NB:
The radar uses the principle of line of sight and works on the basis that part of the electromagnetic energy
emitted by the sensor is reflected off the object back to the sensor. If an object does not reflect enough
electromagnetic energy back to the sensor, it will not be detected. If there are multiple objects in the detection
zone at different distances and/or angles, the sensor detects the closest object, which is the most important for
avoiding collisions. The nature, position and direction of the object are key factors in whether or not an object
is detected. The factors influencing detection are listed below:
-Size: objects with larger surface areas are easier to detect than objects with smaller surface areas.
-Material: metal is easier to detect than non-metallic material (e.g. wood, plastic).
-Surface: a smooth, solid surface is easier to detect than rough, uneven, porous, fragmented or liquid surfaces
(e.g. bushes, gravel, water).
-Shape: a flat object is easier to detect than an object with a complex shape.
-Angle: an object directly facing the sensor (perpendicular to the sensor and facing it) is easier to detect than
an object at the edges of the detection zone or at an angle.
-Distance: an object closer to the sensor is easier to detect than an object that is further away.

3. USE
The system informs the driver when an object is detected
via visual and audible alerts. When an object enters the
system's zones, it activates a transparent visualisation
to inform the driver of the potential danger. The distance
from the object is indicated via five coloured zones on the
monitor. The distance corresponding to each zone and the
detection threshold can be customised.
The buzzer provides an audible warning in the form of a
"beep" that becomes more intense as an object approaches
to warn the driver that an object has been detected. The
monitor's internal buzzer can also provide an audible
warning.
