Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A radar object detection system includes a first sensor and a controller. The first sensor emits a first radar signal toward a first area about a vehicle, and outputs a first signal indicative of detected targets proximate to the vehicle. The controller receives the first signal from the first sensor, determines when a trailer is connected to the vehicle based on the first signal, defines a shadow-zone that corresponds to a first portion of the first area obstructed by the trailer from being viewed by the first sensor, and ignores detected targets within the shadow-zone that are indicated by the first signal.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
We claim: 1 . A radar object detection system configured to detect targets proximate to a vehicle, said system comprising; a first sensor that emits a first radar signal toward a first area about a vehicle, and outputs a first signal indicative of detected targets proximate to the vehicle; a controller that receives the first signal from the first sensor, determines when a trailer is connected to the vehicle based on the first signal, defines a shadow-zone that corresponds to a first portion of the first area obstructed by the trailer from being viewed by the first sensor, and ignores detected targets within the shadow-zone that are indicated by the first signal. 2 . The system in accordance with claim 1 , wherein the system includes a second sensor that emits a second radar signal toward a second area different from the first area, and outputs a second signal indicative of detected targets proximate to the vehicle, wherein the controller receives the second signal from the second sensor, determines when a trailer is connected to the vehicle based on the first signal and the second signal, further defines the shadow-zone to correspond to an intersection area of the first portion of the first area and a second portion of the second area obstructed by the trailer from being viewed by the second sensor, and ignores detected targets within the shadow-zone that are indicated by only one of the first signal and the second signal. 3 . The system in accordance with claim 2 , wherein the second area is a mirror image of the first area taken about a longitudinal axis of the vehicle.
