On this page are reported the main differences between the two technologies on the market: the parking sensor EPS® and parking sensors called also back up sensor with ultrasound.
EPS® by PROXEL | ULTRASONIC SYSTEM | |
Sensors | ![]() The installation does not require any modifications outside of the car, the antenna sensor is placed inside the bumper. | ![]() The ultrasonic backup sensors are easily visible and vulnerable. |
Obstacle | ![]() The parking sensors EPS® are able to detect any kind of obstacle even with the most varied forms. | ![]() The ultrasonic backup sensors have difficulty to detect inclined surfaces or slightly reflective obstacles as shrubs and wire mesh. |
Distance | ![]() Capability to approach the obstacle up to few centimetres. | ![]() The ultrasonic backup sensor is unable to distinguish distances below 30 cm. |
Protection zone | ![]() The parking sensor EPS® protects the bumpers on its entire length without discontinuity points. | ![]() The ultrasonic backup sensors fails to protect the entire length of the bumper and has few dead detection points. |
