Abstract:Target classification is an important task of automotive radar systems. In this work, a concept for estimating the height of vehicles to allow for a differentiation between passenger cars, trucks, and others, is presented and discussed. Fixed installed radar sensors for traffic monitoring in the 77 GHz band are used to track and analyze radar echoes from individual vehicles as they move relative to the radar. Considering multipath propagation, which includes the ground reflection, the height of individual rada… Show more
