SRR for Surround Sensing – possible applications

Complete surround sensing with 8 sensors Multiple applications with one kind of sensor



Widely independent of weather conditions

Radar sensors enable obstacledetection in most driving situations

Why UWB Radar?

Radar is a key enabling technology for innovative driver assistance systems and safety systems

Radar can address 88 % of all rear-end crashes



Why UWB Radar?

Low resolution narrowband radar system are unreliable in tracking objects

Predictability even deteriorateswith multiple objects in field of view.

High resolution UWB SRR systems are capable of reliable object tracking, to predict the path of encountering obstaclesThis is vital to predict potential crashes



Note: Time-limited placement on the market of 24 GHz SRRs in the EU member states until 30th June 2013. After this date only 79 GHz SRRs with a level of – 3dBm/MHz are to be placed on the market.

EU action:SRR integrated in eSafety program

US: Regulation in force since 2002

EU: Regulation in force since 2005 *)

Since cars are sold worldwide, a globally armonized frequency regulation is very important.

Japan / Far East: Discussion

Russia: Discussion

Canada:In preparation

NZ:24 GHz Regulation released

SGP,Australia:24 GHz in preparation

Global deployment of UWB SRRs

*) the 24 GHz regulation is limited to 2013

Application Examples Building material analysis and classification EN 302 435

Localization of hidden targets in constructions e.g. pipes, holes, wires for increased safety while e.g. drilling, construction testing

Characterization of material, e.g. metal or plastic or humidity

Sensors could be attached/integrated in Tooling equipment


Application Examples Location Tracking EN 302 500

Localization of Object in a range gate

Tracking of target movements within the detection range

Sensor Tracking technology for mass market applications

Indoor tracking applications covered by FCC regulation and ECC UWB decision


Application ExamplesObject Discrimination and Characterization EN 302 498

Object Identification for Surveillance EN 302 499 Identification of humans (adult or child),

animals, objects in different environments e.g. buildings, rooms, cars in normal and emergency situation

Measure heartbeat and breath frequency to monitor the physiological condition

Enabling of faster rescue and security actions and increased passenger safety


Application ExamplesObject Discrimination and Characterization EN 302 498

Application ExamplesConcrete Inspection

UWB inspection device

Principle scenario for detecting and determining the position and depth of tendons and rebars in a bridge structure. The UWB handheld scanner is moved over a grid in order to image the buried tendons and rebars. The position is marked on the grid.

Example for the application of a UWB Concrete Inspection device to locate tendons or rebars for preparation of through-drillings in a bridge slab using diamond cores.
