ADAS Technology overview

For short range detection,

ultrasonic sensors could be

used (e.g. parking distance).

A complete view of the

environment can be

achieved using cameras.

cheap small range High range Sensitive to day / night

Resolution Expensive (cost + calculation)

Source: Continental

Radars can be used for

long- and short range views.

Insensitive to light changes.

Range Data Processing

For long range

detection, Lidar sensors

could be used.

Radar Measurement

Distance

Measure the time of flight (ToF) in order to calculate

the distance:

𝑑 =𝑐0𝑡
