Descripció del contingut i pla d'activitats:
The aim of the project is to design a system to characterize the reflectivity magnitude of a vehicle target for Advanced Driver Assistance Systems testing and its reduction as the sensor approaches the object, in compliance with National Highway Traffic Safety Administration requirements. The system should be fully autonomous and utilize an automotive-grade radar, to be implemented on a LaunchPad platform.



This project requires the development of hardware to enable the automatic variation of the sensor's height, as well as software in python or C++ to integrate the position data of the LaunchPad with the radar signal received. The software will also coordinate the height and position of the sensor during operation.



The goal is to obtain reflectivity data on an SD card, which can be easily processed to generate a reflectivity graph. This graph will be used to evaluate whether the target complies with the required specifications.
 
Overview (resum en anglès):
The aim of this project is to develop an automated system to evaluate the radar reflectivity of targets used in ADAS testing following NHTSA requirements. The system uses a mobile platform equipped with an automotive grade radar to validate that each target maintains the required properties after each impact, ensuring it properly simulates a real vehicle. Existing equipment from the ADAS department at Applus Idiada was integrated with minimal modifications to build the system. The final solution is modular and reliable, offering a practical and simple alternative to commercial options. This work was done in collaboration with Applus Idiada, focusing on meeting the company's needs.
