Abstract: A vehicle system and method are disclosed for the acquisition and transformation of data from vehicle mounted sensors oriented to monitor the environment proximate the vehicle for relevant objects. Data transformations are accomplished using polar to Cartesian debiased corrections, recursive filters, and measurement-to-track update techniques.

Abstract: A system and methods are disclosed for providing integrated software development environment for the design, verification and validation of advanced automotive safety systems. The system allows automotive software to be developed on a host computer using a collection of computer programs running simultaneously as processes and synchronized by a central process. The software disclosed uses separate synchronized processes, permitting signals from disparate sources to be generated by a simulation running on the host computer or from actual sensors and data bus signals coming from and going to actual vehicle hardware which is connected to their bus counterparts in the host computer on a real-time basis. The methods disclosed are for providing an Algorithm Prototyping, Analysis and Test through an integrated framework for dynamic data modeling and application development.
