Anti-collision warning-avoidance radar equipment

Objective

Requirements and specifications on 77 GHz radar sensor for automotive CW/A applications, feasible w.r.t. users/drivers needs and expectation on function and price.

Technology, components, complete prototypes of radar sensor and vehicle system proven feasible w.r.t. requirements, functionality and volume production.

Evaluation results of prototype CW/A radar and system. Plans and results (functional, technological, collaborative) for industrialisation and commercial marketing of the developed CW/A radar.

The AWARE project will specify and develop a 77 GHz scanning radar Collision Warning and Avoidance (CW/A) vehicle system. The CW/A system is intended to be applicable in motor- and highway traffic. (Dense city traffic and lateral manoeuvres are not covered at this stage). Moving and stationary obstacles in front of the vehicle are detected by the CW/A radar. Post-processing modules analyse the radar data, and when necessary the driver is alerted. In critical situations (when driver reaction is too slow) the brakes can automatically be applied.

The starting point is to consolidate experiences and developed technologies regarding Adaptive Cruise Control vehicle systems (a system adapting speed and distance to the preceding vehicle). The stricter requirements by the users (drivers), the automotive manufacturers and the market on the CW/A system regarding among others functionality, reliability and cost, will be met through a MMIC based radar front-end, advanced antenna and signal processing for horizontal and vertical resolution, modules for evaluation of risk of collision, and strategies for informing the driver and braking the vehicle. Prototypes of CW/A radar and vehicle systems will be realised for evaluation and "marketing" of results. Plans for exploitation of the developed CW/A system are included.

Programme(s)
