Where is the reversing radar located on a car?
1 Answers
Reversing radar is installed on the rear bumper of a car. It is a safety assistance device for parking or reversing, which can inform the driver of surrounding obstacles through sound or more intuitive display. The reversing radar utilizes ultrasonic principles during reversing. The sensor mounted on the rear bumper emits ultrasonic waves that reflect off obstacles, then calculates the actual distance between the vehicle body and the obstacle, and finally alerts the driver, making parking or reversing easier and safer. The reversing radar mainly consists of ultrasonic sensors, a controller, and a display or buzzer. Ultrasonic sensor: Its main function is to emit and receive ultrasonic signals, then input the signals into the main unit, which are displayed on the display device. Controller: It processes the signals and calculates the distance and orientation between the vehicle body and the obstacle. Display or buzzer: When the sensor detects that the distance between the car and the obstacle reaches a dangerous level, the system will issue an alert through the display and buzzer to remind the driver.
