Automated Driving Toolbox: drivingRad​arDataGene​rator

Hello,

I'm quite new to the Automated Driving Toolbox and Radar sensors in general and aiming to create a model of a specific radar hardware. My goal is to simulate scenarios where the sensor model matches real-life performance close enough, enabling testing of controllers for example. While I've explored the Radar Signal Simulation example(https://nl.mathworks.com/help/driving/ug/radar-signal-simulation-and-processing-for-automated-driving.html), together with some other sources. I'm still in the process of understanding how to precisely model multiple sensor parameters, and specifically determining the Accuracy and Noise settings such as Resolution and bias fraction, in the driving scenario designer, for my specific radar hardware.

Any helpful tips or recommendations to explore would be greatly appreciated! :)

Hi @Tybe 1

Modeling a specific radar hardware in MATLAB's Automated Driving Toolbox involves understanding and accurately simulating the radar's key characteristics, such as range, resolution, field of view, accuracy, and noise levels.

1) Start with a thorough understanding of your radar's specification with key parameters being Range, Resolution, Field of View, Accuracy and Noise Level

2) Then use the radar specifications to configure your radar model. For example you can adjust parameters such as: RangeResolution, RangeRateResolution, AzimuthResolution.

3) You can add a systematic bias to range, angle, or velocity and also add noise to simulate real world conditions.
