Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a radar module mounted on a vehicle, and more particularly, to a vehicle radar module for detecting an offset error in a lateral direction of a radar using a low pass filter (LPF) .
2. Description of the Related Art Generally, a radar system of a vehicle radiates an electromagnetic wave in a transmission unit and analyzes an electromagnetic wave reflected from an object or an object to estimate a distance and a speed with respect to the object.
The radar can be classified into a Doppler radar using a continuous wave RADAR, a frequency modulation continuous wave (FMCW) radar, a pulse doppler using a pulse wave RADAR, There are radar (pulse Doppler RADAR) and pulse compression RADAR.
Based on the radar system, the transmitted signal is reflected from the detected object and the reflected signal is converted into a frequency characteristic such as a frequency, a signal bandwidth, a signal intensity, Time and other characteristics.
In addition, the Smart Adaptive Cruise Control system today is equipped with a radar and is accelerating and decelerating so as to keep the inter-vehicle distance constant during cruise control by receiving the distance from the front car.
In addition, when the vehicle is traveling at a low speed, a control technique is developed to assist the driver in driving the road in a road area where a low-speed dedicated acceleration / deceleration auxiliary system (Traffic Jam Assist: TJA) have.
However, in the case of the TJA system, precise transverse position information of the front vehicle is required. If the center position of the front vehicle is not followed accurately, the vehicle may be continuously driven to the left or right of the front vehicle.
The embodiment of the present invention attempts to reduce the offset error that may occur when following the lateral position of the front vehicle from the radar signal of the radar module.
According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a radar system including a radar sensor unit for transmitting and receiving a radar signal, a communication unit for receiving a vehicle speed and a yaw rate value, And a control unit for decreasing a lateral offset error of the radar signal when it is determined that the vehicle is running straight ahead on the basis of the vehicle speed and the yaw rate value and the front vehicle is located below a predetermined distance based on the radar signal A radar module may be provided.
Further, the lateral offset error of the radar signal can be calculated based on the lateral position value of the front vehicle and the radar transverse output value transmitted from the radar sensor unit.
In addition, the control unit may calculate a difference value obtained by passing the lateral position value of the front vehicle through two low-pass filters having different gains and a radar sensor output value transmitted from the radar sensor unit to two low- It can be determined that the offset error has occurred if the difference value acquired through the pass filter is smaller than a preset threshold value.
In addition, when the controller determines that the offset error has occurred, the control unit may add a lateral vibration to the transmitted radar signal.
According to another aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method for controlling a vehicle, comprising: transmitting and receiving a radar signal; receiving a vehicle speed and a yaw rate value; Determining whether the vehicle is traveling straight ahead on the basis of the vehicle speed and the yaw rate value, and determining whether a preceding vehicle is located at a predetermined distance or less based on the radar signal; And decreasing a lateral offset error of the radar signal when the vehicle is in a straight run and the front vehicle is judged to be located at a predetermined distance or less.
The lateral offset error of the radar signal can be calculated based on the lateral position value of the front vehicle and the lateral output value of the transmitted radar signal.
Also, a difference value obtained by passing the lateral position value of the front vehicle through two low-pass filters having different gains and a radar sensor output value transmitted from the radar sensor unit may be divided into two low-pass filters having different gains It is possible to determine that the offset error has occurred if the difference value acquired by passing through the threshold value is smaller than a preset threshold value.
In addition, if it is determined that the offset error has occurred, lateral vibration can be added to the transmitted radar signal.
The embodiment of the present invention can reduce the offset error that may occur when following the lateral position of the front vehicle from the radar signal of the radar system.

The acceleration sensor 196 measures the acceleration of the vehicle and may include a lateral acceleration sensor (not shown) and an acceleration sensor (not shown).
Assuming that the lateral acceleration sensor is the X-axis of the moving direction of the vehicle, the vertical acceleration (Y-axis) direction is referred to as the lateral direction, and the lateral acceleration is measured.
The longitudinal acceleration sensor can measure the acceleration in the direction of movement of the vehicle in the X-axis direction.
The acceleration sensor 196 detects a change in velocity per unit time and senses a dynamic force such as acceleration, vibration, shock, etc., and measures the inertia force, the electric strain, and the principle of the gyro. Thereafter, the measured acceleration value can be transmitted to the
The yaw rate sensor 197 can be installed on each wheel of the vehicle and can detect the yaw rate value in real time.
The yaw rate sensor (197) has a cesium crystal element inside the sensor. When the vehicle rotates while moving, the cesium crystal element itself generates a voltage while rotating. The yaw rate of the vehicle can be sensed based on the voltage thus generated.
Then, the measured yaw rate value can be transmitted to the

Further, when the distance from the front vehicle is increased, the section (b) where the radar measurement transverse position exhibits the tilting phenomenon may occur.
Therefore, as shown in FIG. 3, when the front vehicle is located near (a), a large offset error occurs so that the vehicle can continuously travel without being followed accurately by the center of the front vehicle.

Thereafter, the main processor 32 calculates outputs 1 and 2 (S300 and S400) to determine whether an error in the lateral offset of the
Specifically, Output 1 and Output 2 can be calculated with reference to FIGS. 6 and 7. FIG.
As shown in Fig. 6, the output 1 is input to the radar lateral position value X1 of the front vehicle sensed by the
That is, the difference between the two values obtained by passing through the LPF 1 having a large gain and the LPF 2 having a small gain can be regarded as an output 1.
7, the output 2 receives the radar transverse output value X2 transmitted by the
That is, the difference between the two values obtained by passing through the LPF 1 having a large gain and the LPF 2 having a small gain can be regarded as an output 2.
At this time, if the obtained output 1 and output 2 are maintained for a predetermined time in a state where the obtained output 1 and output 2 are smaller than a preset threshold value (YES in S500), the lateral position value of the front vehicle sensed by the radar It can be judged that the offset error is likely to occur because the variation is small.
Accordingly, the
The additional vibration value is to compensate for the lateral offset error, and the lateral vibration width must not exceed half of the vehicle width to minimize the driver's discomfort. In addition, the vibration period should also be set appropriately to minimize discomfort to the driver (for example, 5 seconds or more).
Next, the memory 33 stores the program and data of the
