VODC’s patented technology is able to identify the number of people in a moving vehicle through automotive glass at freeway speeds in all types of weather without the use of visible light and can differentiate a human from pets, dummies and photos. Because VODC’s technology uses infrared wavelengths to reflect off a human body’s oxygen-rick, iron carrying red blood cells and not facial recognition, a person can be reliably identified whether the person is laying down (photo #1), partially covered in the back seat (#2) is old (#3) wearing makeup and image partially blocked by a visor with hands raised (#4) or partially covered by hair looking sideways (#5)
“Indeed, ‘Holy Grail of Detection’ were my unprompted words to describe the HOV detection application, since it has defied the attempts of other researchers in the field for over thirty years.”
