As more scooters, bikes and pedestrians populate the road, there is a growing need for ADAS and monitoring capabilities that can prevent collisions, injuries or deaths. Vayyar, a 4D imaging radar company, in this line, has launched an ultra-short and short-range imaging radar (uSRR/SRR) evaluation kit (EVK) for the development of ADAS and autonomous vehicle applications.
The features of the product according to the Vayyar are as follows:
- It is based on Vayyar’s 4D MIMO Radar-on-Chip (RoC). It features a performance-optimized, automotive grade RoC with a large MIMO array on a compact, single-chip based module.
- The SRR EVK includes a high-resolution point cloud, with a very wide field-of-view (FoV) both in azimuth and elevation, no-dead zones, and zero minimum distance.
- Vayyar’s SRR EVK enables evaluation and development of such applications, delivering a comprehensive radar hardware-software package for rapid prototyping and experimentation.
- Vayyar’s system supports a high natural resolution and a rich 4D point cloud, without the need for RFIC concatenation.
- The kit includes advanced 4D image reconstruction algorithms and software for efficient data representation structures. This allows rich target data streaming to a vehicle central-host-processor over a low bandwidth interface, supporting on-board applications (saving external ECU costs) as well as enabling vehicle-level fusion.
- SRR EVK API enables application development, sensor fusion, configuration, and data recordings. The GUI provides a 4D display option with support for a side-by-side camera view, for referencing.
- uSRR-SRR technology detects and tracks multiple targets around the vehicle including other vehicles, objects, and Vulnerable Road Users (VRU), with accuracy.
- It includes advanced hardware support for dynamic ranges from 10cm to 30m.
According to the company, this SRR EVK can be used to evaluate and develop Around Vehicle Monitoring (AVM), and a host of other ADAS/AV applications including advanced assisted parking, front and rear Autonomous Emergency Braking (f/rAEB), Collision Warnings (f/rCW), Blind Spot Detection (BSD), Lane Change Assist (LCA) and keyless access systems. It also supports Robotaxi features and meets upcoming NHTSA and EURO NCAP safety requirements.
