AWR1243BOOST: AWR1243 for Road traffic classification

Srinivasa Katuri
Prodigy 40 points
Part Number: AWR1243BOOST
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: AWR1243,

Dear TI Team ,

We are a R&D team trying to build a Traffic density/ participant classification  POC using AWR1243 BOOST evaluation board ( classes are Pedestrian, 2-Wheeler, 3-Wheeler , Passenger car , Truck , etc, )  , the kit was mounted on traffic pole of height approximately 5 to 15m with tiled angle towards ground looking to monitor traffic flow .  We are unable to get the range and subsequently unable to classify targets beyond 4mts , 

Q1. Can we use AWR1243 Boost evel kit for traffic participant classification as the mounting is different than ADAS/AD applications ?

Q2. How do we get the max range for covering single and multiple lanes ?.

Thanks 

Srinivas

    Hi,

    Since we have not performed testing for this type of application, our team is not able to provide you with a definite answer.

    The AWR1243BOOST EVM can definitely be used to detect objects beyond 4m. However I don't know if the point cloud generated will be sufficient for you to perform desired classification. You would have to capture raw data and create algorithms for this application

    Usually for algorithm development we recommend the following

    1) Define a chirp configuration that will work for your needs.

    2) Learn how to develop a small LUA script to program the chirp configuration with mmWave Studio tool

    3) Use the defined chirp configuration for collecting raw data. You will need a DCA1000 capture card to capture raw ADC data with AWR1243BOOST

    4) Use matlab integrated post processing in mmWave studio for initial assesment of the data (range FFT, point cloud visualization....)

    5) Use further custom post processing functions that you will develop in matlab, python or other higher level languages

    For each step there are many past discussion in the forum. We encourage you to search it using goolge site search as follows:

    For example, information about chirp configuration:

    "site e2e.ti.com mmwave max range"

    Good luck with your evaluation

    thank you
