“…Together with powerful signal processing algorithms future high resolution radar systems will allow roadside detection, lane prediction, and the classification of objects, thus making intelligent interpretation of traffic scenes imaginable. At Daimler-Benz experiments with a real aperture imaging radar sensor based on an in-house developed GaAs MMIC chip set have been performed, delivering an image-like representation of the traffic scenario ahead with 16 lateral resolution cells [35].

There is a growing interest ofcar manufacturers in sensors monitoring the car's surrounding area in order to improve safety systems from mere crash survival to crash prediction or prevention by early detection of hazardous -situations. Therefore radar sensors have been intensively investigated for many years. A large variety of radar based vehicular sensors have been developed. Narrow-beam radars are tested for intelligent cruise control (ICC), collision or obstacle warning, other sensors are used for stop&go operation, as lane change aid, for side or rear impact warning. Though first radar sensors for ICC operation are moving into the pre-production phase, further improvement in low-cost high-volume manufacturing is essentiaL Next generations of automotive radar sensors will take advantage of increased signal processing power, progress in semiconductor technology, and improved packaging and assembly techniques. Future radar sensors will comprise electronically scanned beams allowingfor better resolution with a high image update rate. Fusion ofradar with other on board sensors (e.g. video) willfurther improve the performance ofcar safety systems, leading to intelligent vehicles infuture.
