What is the principle of automotive radar?
1 Answers
Automotive radar works by utilizing ultrasonic principles. A transmitter installed on the vehicle body emits ultrasonic waves that reflect off obstacles, and the system calculates the actual distance between the vehicle and the obstacle based on the reflected waves. Below are the types and applications of automotive radar: Functions of automotive radar: Depending on the technology used (such as laser, ultrasound, or microwave), automotive radar can perform various functions, including obstacle detection, collision prediction, and adaptive cruise control. Applications of automotive radar: Automotive radar can be used for speed measurement (calculating vehicle speed by measuring wheel rotation speed), obstacle detection (observing terrain in low or no visibility conditions and alerting the driver to prevent accidents), and adaptive cruise control (adjusting to the surrounding environment and maintaining a safe speed relative to the vehicle ahead).
