Virtual Autonomous Drive

The simulation of a complete car including its subsystems is an objective of automobile manufactures and its supplier industry. Commercial software tools already support the development of driver assistance systems and are continuously further developed. However, the use of sophisticated wave propagation (WP) simulations for the prediction of the radio or radar channel is not yet common in system simulations, which are used in the car industry. Within the frame of research projects, the car industry supports the development of such system simulations, which also cover the simulation of the wave propagation for radar operation including targets.

Such system simulations are especially beneficial, if interference between automotive radars is investigated. The number of radars on the street, geometry of environment and number and types of objects can be increased arbitrarily in simulations, and therefore meaningful results can be derived.

Here we would like to present some part of our simulation result for virtually test the radar systems.
