Calibration system for vehicle radar system

A calibration system for calibrating a radar sensing system for a vehicle, said calibration system comprising:

• a pair of spaced apart calibrating radar transmitters disposed ahead of an end of line test location where the vehicle may be positioned during assembly of the vehicle at a vehicle assembly plant;
• wherein the calibrating radar transmitters are disposed at opposite sides of the path of travel of the vehicle as it moves through the vehicle assembly plant;
• wherein the vehicle includes a radar sensor disposed at the vehicle so as to sense exterior of the vehicle;
• wherein said radar sensor comprises a plurality of radar transmitters that transmit radio signals and a plurality of receivers that receive radio signals, and wherein the received radio signals are transmitted radio signals that are reflected from an object;
• a processor operable to process an output of said receivers;
• wherein, with the vehicle at the end of line test location, said receivers of said radar sensor receive signals transmitted by said calibrating radar transmitters;
• and
• wherein, responsive to processing by said processor of the output of said receivers when receiving signals transmitted by said calibrating radar transmitters, said calibration system determines if said radar sensor is misaligned at the vehicle.

A calibration system for calibrating a radar sensing system for a vehicle, said calibration system comprising:

• a pair of spaced apart calibrating radar transmitters disposed at opposite sides of and ahead of a vehicle positioned at a test location for radar testing;
• wherein the vehicle includes a radar sensor disposed at the vehicle so as to sense forward of the vehicle;
• wherein said radar sensor comprises a plurality of radar transmitters that transmit radio signals and a plurality of receivers that receive radio signals, and wherein the received radio signals are transmitted radio signals that are reflected from an object;
• a processor operable to process an output of said receivers;
• wherein, with the vehicle at the test location, said receivers of said radar sensor receive signals transmitted by said calibrating radar transmitters transmit signals;
• wherein, responsive to processing by said processor of the output of said receivers when receiving signals transmitted by said calibrating radar transmitters, said calibration system determines if said radar sensor is misaligned at the vehicle;
• and
• wherein said processor determines misalignment based on a known position of the vehicle at the test location relative to said calibrating radar transmitters.
