CoRaLi-DAR
CoRaLi-DAR aims at developing an advanced detection and ranging sensor system based on a collaborative scheme, incorporating on the same module both radio and light-based sensing. The LiDAR and RADAR chip will be integrated on the same printed circuit board (PCB) avoiding any use of free space optics. The proposed architecture will allow an active cooperation of the two sensors through an advanced algorithm installed on the processing unit (PU). With this approach we exploit the LiDAR’s high-resolution capabilities, and the RADAR’s strong reliability in adverse weather conditions; reducing power consumption, packaging size and manufacturing cost compared to the state of the art.
Applications:
The proposed CoRaLi-DAR system will be developed focusing on the automotive market, more specifically for ADAS applications (advanced driver assistance systems). The functionalities of detection and ranging that will be performed by this sensor system can serve a key role in enhancing driving safety and aid us in moving closer to fully autonomous driving.
