A simulator for multi-user automotive radar scenarios

Radar is an essential element of state of the art advanced driver assistance systems. In the foreseeable future, radar will be an indispensable sensor for the use in affordable, automated driven cars. Simulation tools are the key for an efficient development process and hence will lower the price of sophisticated driver assistance systems. Therefore, the development of adequate simulators is important for suppliers, car makers, and final consumers. This paper introduces the concept of such a simulator for multi-user automotive radar scenarios and presents selected simulation results for a use case of radar interference.
