Important results from the project
The project achieved its original goals. Radar Reticence’s radar technology progressed from lab and simulation environments to working prototypes mounted on vehicles and tested on test tracks and in real traffic. The project generated relevant measurement data, strengthened collaboration between the partners, and increased the technology maturity ahead of further industrialisation and commercialisation.
Expected long term effects
The project is expected to contribute to more robust and reliable radar systems for future vehicles. The results strengthen the basis for continued technology development, industrial partnerships and commercialisation. In the long term, the technology may support safer driver assistance and automated vehicles by improving performance in complex traffic environments with many sensors.
Approach and implementation
The project was carried out by Radar Reticence, NIRA Dynamics and Halmstad University. The work included hardware and software development, vehicle integration, testing and data analysis. The test plan was adjusted so that more tests were conducted at Mantorp Park and in real traffic instead of at AstaZero. The collaboration worked well and minor delays were managed.
