Radar technology is widely accepted in automotive vehicles as one of the main reliable players in safety and object detection. However, there are no active radar signals or signs for the existing radar sensors and currently all traffic signals and signs are optical. Metra Sign is developing Radar Traffic Signs that can be detected by radar sensors in different situations. This active Radar Sign is applied to a wide range of traffic signaling conditions including warning or flashing radar signals. Radar Signs can be mounted in roadsides and intersections to improve the warning systems of collision prevention by reducing the human errors.
Beside automobile sensors, traffic signals and signs play an important role in road safety and traffic management. Conventional traffic signals and signs are the main safety measure for vehicles, pedestrians, and roads. Unfortunately, they can be easily obscured in harsh weather. With the growth of connected vehicle technology, V2X becomes a solution in the rapid rise of autonomous industry. However, this technology needs robust wireless communication. The highly dynamic environment, and the mobility factor appear to be challenging for real-time implementation of V2X. The security and privacy issues are also key concerns in V2X, like other wireless technologies. To overcome the drawbacks of the conventional traffic signs and V2X, Metra Sign introduces the Radar Traffic Sign which is completely secure and reliable and can work in adverse weather.
