Abstract

This paper reports a radar system design using millimeter-wave for vehicular and pedestrian safety around intersections. The proposed system design and associated key algorithms are embedded into a prototype and verified in an anechoic chamber and a trial intersection. The system covers 30 cm range resolution, 5-degree angle resolution, 95% detection rate and 10% false alarm rate. The results therefore prove the system feasibility for future automotive safety application.
