ADAS를 지원하는 무인 타겟 이동 시스템의 개발

An automatic unmanned target object carrying system (AUTOCS) is developed for testing car radar and vision sensors. When developing ASV and ADAS systems with radar or vision sensors, it is important to provide the real-like moving targets. The sensors are expected to detect moving targets such as pedestrians, motorcycles and vehicles. The AUTOCS is developed to carry those targets with desired speed at the desired location; however the AUTOCS is not supposed to be detected by the sensors, so the sensors will recognize only the motorcycle or the pedestrian which is mounted on the AUTOCS not the AUTOCS itself. The users of the AUTOCS mounts the targets such as human-size manikin on the top of the carrying system, and remotely drives the carrying system. The AUTOCS is designed to have stealth shape. The radar cross section is low enough to be undetected by car radar, so the only RCS(Radar Cross Section) appears on the radar is the mounted object is. Also, the outside color pattern of the AUTOCS is designed to resemble the asphalt road, so it is hard for the vision sensors algorithms to recognize the AUTOCS as a moving target. The AUTOCS has three control functions - remote control, path following and replay path - so multiple AUTOCS can run pre-defined path as the test scenario defines.
