Sensor and guidance system for road vehicle has four different types of sensor in front of vehicle, building up picture of environment in front of vehicle, including IR and video sensors

摘要

The road vehicle (F) has a 77 GHz radar (Radar 77 GHz) mounted in the front end, detecting objects at a distance over a narrow angle. An IR sensor (Infrarot) covers a medium range with a wider cone angle. A video sensor (Video) covers a short range with a very wide cone angle. A 24 GHz radar (Radar 24 GHz) covers a very short forward range with a cone angle of nearly 180 degrees. It covers the region immediately in front of the vehicle.
