Understanding the Detection Accuracy of Automatic Door Sensors: Technical Insights and Optimization

In automatic door systems, the detection accuracy of sensors directly impacts the door’s response speed, user safety, and overall experience. As a distributor, understanding the key factors influencing detection accuracy can help you recommend high-performance products to your customers. This article provides a technical explanation of automatic door sensor accuracy and explores optimization methods to enhance detection performance.

1. Core Technologies Behind Detection Accuracy

(1) Types of Sensors and Their Working Principles

Automatic door sensors rely on several detection technologies:

Microwave Radar Detection (Doppler Effect)

Works by emitting microwave signals and detecting frequency changes in the returning waves when an object moves.

Features: Fast response time; ideal for detecting pedestrians but less effective for stationary objects.

Infrared Sensors (Passive and Active Infrared)

Passive Infrared (PIR): Detects infrared radiation emitted by human bodies, making it suitable for motion detection.

Active Infrared (AIR): Actively emits infrared beams and detects reflections to determine object position and movement.

Features: Can detect both stationary and moving objects, but may be affected by ambient light conditions.

Laser Radar (LiDAR)

Uses laser beams to scan the surrounding environment, creating a 3D perception model to detect objects' size, distance, and direction.

Features: Wide detection range, high accuracy, and excellent object differentiation, but generally more expensive.

(2) Key Factors Affecting Detection Accuracy

Several parameters determine the accuracy of automatic door sensors:

ParameterInfluencing FactorsImpact Level
