Comparison of Two Different Radar Concepts for Pedestrian Protection on Bus Stops

Abstract

This paper presents the joint work from the “HORIS” project, with a focus on pedestrian detection at busstops by radar sensors mounted in the infrastructure to support future autonomous driving and protecting pedestrians in critical situations. Two sensor systems are investigated and evaluated. The first based on single radar sensor phase-sensitive raw data analysis and the second based on sensor data fusion of cluster data with two radar sensors using neural networks to predict the position of pedestrians.
