Features & Benefits
- Flexible Mounting: The ARS 430 FM radar can be mounted in any direction (front, rear, side, corner). With input of speed and yaw rate the radar can properly track moving and stationary objects.
- Auto Calibration: The auto calibration feature allows the sensor to detect and compensate deviations between configured mounting angle and actual mounting angle.
- Object Detection: The high-performance object detection of the ARS430 FM includes object tracking, object validation and classification of cars, trucks, motorcycles, bicycles, and pedestrians.
- CAN Interface: The high-speed CAN interface of the ARS430 FM can be configured to 500 kbps or 1 Mbps depending on the external system requirements. A maximum output of up to 100 tracked objects is possible.
- Object Filtering:
With additional filter settings, it is possible to filter out further objects with defined properties like velocity, classification, or radar cross section. These filters can be used to reduce the required CAN bus load of a single ARS 430 FM sensor.
The ARS 430 FM offers various filter options for the object output. The integrated 4-point polygon filter allows a flexible “area of interest” definition to filter out irrelevant objects. Area Monitring: The radar can monitor up to 8 configurable polygon areas and provides a warning signal in case an object is detected inside these areas.
- Multi Sensor Setup: Up to 8 sensors can be set up for operation in the same CAN network without message collision. With the 360 ° flexible mounting on a vehicle, the tracked objects from multiple sensors can directly be output in the same vehicle coordinate system.
