Detecting Road Users: Notes

Both (master and SWW2) radar sensors are used to detect road users. They operate independently of each other in their own respective areas of detection.

First, the position of the road users who have been detected is determined in a longitudinal and lateral direction. Based on this, they are assigned a lane. In doing so a distinction is made between your own lane, the neighboring lanes on the right and left and other neighboring lanes that are further away.

If road users are in your "lane change zone", their approaching speeds to your own vehicle are recorded.

If, instead, a road user is in your blind spot, it is sufficient that you are aware of their presence. His exact position or speed in such cases is not critical for the warning to be issued.
