmanned vehicle market, devoting to generate new momentum for the company’s next wave of rapid growth.
