(Source: Qorvo) Sensor Comparison Great compliment to other sensors • Precise Secure Distance • Data Communication • Vehicle Identification • Low Complexity/Price • Small Size • High Frame Rate The accuracy, reliability, and fast update rate of UWB can enable very rapid reaction times among vehicles. In some cases, UWB could even replace more expensive and computationally complex camera systems for vehicle coordination and obstacle detection (Figure 9). Conclusion Today, there is a gap in capability left open by currently- deployed automotive sensor technologies. Fortunately, there is a recently updated wireless sensing technology available to fill this gap by delivering a low-cost, high-update-rate, very accurate, compact distance/location sensing solution paired with relatively high data rate communications. UWB is poised to unleash a vast array of potential applications from V2V communications to passenger safety sensing. And the best is yet to come, as future UWB technologies will be developed as it becomes more widely spread and integrated into vehicles and smartphones. ... the best is yet to come, as future UWB technologies will be developed...
