IWR1642BOOST: Detecting static vehicles in a defined area

Part Number: IWR1642BOOST
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: IWR1642, IWR6843, IWR6843AOP, IWR1443

Hello,

I'd like to detect stationary vehicles in a specific area (street or parking) and I have currently an IWR1642 EVM.

Does an other mmWave sensor (IWR6843 or IWR1443) could be more adequate in an embedded system to perform this detection ? And can you tell me when your IWR6843AoP will be available, and does any datasheet can already be downloaded ?

I tried using Traffic Monitoring but I realized it's more focused on motion and trajectory. Which Lab would be the closest to my objective (even at reduced scale) ? 

Thanks in advance for your help !

Regards,

Quentin

  • Hi Quentin,

    I'd recommend either the IWR6843 or the IWR1642 for this. The IWR6843 might be most appropriate for your application since it complies with many radio regulations for different countries.

    The Traffic Monitoring might be your best bet for now, I'd recommend turning static clutter removal off and re-evaluating. Let me know if you need assistance with this.

    Another lab that might be of use is the zone-occupancy/area-scanner labs that can provide a point cloud view of your scene. Again I'd recommend ensuring that static clutter removal is turned off with regards to your application.

    Unfortunately I cannot comment on IWR6843AoP at this time, but if you have questions on the standard IWR6843 then feel free to open up a new thread!

  • Hi,

    Thanks a lot for your answers ! Could you tell me where I can find informations about radio regulations in Europe ?

    I'll begin with those labs turning static clutter removal off, if I have any question I'll tell you.

    Sure, I understand. I will if I have any question regarding IWR6843, thank you !
