A vehicle radar system (3) including at least one transceiver arrangement (7) arranged to generate, transmit and receive reflected radar signals (4, 5) where the transmitted radar signals (4) have been reflected by an object (6 and 8). The radar system (3) is arranged to provide azimuth angle (θ) and radial velocity (vr) for a plurality of measurement points (9) at such objects (6 and 8). The radar system (3) is arranged to calculate a difference between a minimum radial velocity (Vmin′, Vmin″) and a maximum radial velocity (Vmax′, Vmax″) for the measurement points (9) for a plurality of azimuth angle intervals, and to select those azimuth angle intervals (ΔθA, ΔθB) where the difference exceeds a certain threshold.
A vehicle radar system comprising, at least one transceiver arrangement arranged in a host vehicle and configured to generate and transmit radar signals, and to receive reflected radar signals, where the transmitted radar signals have been reflected by one or more objects, where the radar system is arranged to provide an azimuth angle and a radial velocity for a plurality of measurement points at the objects, the radar system includes a processor configured to calculate a difference between a minimum radial velocity and a maximum radial velocity for the measurement points for a plurality of azimuth angle intervals, and to calculate an estimation of a relative velocity between the host vehicle and the one or more objects using the azimuth angle and the radial velocity for each of the measurement points, except for those of the measurement points corresponding to azimuth angle intervals where the difference between the minimum radial velocity and the maximum radial velocity exceeds a certain threshold.
A method for a vehicle radar system, where the method comprises the steps of:
