Abstract

This paper provides a 79GHz-band radar system performance for vehicular and pedestrian safety around intersections. The designed system and proposed detection algorithm are simulated and embedded into a prototype and verified in outdoor for pedestrian detection. A significant gain of separation performance is provided compared to conventional algorithm. The prototype covers 30 cm range resolution with high probability and 5-degree angle resolution with high potential. The results therefore prove the system feasibility for future automotive safety application.
