Abstract
A radar system for monitoring vehicles on a roadway comprises a radar control unit a radar subsystem including one or more antennas. The radar subsystem is in communication with the radar control unit. The radar system is configured to be positioned with the one or more antennas at a single position relative to an intersection. Additionally, the radar system is configured to receive radar data from all traffic entrances into the intersection using the radar subsystem.
Claims20
A radar system for monitoring vehicles on a roadway, the radar system comprising:
- a radar control unit in communication with a plurality of radar subsystems;
- the plurality of radar subsystems rigidly affixed within a common housing, wherein each radar subsystem within the plurality of radar subsystems includes one or more antennas configured to be directed toward a different portion of an intersection;
- and
- the radar system configured to:
- be positioned at a single position relative to an intersection and affixed to a stationary object adjacent to the roadway, and
- receive radar data from all traffic entrances into the intersection using the plurality of radar subsystems.
A method for monitoring vehicles on a transportation throughfare with a radar system, the method comprising:
- positioning the radar system at a single position relative to an intersection;
- receiving, from one or more antennas within a plurality of radar subsystems, radar data from all traffic entrances into the intersection;
- and
- wherein the radar system comprises:
- a radar control unit in communication with a plurality of radar subsystems, and
- the plurality of radar subsystems rigidly affixed within a common housing, wherein each radar subsystem within the plurality of radar subsystems includes one or more antennas configured to be directed toward a different portion of an intersection.
A radar system for monitoring vehicles on a roadway, the radar system comprising:
- a radar control unit in communication with a plurality of radar subsystems;
- the plurality of radar subsystems, wherein:
- each radar subsystem within the plurality of radar subsystems includes one or more antennas configured to be directed toward a different portion of an intersection, and
- the plurality of radar subsystems are rigidly affixed within a common housing, a rigid mechanical connection between the plurality of radar subsystems having a preconfigured position of each radar subsystem to monitor a predetermined configuration of lanes at the intersection;
- and
- the radar system configured to:
- be positioned at a single position relative to an intersection, and
- receive radar data from all traffic entrances into the intersection using the plurality of radar subsystems.
