22 Smart Mobility and the Technologies Paving the Way
A
s automakers strive for five-star safety ratings, the pressure
is to develop safer, advanced driver-assisted vehicles. The
safety-related benefits of automotive radar, new autonomous
vehicle development requirements, and emerging safety
requirements from organizations such as the new car assessment
program (NCAP), have triggered rapid growth with steep
implementation challenges for car makers and other radar focused
developers. Adopting these once-premium safety features into
mainstream production lines fuels a need for faster time to market.
Rapidly Prototype High-Performance
Automotive Radar
NXP Semiconductorss has developed a radar reference design
targeted for adaptive cruise control (ACC) and automatic
emergency braking (AEB) applications to help automakers meet
these needs. Built-in collaboration with Colorado Engineering,
the NXP RDK-S32R274 radar solution features the S32R27
processor, the TEF810x CMOS transceiver, and the FS8410 power
management IC. The open and flexible development platform
is designed to help automakers
accelerate time to market by
lowering entry barriers to radar
application development
with hardware, software,
and tools that ease radar
implementations.
