A REVIEW OF PHILOSOPHICAL CONSIDERATIONS IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF RADAR BRAKE SYSTEMS

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has been involved in an investigation into the economic and technical feasibility of applying radar devices as sensors for automatic braking systems. The technical feasibility study included such topics as radiation hazards, intersystem blinding effects, performance restrictions imposed by common highway geometries, effects of precipitation on signal propagation, and analysis of vehicular radar cross sections. /GHRL/
