Abstract

The inter-vehicles communication is becoming increasingly mandatory to improve the road safety and to allow a better transport management. The concept behind an intelligent vehicle consists in equipping this vehicle with an optimum number of sensors, in order to perceive the environment surrounding it and to ensure an automatic guidance control and the communication with the infrastructure and other vehicles. Among the most often used tools for this objective, we can cite the embedded radar. Moreover, the Ultra Wide Band (UWB) communication systems are under fast development and undergo progressive implementation. The principle of UWB technology is to transmit rather low power, carrier-less, signals occupying a very broad spectrum [1]. The spectral concentration of radiated power is thus extremely low, so that the other systems perceive UWB ones like background noise. In this article, a road radar based on UWB technology is studied. The proposed device allows, in a road environment, good resolution and increased precision for detection and localization of obstacles.
