RADAR DEVICE FOR VEHICLE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18590676 titled 'RADAR DEVICE FOR VEHICLE
The radar device described in the patent application includes a target detection unit, a multipath ghost determination unit, a monorail environment determination unit, and a monorail vehicle determination unit.
- The multipath ghost determination unit identifies relay reflective targets and distinguishes moving objects erroneously detected due to stationary objects, known as multipath ghosts.
- The monorail environment determination unit assesses if the vehicle is in a monorail environment.
- The monorail vehicle determination unit identifies monorail vehicles based on the number of multipath ghosts detected.
- Key Features and Innovation:**
- Detection and differentiation of relay reflective targets and multipath ghosts.
- Determination of monorail environment and identification of monorail vehicles.
- Enhanced accuracy in target detection in complex environments.
- Potential Applications:**
The technology can be used in radar systems for vehicles operating in monorail environments, such as trains or monorail transportation systems.
- Problems Solved:**
The technology addresses the challenge of accurately detecting and identifying moving objects in the presence of stationary objects in radar systems.
- Benefits:**
- Improved safety and efficiency in monorail transportation systems.
- Enhanced target detection capabilities in complex environments.
- Reduction of false detections and improved overall system performance.
- Commercial Applications:**
This technology can be applied in the development of radar systems for monorail vehicles, enhancing their safety and operational efficiency in various transportation applications.
- Questions about Radar Device:**
1. How does the radar device differentiate between relay reflective targets and multipath ghosts? 2. What are the potential implications of using this technology in monorail transportation systems?
- Frequently Updated Research:**

Original Abstract Submitted
A radar device according to one aspect of the present disclosure includes a target detection unit, a multipath ghost determination unit, a monorail environment determination unit, and a monorail vehicle determination unit. The multipath ghost determination unit extracts a relay reflective target from detected targets, and determines a moving object detected erroneously due to a stationary object from or to which radar waves are relayed by the relay reflective target, as being a multipath ghost. The monorail environment determination unit determines whether an environment in which the vehicle carrying the radar device is traveling is a monorail environment. When the environment in which the vehicle carrying the radar device is traveling is the monorail environment, the monorail vehicle determination unit determines that the relay reflective target is a monorail vehicle, based on the number of multipath ghosts.
