Description
Urban1
7.5 m
3.5 m
20–50 km/h
100 ms
Urban alley street with trees on both sides and parked cars on the adjacent side, mixed use by cars, buses and bicyclists, sensor placement in a horizontal distance of 1 m to curb
Urban2
8 m
3.5 m
20–40 km/h
100 ms
Sensor placement behind sidewalk, distance to curb 2 m, mixed use by cars, buses and bicyclists, reflective trash containers on adjacent side
Urban3
7 m
5 m
20–50 km/h
100 ms
Typical “urban canyon” with large buildings on both side close to the street and narrow sidewalks, distance to curb 20 cm
TestTrack
-
>15 m
3.5 m
5–100 km/h
50–100 ms
Automotive test track without reflective objects, only asphalted road surface in sensor range, low rate of vehicles passing by with highly different speeds
The distance range is the distance from the ground projection point of the sensor position to the curb side or delimiter of the adjacent street side. For the calculation of the time-of-flight equivalent distance, both this sensor distance range and the mounting height have to be incorporated.
