Arcure, intelligent on-board vision for pedestrian detection

Arcure –  anti-collision  Blaxtair®

With its range of Blaxtair® systems, Arcure prevents collisions between mobile machinery and pedestrians in industry and public works. Two-thirds of its sales come from exports.

Coactivity between mobile machinery and pedestrians causes 10,000 serious accidents each year in Europe. Blaxtair® intelligent vision systems help prevent these collisions and save lives. They detect pedestrians, regardless of their position—standing, crouching, or partially hidden behind an obstacle—even in harsh environments such as extreme temperatures, dust, or low lighting conditions.

Exceptionally robust and reliable, Blaxtair’s detection technology avoids false alerts and unnecessary alarms, ensuring safe and calm working conditions for operators. The operator can focus on their task, relying on the system to alert them to real dangers and even automatically stop the vehicle in an emergency. The data collected is used to generate risk zone maps, which can support targeted prevention strategies.

Arcure operates across all industrial sectors, including recycling and public works. Based in Paris, the company opened a subsidiary in Chicago in 2019.

Its technology is protected by eight patents, and Arcure has created a joint lab with the CEA to develop new image processing algorithms.
