1. Forward-facing millimeter-wave radar (61% market share)
Installation location: Usually installed behind the front bumper or grille of the vehicle.
Core Functions: Accurately detects vehicles, pedestrians, obstacles, and other targets ahead, providing data support for key driver assistance functions such as adaptive cruise control and emergency braking.
2. Side-facing millimeter-wave radar
Installation location: Generally installed below the left and right rearview mirrors or on both sides of the vehicle doors.
Core functions: Real-time monitoring of vehicles, pedestrians, and other targets on the side to ensure the safety of lane changes and merging, and improve the stability of vehicles in lateral driving.
3. Rear-facing millimeter-wave radar
Installation location: Mostly installed on the rear bumper of the vehicle.
Core functions: Detects approaching vehicles from behind and obstacles during reversing, supporting functions such as reversing assistance and rear collision warning, reducing safety risks when reversing and driving at low speeds.
1. Core Advantages
1) Stable operation around the clock: Unaffected by adverse weather conditions such as rain, snow, fog, and dust, it can maintain stable detection performance even under complex weather conditions, showing a significant advantage over camera-based solutions.
2) Outstanding anti-interference capability: Operating in the high-frequency range of 30-300 GHz, it has strong resistance to electromagnetic and optical interference in the environment, ensuring high stability of signal transmission.
3) Excellent detection performance: Boasts high accuracy in distance measurement and speed detection, with continuously improved angular resolution, which can meet the needs of short-range target recognition and complex road scenarios.
4) High penetration advantage: Capable of penetrating non-metallic objects such as plastic, clothing and glass, it can accurately sense vital signs such as human breathing and heartbeat, making it suitable for in-vehicle safety monitoring and external obstacle detection.
5) Strong expandability: Realizes seamless collaboration with cameras, audible and visual alarms, GPS tracker and other equipment, further enhancing driving safety and functional diversity.
2. Current Limitations
1) Existence of detection blind spots: The radar coverage area is fan-shaped, leading to inevitable blind spots that may result in delayed detection of some targets.
2) Limited static target recognition: Target detection is based on the Doppler effect, which may pose a risk of missing detection for completely stationary targets.
3) Functional scenario limitations: It cannot recognize traffic signs and traffic signals, and needs to be used in conjunction with other sensing devices to make up for this shortcoming.
4) Interference from metal objects: The reflection characteristics of millimeter waves on metal surfaces may cause misjudgments. For example, signal interference may occur when approaching large metal structures such as bridges and tunnels.
