Introduction

Advanced Driver Assistance Systems or vehicle-based intelligent safety systems are currently in a phase of transition. In order for ADAS systems to deliver on the promise of reduced vehicle collisions, the automotive ecosystem requires higher performance sensors. There is a clear requirement to adopt more advanced radar approaches into automotive applications and novel signal processing algorithms are required to exploit all possible information from the radar measurements. This workshop will consider how volume deployment can be achieved and how systems can mitigate interference in dense urban use-cases.

Workshop Goals

What are the next steps for radar within the evolution of driver assistance towards highly automated vehicles and autonomous driving?
What are the specific challenges for radar in dense urban areas?
What part will machine learning, artificial intelligence and big data play?
How will interference mitigation be managed as radar penetration increases?
How can simulation and validation systems help drive advanced safety systems into production?
