Whyradar?• Competingnon-contacttechnologies– Vision/cameras
• Timeofflight• Stereoscopic
– Lasers– Ultrasound
• Radaroffersrobustandcostefficientmonitoringofdistanceand/orspeed– Doesnotrequireaclearfieldofvieworlineofsight– Robustandaccuratemeasurementresults– Newhighlyintegratedsolutionsreducescost
