How Does a Parking Radar Work?
1 Answers
Parking radar operates by utilizing ultrasonic principles during reversing. The sensors mounted on the rear bumper emit ultrasonic waves that reflect off obstacles, allowing the system to calculate the actual distance between the vehicle and the obstacle. This information is then relayed to the driver, making parking or reversing easier and safer. The parking radar system primarily consists of ultrasonic sensors, a controller, and a display or buzzer. The ultrasonic sensors are responsible for transmitting and receiving ultrasonic signals, which are then fed into the main unit. The controller processes these signals to determine the distance and orientation between the vehicle and the obstacle. The display or buzzer alerts the driver when the sensors detect that the vehicle has reached a hazardous proximity to an obstacle.
