sensing in Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) to realise L2/L3 applications by providing direct measurement of range, velocity and angle of arrival in azimuth and elevation. It offers a safer, efficient, and easier driving experience which is built upon FMCW MIMO technology in the millimeter wave (mmWave) 77-81 GHz band utilising a wide 4GHz bandwidth. It can detect object structure and is generally unaffected by harsh operating conditions such as rain, snow, fog, and ambient lighting. Key Features:

Efficient, screw-less enclosure design that incorporates cutting-edge mmWave radar optimised material for the housing, along with an E-coated, cast aluminium alloy back plate which can act as a heatsink to the sensor module. Achieves both IP67 & IPx9k rating. Withstands harsh operating environment, low profile for easy integration and can be hidden behind radome panels. CAN-FD enabled, 77 GHz FMCW radar sensor with 3 transmitters and 4 receivers and can be configured to run multiple custom radar modes triggered by CAN commands. Multiple radars can be used on a single bus to create a complete system to support a suite of ADAS features. Antenna-on-mezzanine multi-PCBA design enables flexibility on RF design and implementation of antenna array options. Software defined simultaneous ultra-short range, medium-range and long-range radar application. Advanced Driver Assist Systems (ADAS) Applications Proximity Warning Blind Spot Monitoring Cross Traffic Alert Parking Assist Collision Warning VRU detection Automated Urban Driving Automated Highway Driving 1 2 Product profile 2.1 Description Figure 1: Radar proximity sensor block diagram As depicted in figure above, the sensor comprises two printed circuit board assemblies (PCBA) namely RF Board and Host Board which are connected internally through a board-to-board connector. The sensor interfaces with rest of the system through an external connector which brings power and system communication bus to the sensor. The sensor can operate from a wide input voltage range, 12 36 VDC, and communicates with rest of the system over twisted pair cable using Controller Area Network Flexible Data-Rate (CAN-FD) data-communication protocol. 2.2 Specification Electrical Operating voltage Power rating Communication Interface 10VDC ~ 14VDC(Nominal 12VDC) 22VDC ~ 26VDC(Nominal 24VDC) 12.5W Physical layer Twisted pair differential signal Protocol Data rate Controller Area Network Flexible Data-Rate (CAN-FD) upto 5mbps Object detection - Azimuth Type Static and Dynamic Range measurement Velocity measurement 0.05 - 225 m 0 - 92 kmph Azimuth beamwidth

Connect the PEAK PCAN USB adapter to a free USB port on the laptop. Open a Linux Bash terminal and go to the $HOME/Arrival folder Run the following script to initialize the Host CAN interface sudo ./can_bring_up.sh Power the RPSS device and wait for 20 seconds. Run the CAN Transmit GUI application

./tx_gui.py 2.5.2 Running Graphical User Interface Select A1 for the target RPSS sensor using the toggle button. Select the USRR sensor operating mode (USRR is the default in the dropdown list). Click on the Execute transmit command button to run the selected sensor using the selected mode. Sensor activation log messages should show up in the white panel status. Click on the Start visualization button to display the sensors visualization using the ROS/Rviz external tool. You should see point clouds detected by the red 3D box (A1 RPSS device) on the visualization. 4 Click on the Start range profiles button to display the sensors range profile external GUIs. You should see a range profile graph showing on the Red sensor Range Profile window only.

(1) Select A1 RPS sensor
