This document provides a product summary of the AC20 sensor that is suitable for integration into cars and trucks. The products offered will be comfort assistance ACC system, as well as providing some meaningful steps along the road to driver warning systems. This document provides the user with information about the top functionality of this AC20 radar sensor to be fitted on a vehicle by a car or truck manufacturer The AC20 radar sensor needs a number of inputs to allow it to function correctly. These include the following Electrical Power Mounting instructions Yaw rate information Vehicle speed information The data interface to the AC20 radar sensor is via a CAN communications link.

It can also be connected to a PC running the CCP protocol [Ref. 1] for re-

programming and monitoring what is happening inside the radar sensor. The AC20 radar sensor requires yaw and vehicle speed data and will give out the distances and speeds of the vehicles in front. AC20 radar sensor Vehicle Speed &

Vehicle Information CCP PC Monitor tool or ACC controller Figure 1 - Sample System Schematic 2.1 ACC System Communications Strategy At power up, the AC20 radar sensor will automatically report the speed and relative velocity of vehicles sensed by the radar if it has received yaw and vehicle speed data. The radar requires the vehicle speed and vehicle yaw rate. This should be transmitted to the radar at an update rate of between 20mSec to 40mSec. This message is referred to as the vehicle dynamics message. CAN interfaces are detailed in a separate document Ref. [2]. These CAN interface can be customized according to customers requirements.

Vehicle speed and yaw rate are needed by the ACC radar sensor. These must be transmitted to it via the CAN bus. The ACC radar then transmits a set of messages describing vehicles in the ACC radar field of view. A message is also transmitted by the ACC radar to indicate its status. CAN interfaces are detailed in a separate document Ref. [2]. These CAN interface can be customized according to customers requirements. 4 Configuring the ACC System The AC20 radar sensor should to be mounted onto a vehicle, connected to a power supply and CAN bus. 4.1 Initial Configuration Initial configuration of the ACC system is achieved through the following steps:

1. Mount the sensor on the front of the vehicle ensuring that the connector is at the top or bottom. NOTE: Do not mount side-ways. 2. Connect a 12v power supply (see section 3.2). 3. Connect to CAN bus and PC running CANape. 4. Set the mounting orientation parameter to either 1 (connector at the top) or +1 (connector at the bottom) depending on mounting orientation. 5. Set vehicles application parameter in the radar ACC radar. 6. Connect to system transmitting yaw rate and vehicle speed. 7. Align the sensor Note that the AC20 radar sensor software will automatically compensate for driving in left or right hand drive countries after several Km of driving in traffic. 4.2 Electrical Interface 4.2.1 Power Supply The AC20 radar sensor is powered by a 12 V supply on ignition:

At the sensor end of line process a calibration procedure measures the difference between the microwave central axis and the axis of the mirror. This alignment difference is programmed into the radar as two parameters representing the inherent azimuth and elevation offsets of the sensor (AZOF and ELOF). The alignment procedure therefore requires the radar to be aligned using an optical beam process with the mirror and then a quick compensation applied in accordance with the parameters AZOF and ELOF. The equipment to carry out this procedure can easily be adapted for both the vehicle production line, as well as for in service garage re-alignment. This can be done with equipment that is already traditionally used for aligning the vehicle wheel tracking the vehicle thrust axis. Internally the radar calculates a misalignment figure. This figure is used to correct the angular measurements of the radar between the ranges of +/- 1 degree. If misalignment outside this range is identified then a system shutdown will be requested. 4.4.2 Radar Alignment Principles Ce document nest matris que sil est identifi copie matrise ou examin dune zone autorise du systme informatique dAutocruise.

This device is used in conjunction with the car or truck end of line wheel alignment equipment. A mirror on the radar along with two internal parameters provides the information required to align the radar. These parameters define the offset between the mirror axis and the microwave axis.

Installation 5 The radar should be installed on the vehicle with the constraints described below: -

The radar shall be fixed onto the vehicle chassis The radar lateral position must be located within 50cm of the vehicle The radar height must be between 0.3m and 0.7m from the vehicle rolling The static pitch of the vehicle has to be between +0.8 (upwards) and -

The dynamic pitch has to be < 1. The radar housing references are given by the normal axis of a mirror fixed on The radar housing must be set:

In azimuth, parallel 0.2 with the vehicle thrust axis, corrected with the radar azimuth offset angle (x) In elevation, parallel 0.2 to the vehicle rolling plane, corrected by the radar elevation offset angle (y) Note: the offset angles x & y are specific for each radar and indicate the location of the beam axis of the radar in azimuth and elevation referenced with the mirrors normal axis. They are measured during the Autocruise final radar verification test and stored in the radars non volatile memory. There must be a clear view in front of the radar. The requirements for both azimuth and in elevation are given in the diagram below. The shaded area must not contain materials that affect radar performance; in particular metal or carbon loaded plastics or paints.
