Typical areas of application:

• Simple anti-collision protection for vehicles of every description (particularly autonomous)
• Headway control also for far field (vehicles of every description as cranes, construction machinery, fork lifts, tractors, harvester combines….particularly autonomous as AGV, special transporter, module transporter…)
• Collision avoidance cranes of every description e.g. STS, RTG, RMG, overhead cranes, gantry cranes…
• Area monitoring system for far field, e.g. of hazardous or non-accessible areas
• Unremarkable object detection by affix a protection cover before it
• Classification of objects (app. 90 single targets)
• Traffic light approximation recognition, classification of objects (app. 90 single targets)
• Object detection, e.g. in confusing or unclear areas
• General distance and speed monitoring
• Road traffic technology e.g. traffic light approximation recognition
• Rail traffic technology, approximation aid for bumper

 Measuring procedure:

The rugged  ARS 300  sensor from  A.D.C.  measures independent the distance and velocity (Doppler's principle)  to objects without reflector in one measuring cycle due basis of  FMCW (Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave) with very fast ramps, with a real time scanning of 15 / sec.. A special feature of the device is the simultaneously measurement of great distances up to 200 m, relative velocity and the angle relation between 2 objects.

 Advantages:

• Fast and save: The ARS 300 dispels with the apparent contradiction between excellent great measuring performance and a high degree of operational safety.  The rugged ARS 300 radar sensor is capable of determining the distance to an object in real time scanning and dependent on the driving speed a possible risk of collision.
• Reliable:  The  ARS 300  radar sensor is fail-safe and able to recognize troubles of the sensor and sensor environment and display it automatically. Without use of filter it is possible to detect no ghost targets – every target is a real target. The ARS 300 is applicable at all weather conditions and has only low performance losses in extreme situations (all-weather capability).
• Cost-efficient:  By using a  radar technology with less complex  measuring principle  and the development and mass production in automotive supply industry, the costs are kept low.

 Interfaces:

The device is fitted with one CAN bus interface as standard. Further interfaces, software adaption, housing and / or hardware adaption are possible on demand and in case of assumption of costs or could be realized by the customer itself. The ARS 300 also could be used for complex measuring tasks.
