Abstract

Perception is a vital part of driving. Every year, the loss in visibility due to snow, fog, and rain causes serious accidents worldwide. Therefore, it is important to be aware of the impact of weather conditions on perception performance while driving on highways and urban traffic [...]

Abstract

Targeted information sources include radar and ADS (Automatic Dependent Surveillance) for civil ATM (Air Traffic Management) systems, and the new navigation system based on satellites has the capability of global coverage. In order to solve the surveillance problem in mid-and-high [...]

Abstract

Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) play an important role in increasing the safety on today’s roads. Forward collision warning systems, lane change assistants or cooperative adaptive cruise control are examples of safety relevant applications that rely on accurate relative [...]

Abstract

DOE contracted with Sandia to install a radar acquisition system (RAMS) to gather aircraft flight data near the Pantex Plant in Amarillo, TX. To support this effort, data reduction tools were needed to help analyze the radar data. Plot-flight is one of several data reduction tools [...]

Abstract

Two geophysical surveys were conducted over a vitrified clay pipeline (VCP) that was used to transfer liquid radioactive waste from the 224-U Building to the 216-U-8 and 216-U-12 cribs. The objectives of the surveys were to locate the VCP in the northern site, locate the bends in [...]

Abstract

A light-weight, easy to use ground penetrating radar (GPR) system for tracking metal/non-metal pipes has been developed. A pre-production prototype instrument has been developed whose production cost and ease of use should fit important market niches. It is a portable tool which is [...]

Abstract

Radar sensors become typical components for automotive driver assistance systems and autonomous driving. The widespread use of this sensor type leads to an increasing risk of unwanted interferences. Those interferences can severely degrade the detection performance and cause sensor [...]

Abstract

EuCAP 2016 - 10th European Conference on Antennas and Propagation, Davos, SUISSE, 10-/04/2016 - 15/04/2016; With Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) getting always more sophisticated, the related Virtual Prototyping platforms have to propose a very high level of accuracy with [...]

Abstract

International audience; This paper presents a new radar sensor modeling for Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) prototyping. This virtual model is embedded in the SiVIC platform dedicated to the simulation of vehicles, infrastructure and sensors. Lots of simulators already exist [...]
