24 GHz AUTOMOTIVE RADAR FOR DETECTING LOW- FRICTION SPOTS DUE TO WATER, ICE OR SNOW ON ASPHALT
نویسندگان
چکیده
After extensive research work of several decades, automotive radars are finally pushing into consumer market. Commercially available radars are either for automatic cruise control or blind spot detection. Automatic cruise control systems adjust the vehicle speed according to the preceding vehicle whereas blind spot detection systems ease certain maneuvering, such as lane changing. Automotive radars are also proposed for road condition recognition [1,2]. In this paper, we study the possibility to use forward-looking dual-polarized 24 GHz automotive radar for detecting low-friction spots due to water, ice or snow on asphalt.
