dc.description.abstract |
An evaluation of the capabilities of Automotive Long Range Radar Generation 2,
manufactured by Bosch, for detecting humans is presented. The main goal is to improve
the security of workers in work machine environments by detecting the presence of
humans and thus avoiding accidents.
In order to characterize the limitations of the radar when the target is a human instead of
a car, several measurements are performed. As was expected, the measurements have
shown important differences from the specifications of the radar. The maximum range
has decreased from 200 m to 90 m and the angular resolution is poor. The range
resolution between humans is acceptable in near range but increases when the range is
large. Also, detecting a human is difficult when he is close to a larger target.
The range resolution has been identified as the main drawback in this radar. However,
this radar may be able to provide better values in range resolution if the measurement
configuration of the radar is changed. Different techniques for human identification
have also been presented. The use of two different frequencies seems to be the most
potential method to identify humans from other targets. |
