Résumé / Abstract
This report describes the results of an investigation of automotive collision avoidance radar braking system concepts and technology. The purpose of this 3-months study program, which constitutes Phase I of a multi-phase NHTSA effort, has been to assess the state-of-the-art of current radar braking technology and to arrive at a comprehensive definition of the radar braking concept. The concept definition includes a characterization of the many factors which enter into the concept, the techniques which are applicable to the concept, and a determination of the problem areas which require additional research. Among the subject areas receiving special attention during this Phase I study, were; (1) identification and analysis of the manner in which driver, driving environment, and vehicle characteristics in conjunction with radar braking objectives, affect the requirements of the system, (2) characterization of the subsystems of the radar braking concepts as to the function, tradeoffs, alternative implementation, and technology limitations, (3) appraisal of the current state-of-the-art in radar braking techniques and systems, (4) generation of candidate braking systems and radar techniques, and (5) analysis of accident statistics to determine the relative benefits of the candidate system configurations.
