Results of a precrash application based on Laserscanner and short range radars

Abstract

In this paper, we present a vehicle safety application based on data gathered by a laserscanner and two short range radars that recognizes unavoidable collisions with stationary objects before they take place in order to trigger restraint systems. Two different software modules are compared that perform the processing of raw data and deliver a description of the vehiclepsilas environment. A comprehensive experimental evaluation based on relevant crash and non-crash scenarios is presented.
