Abstract :
The advantages of millimeterwave systems are commonly known today, one outstanding application area is automotive radar. Since 1975 many companies, institutions and laboratories experimented with various millimeterwave-frequency pulse- and/or FM-CW-radar systems. However, stand alone units like forward looking automotive radar for e.g. AICC (Autonomous Intelligent Cruise Control), or Microwave Doppler Sensors for Drive-by-Wire purposes are only the beginning of the Intelligent CAR concept. Traffic flow monitoring and controlling and the ultimate goal of cooperative driving, needs the implementation of some communication means between infrastructure and vehicle as well as the vehicle-to-vehicle communication, i.e. the Intelligent ROAD concept.
