How to build a streamlined process for automotive radar compliance

The Radar Systems Market size is expected to grow from USD 32.34 billion in 2023 to USD 42.65 billion by 2028, at a CAGR of 5.69% during the forecast period (2023-2028) *. One of the biggest trends of this market is autonomous driving. The concept of self-driving cars has transitioned from science fiction to reality. Companies are investing in advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) to enable varying levels of automation, and autonomous vehicles promise several benefits: enhanced safety, reduced accidents, and improved traffic flow, just to mention a few.

Radars are a key component of smart vehicles and a prerequisite for autonomous driving. This type of technology enables vehicles to perceive their surroundings, make real-time decisions, and navigate complex environments. Their increasing presence with both short- and long-range frequencies allows multiple functionalities: from monitoring blind spots to providing automatic speed control and lane assistance.

The speech will provide an overview of the RADAR – Radio Detection and Ranging – technology and will explain how it uses radio waves to detect and locate objects in its vicinity. It will cover also the radar main applications and the various frequency bands, each with specific advantages and applications. Each frequency band has its trade-offs in terms of resolution, range, and ability to penetrate different materials.

Finally, the speech will provide insights about the key actions manufacturers should undertake to help ensure that radar sensor products follow the right process to adhere to specific regulations, standards and certification processes and are compliant to the specific requirements of the different countries where they will be marketed.
