Abstract
Traffic safety can be improved by detecting the road
surface condition using automotive radar. This paper
describes two 24 GHz measurement systems for
investigating the backscattering properties of different
asphalt surfaces e.g. dry, wet and icy surfaces. The
first system is used for measurements in a controlled
environment and the second one is installed into a test
vehicle. Measurement results from dry, wet and icy
asphalt are presented together with results obtained from
asphalt covered with tree leaves. The ultimate objective
of the road condition detection radar is to estimate the
road surface friction.
