  • Publication number: 20030222809
    Abstract: The invention provides a millimeter wave radar monitoring system, which can reduce the installation cost and can improve reliability with less probability of false alarms. A millimeter wave radar unit includes a millimeter wave radar having a transmitting antenna for radiating a radio wave and a receiving antenna for receiving a wave reflected by a target having received the radio wave radiated from the transmitting antenna, and includes a signal processing unit for the received radio wave. A target tracking and monitoring circuit section in a monitoring unit collates position information of the target detected by the millimeter wave radar unit with monitoring area layout information held in a monitoring area layout signal section, thereby tracking a motion of the target. The target is displayed on a display along with the monitoring area layout information. When it is determined that the target is a suspicious invader, a warning device issues an alarm.

  • Publication number: 20030201878
    Abstract: The invention provides a radar system, which can increase a crossrange detection speed in the lane change state by employing a steering angle sensor, etc. loaded on a vehicle without providing additional hardware. A lane-change determining unit receives a yaw rate response from a steering angle sensor, etc., and determines whether the radar-loaded vehicle is in the steering operation for lane change. If the radar-loaded vehicle is in the lane change state, a gain setting unit shifts a tracker gain to a larger value than that in ordinary running, and calculates a range, a crossrange, a relative velocity, etc. relative to a target from the results of tracker processing executed by a filtering unit. By using the calculated range, crossrange, relative velocity, etc., a control determining unit determines whether there is a collision risk, and whether steering operation to avoid a collision is required.

  • Patent number: 6567737
    Abstract: In order to occur a collision warning to prevent the collision in accurate by detecting the preceding vehicle or target, a vehicle lane position estimation device comprising a means for measuring a distance between said host vehicle and said preceding vehicle or a oncoming vehicle, a direction angle from said host vehicle, an angular velocity and a velocity of said host vehicle, a means for calculating lateral and longitudinal distance between said host vehicle and said preceding vehicle or said oncoming vehicle, a means for capturing a front stationary object, a means for obtaining movement of the preceding vehicle or position of the oncoming vehicle, and a means to estimate a lane position of said front stationary object from a relationship of the stationary object being captured and the preceding vehicle being obtained and a positional relationship with the oncoming vehicle.
