Here, we outline the differences between two parking sensor technologies available in the market: EPS® parking sensors and ultrasonic capsule sensors.
EPS® by PROXEL | ULTRASONIC SYSTEM | |
Sensors | No external aesthetic modification is required for installation. The antenna sensor is discreetly positioned inside the bumper, preserving the vehicle's original appearance. | Ultrasonic capsules are easily visible externally and can be susceptible to damage, compromising both the vehicle's appearance and their integrity. |
Obstacle | EPS® parking sensor technology enables precise detection of obstacles of varied shapes, ensuring complete and accurate coverage. | These sensors may struggle to detect inclined or less reflective surfaces such as bushes or metal meshes. |
Distance | These sensors allow approaching obstacles within a few centimeters, offering exceptional precision in parking maneuvers. | Ultrasonic systems face limitations in detecting distances shorter than 30-40 cm, reducing accuracy in close-range maneuvers. |
Protection zone | The EPS® parking sensor ensures uniform protection along the entire bumper length, eliminating blind spots and discontinuities. | Ultrasonic sensors do not guarantee complete coverage of the bumper length, presenting unnotifiable dead zones that can compromise safety during parking maneuvers. |
