VEHICLE RADAR SYSTEM WITH TRAILER DETECTION

A radar object detection system (10) includes a radar sensor (20) and a controller (32). The radar sensor (20) is configured to emit a radar signal (24) toward a defined area (22) proximate to the vehicle (12), and output a reflection signal (30) indicative of a detected target (28) present in the d...

Zusammenfassung:	A radar object detection system (10) includes a radar sensor (20) and a controller (32). The radar sensor (20) is configured to emit a radar signal (24) toward a defined area (22) proximate to the vehicle (12), and output a reflection signal (30) indicative of a detected target (28) present in the defined area (22). The controller (32) is configured to receive the reflection signal (30) from the radar sensor (20), determine if the detected target (28) corresponds to a trailer (14) towed by the vehicle (12), and define an exclusion zone (34) characterized as occupied by the trailer (14) and thereby excluded from the defined area (22) where objects can be detected.
