The aim of this project is to develop examination and test methods for sensors of both 77 GHz Radar and Lidar (Laser scanner) technologies.
For the 77 GHz radar technology, a laboratory measurement set-up will be developed, including in the software automatic measurement functions based on existing measurement systems for speed enforcement radar systems. The mechanical design will initially be simplified (no motorized movement according to the angle of approach in case of moving objects).
For the Lidar technology, the infrastructure of the existing measurement systems for the Laser scanners 180° will be used. A new laboratory measurement set-up will be developed for the Laser scanners 360°, this based on the existing laboratory system for distance measurements.
Basic functions such as radar or laser beam characterization and linearity of distance and speed measurement of simple objects will be implemented.
At the end of this project, an evaluation will be carried out to define future projects to achieve the final vision.
This vision is the development of test methods for driver assistance systems and the calibration methods in order to find solutions for the testing of these sensors by the vehicle roadworthiness centers.
