Other Parts Discussed in Thread: IWR6843ISK, AWR1642
Tool/software:
Our team is working on a short project that involves keeping a count of the number of cars inside the Indoor Car Parkade. We plan to implement this by placing a sensor at the entrance to detect incoming and outgoing vehicles (while trying NOT to detect persons or bikes), and then adding and subtracting from the count.
Currently, we are looking at a sensor that seems to be well under the project budget, as well as fitting for the project, and that is the AWR1642BOOST.
Regarding the specific requirements, I will try to answer as detailed as I can with the information our group has collected so far:
- It is a double lane entrance/exit with a total width inclusive of both lanes of around 7.5m
- We are planning to implement a count function, with adding and subtracting from the total count based on how many vehicles enter/exit the Parkade
- An important factor to take into account is the mitigation of accidental detection (bikes, pedestrians, other inanimate objects) || we also want to factor in occlusion and tailgating episodes and see how best we can address that as well
For the last point, we are considering implementing velocity thresholds (excluding anything slower than xxkm/h) and width+RCA overrides in cases of slow cars. We wanted to know if the 1642BOOST has any functionality that allows us to tune the sensor to implement these restrictions. In case the velocity threshold works, we also wanted to know what value would be appropriate to distinguish between cars,bikes and persons.
Edit: We have also been recommended to use the IWR6843ISK in Parking Garage Sensor Demo, but unable to confirm if it can do the above tasks as well.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you!
