Compact radar sensors for autonomous vehicles for 2D and 3D view

Andrey Geltser, owner R&D “Svyaz”, PhD

AIM OF THE PROJECT

Provide management system of the vehicle by data about objects and their parameters:• Speed• Direction of motion• Spatial coordinates

2

PURPOSE

Implemetation of small-sized next genaration radar sensors for autonomous vehicles

Using data from camera, which allow to design full driverless vehicle working in any weather and the time of day

BENEFITS

3

excellent measurement accuracy and object separation capability

insensitive to weatherand lighting conditions

scalable system including adjustable sensor

configuration and sensor data fusion

sensor design without any mechanically moving
