5 Presentation of system and technology

5.1 Background Radar sensors for supporting the driver of a vehicle have been under development by companies in Europe, the United States and Asia for several decades [i.18]. Early prototypes were operated in various frequency ranges such as 10 GHz, 16 GHz, 24 GHz, 35 GHz, 50 GHz or 94 GHz.

ETSI

ETSI TR 103 593 V0.0.110 (2018-06)8

Then, in 1996, the first series busses and trucks were equipped in the United States with front and side looking collision warning radars, operating at approximately 10 GHz and 24 GHz.

A few years later, the first series cars were equipped with

- front looking radars for adaptive cruise control, operating in the band 76-77 GHz, - rear corner radars for parking support and blind spot detection, operating in the 24 GHz ultra-wideband range

rear corner radars for blind spot detection and lane change assistance, operating in the 24 GHz narrow band range.

Since then, advances in RF circuit integration, advances in microcontroller performance and advances in software algorithms helped to further improve the sensor performance, to add additional assistance functions and to reduce the sensor price so that today millions of 24 GHz (narrow band) and 76-77 GHz radar sensors per year are installed in new vehicles, ranging from small city cars up to luxury cars.

Paragraph on usage of terms SRR/ MRR/ LRR , usage is inconsistent over the years. Target to align and make consistent

In part this trend is motivated by governments setting mandatory requirements for car manufacturers to include features like AEB (Automatic Emergency Breaking, Pedestrian Detection (VRU-AEB), or product rating agencies like Euro NCAP by assigning higher ratings if safety functions are available as optional or standard equipment. (see [i.23], [i.24], [i.25])

Current development roadmaps foresee further price/performance improvements of a single sensor but also the fusion of several radar sensors and other environment perception sensors to achieve a sensing performance powerful enough for automated driving. Highly automated [L3-L4 autonomous driving levels as described in section 5.4] and fully automated cars [L5] are expected to provide new forms and modes of transportation, changing the way mobility is provided. To ensure safety in highly automated vehicles and fully automated vehicles, multiple technologies will be required to perceive and access the driving environment. High robustness will be critical to providing safe & reliable transportation. New mobility services such as shared ownership and ride sharing will increase the actual usage time of devices included on these platforms due to higher utilization.

In parallel, over time the radio regulation for automotive radars has been developed in Europe and other regions worldwide. Starting with 24 GHz narrowband (see [i.1], [i.2], which has been available for a long time as a ISM band, followed by 76-77 GHz between 1991 and 2002 (see [i.3], [i.4], [i.5]), 24 GHz Ultra-wideband between 2002 and 2011 (see [i.6], [i.7], [i.12], [i.13], [i.14], [i.15]) and finally 79 GHz ultra-wideband in 2004 (see [i.8], [i.9], [i.10], [i.11],

The underlying regulation for automotive radars in the frequency range 77-81 GHz ([i.10], [i.11]) was developed and introduced in 2004 on the basis of non-interference/ non-protection, with accordingly very stringent limits from [i.9] to protect primary radio services (e.g. Radioastronomie, Radiolocation).

It has should be noted that in the Radio Regulations (RR) there has since been for many years a primary allocations to the Radiolocation service from 76-77,5 GHz and from 78-81 GHz. At the World Radio Conference 2015, the gap 77,5-78 GHz was allocated to the Radiolocation Service on a co-primary basis including but limited to ground based vehicles radars as outlined in the RR Footnote 5.559B [i.21]:

“The use of the frequency band 77.5-78 GHz by the radiolocation service shall be limited to short-range radar for ground-based applications, including automotive radars. The technical characteristics of these radars are provided in the most recent version of Recommendation ITU-R.M.2057. The provisions of No. 4.10 do not apply.”

The frequency range 77-81 GHz plays a key role for future radar sensors because of its large available bandwidth. In 01/2018 Recommendation ITU-R M.2057-1 has beenwas published [i.22 ] providing updates for the systems characteristics of automotive radars operating in the frequency band 76 - 81 GHz for intelligent transport systems applications.

But for several reasons, so far up to 2018 , no automotive radar sensor for the range 77 – 81 GHz was placed on the market:

a) For many years, the RF circuit technology was not powerful enough to support that range at acceptable cost. With the introduction of SiGe and CMOS RF devices some years ago that situation now has improved. Especially the migration to CMOS based RF technologies, permit the integration of RF and processing capabilities within devices, significantly reducing the cost for radar devices. These SoC (system on Chip)

reference to subsection platforms provide the ability to implement digital modulations to significantly improve the efficient and effective use of spectrum through coding schemes. Improvements in technology facilitate sophisticated technics to enhance mutual co-existence between multiple devices utilizing both transmitter and receiver interference mitigation and ejection, such as code correlation, permitting higher densities of devices to securely and safely co-exist in close proximity.

b) For many years, a regulation of that band was not available in important automotive markets outside Europe. With the decision of World Radio Conference 2015 that situation started to improve as seen for example by the recent respective new regulation in the United States and in other regions and countries. (see Annex B).

c) The European regulation was drafted in 2004 ([i.10], [i.11]) with the intention only for parking support and blind-spot detection and as such does not necessarily meet current use cases. The use cases for application of radar technology include the need for multi-mode capability – effectively the characteristics of both short range and long range devices – in a single unit to support effective solutions for safety enhancement in ground based vehicles. These needs are more general and include also functions with larger detection ranges and thus larger required transmit power.

[d)] The current regulation ([i.10], [i.11]) contains a mean power density limit of -9 dBm/MHz e.i.r.p. defined outside the vehicle which creates the difficult split responsibility with respect to ensuring sensor compliance because the sensor manufacturer does not manufacture the bumper fascia.

d)[e)] The European regulation also deviates from regulations in other regions of the world (see Annex B), increasing the development effort for sensor manufacturers and thus making such a product less attractive.

e) The use of the band 76-77 GHz is in the meanwhile permitted in Europe for a wide range of radar applications (Annex 5 of [i.1] for ground based vehicles, infrastructure systems, obstacle detection radars for rotorcraft use; Annex 4 of [i.1] for obstruction/vehicle detection at railway level crossings), which creates a more general spectrum use in this band with more potential interferers for all radars. This evolution of use in the 76-77 GHz was not foreseen when the 77-81GHz regulation was developed.

To overcome these weaknesses and to foster the further development of driver assistance systems it is proposed here to further develop the European regulation for automotive radars in the range 77 – 81 GHz as described in detail in the following sections.

Summary/ reference to situation in 76-77GHz:

Editors Note : Give reasons why 76-77GHz regulation is better example: no bumper / higher power levels / similar requirements world wide

Editors Note: Reference whether this is correct for the 77-81 GHz band. [Confirmation that automotive radars devices in this bandwidth have not been submitted for and granted FECC certification, and placed on the market needs to be confirmed ].

5.2 Vehicle safety programmes There are several vehicle testing organisations, which rate the available vehicles based on various defined standards. The OEMs are usually interested in fulfilling all requirements of the standards in order to get good ratings for their vehicles. The testing organisations have already developed tests to assess the safety functions that are available for the vehicles. The test organisations develop the test requirements taking into account historical accident and fatality

ETSI

ETSI TR 103 593 V0.0.110 (2018-06)10

data, the associated state of available technologies, the expected impact of improvements of enhanced driver awareness and/or controlled intervention. In many instances, features have migrated from providing driver warnings (LDW, FCW) to providing automatic reaction to known high collision risk scenarios (LKS, AEB) involving control of the vehicle’s braking or steering system.

5.2.1 New Car Assessment Programs (NCAP) NCAP is one of the most important vehicle testing programme working on several regions worldwide. In Europe, the Euro NCAP is developing feature requirements, performance & test requirements and time schedules when they will be included in the tests. These roadmaps are communicated as targeted implementation dates against which OEMs develop technology application strategies to achieve desired ratings for their vehicles. Generally, OEMs target to make available the technology to reach the maximum possible rating, while also supporting consumer choice with packages including safety technology bundled into available optional content. . [i.XX] Editors note: reference reference to the NCAP website / EU

5.2.2 Euro NCAP

Euro NCAP is a voluntary vehicle safety rating system created by the Swedish Road Administration, the Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile and International Consumer Research & Testing, and backed by the European Commission, seven European governments, as well as motoring and consumer organizations in every EU country.

The program is modelled after the New Car Assessment Program (NCAP), introduced in 1979 by the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Other areas with similar (but not identical) programmes include Australia and New Zealand with ANCAP, Latin America with Latin NCAP and China with C-NCAP.

Figure X gives an overview of the current timeline for the implementation of new safety related radar based functions in the Euro NCAP tests. [i.XX] Editors note: reference to the Euro NCAP website

Figure X: Euro NCAP Feature Roadmap thru 2025

5.2.3 US NCAP Within the USA, the Department of Transportation’s (DOT), National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) administers the New Car Assessment Program (NCAP). Most recently [i.25], NHTSA has conducted requests for comment on proposals for changes to the NCAP requirements for 2018 and beyond. While the US-NCAP proposals mirror the Euro NCAP in several areas, test procedures and priorities reflect analysis of the past accidents data to affect the greatest potential benefit considering conditions in the US market. Similarly, NCAP regulations in other regions reflect the unique conditions in the market, including local supply availability, setting priorities and timetables for implementation. For global OEM’s, features supporting the global NCAP portfolio of capabilities and performance requirements are necessary. Accordingly, automotive radar technologies require regulatory modification to support the increasing demands for broader perception capabilities to achieve the safety enhancement desired cost effectively.

The relevant NCAP testing organisations publish safety reports on new cars, and award 'star ratings' based on the performance of the vehicles in a variety of crash tests, including front and side impacts, collisions with posts, and impacts with pedestrians. The top overall rating is five stars.

Testing is not mandatory, with vehicle models being independently chosen by Euro NCAP or voluntarily submitted for testing by the manufacturers.[9]

In Europe, new cars are certified as legal for sale under the Whole Vehicle Type Approval regime that does not always apply the same requirements as Euro NCAP. Euro NCAP has stated their position as “Legislation sets a minimum compulsory standard whilst Euro NCAP is concerned with best possible current practice. Progress with vehicle safety legislation can be slow, provides no further incentive to improve, whereas Euro NCAP provides a continuing incentive by regularly enhancing its assessment procedures to stimulate further improvements in vehicle safety.” Editors note: add the reference for this quote

Figure XX provides a more detailed information of the already in the EuroU NCAP included tests for radar based safety functions and the timeline for the implementation of the tests for more sophisticated radar based functions.

Recently, the European Commission has issued a proposal [i.23] for the mandatory inclusion of multiple ADAS technologies The current proposal addresses the main problem of persistent high number of road accidents that in turn leads to a high number of fatalities and severe injuries and provides measures to increase safety at vehicle level so as to either avoid and lower the number of accidents or lower the severity of un-avoided accidents to limit the number of fatalities and severe injuries. [i.24]Editors note: Helmut to check if this is a direct quote from [i.24]

Figure XXX: European Commission views on the need for regulatory action

The Commission is proposing that within 3 years all new models introduced on the market must have 11 advanced safety features, such as:

In Germany, currently series cars up to level 2 are allowed to be used on the roads. First series cars are available carrying all technology to in principle also support level 3. For levels 4 and 5, fleets of test cars are collecting data on especially assigned roads.

With increasing automation level, the number of sensors needed in a car considerably increases for redundancy reasons and measurement accuracy reasons. Typically, these types of sensors are used:

Radar Lidar Video

By additionally using communication between vehicles the data set used by a car to decide on its next actions can be further improved.

Fig. Y shows an example configuration of these sensors on a car.

Figure Y: Example configuration of sensors on an autonomous vehicle (Level 3-4).

With an increasing number of radar sensors on the roads, the avoidance of interference becomes more and more challenging.

Typical approaches to handling interference are:

adapting the timing of a sensor (limited by period after which the car needs an update from the sensor on the environmental situation, typically 40 – 100ms)

adapting the frequency range used by a sensor (limited by frequency regulation). repairing disturbed receive signals. In the signal processing chain.

Editors note: end of review June 28th drafting meeting

To have enough frequency range available for adapting the frequency range it is important to also use MRR and LRR in the range 77 GHz – 81 GHz. (See 5.1 bullet f)

ETSI

ETSI TR 103 593 V0.0.110 (2018-06)16

But this is only possible if the current European regulation for the range 77 GHz – 81 GHz is revised as proposed in this document.

7.1 Detailed technical description Frank Ernst will have a look at that and rephrase the text to become more neutral, and to avoid copy right issues –verify whether the paragraphs require their own sub heading

Refer to automotive radars , descriptions

Integrated mm-wave technology has evolved since the making available of the band. Today, among several semiconductor manufacturers, for example the company Texas Instruments offers highly integrated MMICs covering the frequency range 76 GHz – 77 GHz and 77 GHz – 81 GHz with very similar fundamental RF properties [i.219]:

Editors note: check with TI for copy right issues : literature can be referenced , but data sheets cannot be referenced

Transmitter output power typ. 12 dBm (76 – 81 GHz) Receiver noise figure typ. 15 dB (76 - 77 GHz), typ. 16 dB (77 - 81 GHz).

This means that technically similar radar performance can be realizsed in the range 77 GHz – 81 GHz as is realizsed in the range 76 GHz – 77 GHz.

In addition ITU-R Recommendation M.2057 [i.22] provides characteristics of automotive radars operating in the frequency band 76 - 81 GHz for intelligent transport systems applications.

79GHz radars are also required for autonomous driving for midrange. Therefore the same transmit properties as for 76GHhz radars are needed.

7.1.1 Influence of the bumper fasciaMr John will work on this section

The bumper fascia is the plastic cover that might be painted of the metal bumper of a vehicle.

AnOne advantage of radar sensors against other automotive environmental sensors is that they can be installed behind the bumper fascia, invisible from the outside. Making it possible to install these sensors virtually everywhere at the vehicle allowing for 360 degrees detection .Bumper loss depending on bumper material and coating. The bumper fascia normally consists of several layers, see example in Fig. X.

Editors note: add picture here to show the layer structure (Pfeifer PhD Thesis ) In the production of a bumper :

Figure XX: Dependency of dielectric susceptibility from weight content of metal (aluminium) inside the paint [i.320].

If during production errors are observed in the painting, then the layer stack of base coat, paint and clear coat is repeated up to two times, giving then a total of up to 10 dielectric layers.

Definition : Eps_r : dielectric constant

Attenuation might cause problems for sensors that require a wide field of view

It becomes obvious that the attenuation depends on the incident angle, the paint, the polarisation and the number of layer stacks. Additionally, but not shown here, it depends on the thickness of the basic plastic.

Add additional diagram for different polarization

Because of these dependencies stated above that and because the radar sensor manufacturer is not the manufacturer of the bumper fascia and does not specify the mechanical properties of the fascia , it is impossible difficult to have a generic limit for radiated power including behind a bumper fascia in a regulation.

7.1.2 Bandwidth / TX power At the time when the 79GHz regulation was developed in 2004, it was assumed that the 79GHz band will be used for ultra wide band radars that at that time were operating in 24GHz. The 24GHz radars at that time used a bandwidth of 4GHz.

Since then many more functions for the use of radar sensors in vehicles have been devised.invented

As technology evolvedis evolving and morde sophisticated functions were developed, it was found, that a typical high-resolution sensor would require approximately 1.5GHz bandwidth.

To take this the above points into account the original regulation in [i.11)a nd [i.12] needs to beshould be revised to become applicable for more general radar types . The changemain change would beis to replace the mean power density limit of -3/-9 dBm/MHz e.i.r.p. by a mean power limit of 50 dBm.

It is foreseen that 79GHz radar sensors will be a key sensor technology for autonomous driving vehicles.

9 Regulation

9.1 current Current regulationThe operation of automotive radars is regulated under ECC Decision (04)03 [i.12]and EC decision 2004/545/EC [i.11] reference. The ECC decision contains provisions on the mounting and operation of a sensor mounted on a vehicle. The document contains the limit of maximum mean power density outside a vehicle, which implieand assumes a fixed attenuation of the bumper behind which the sensor is mounted.

At the time when the 79GHz regulation was developed in 2004, it was assumed that the 79GHz band will would be used for ultra wide band radars that at that time were operating in 24GHz.

In the current regulation a fixed bumper loss of -6dB was specifiedis assumed, to ensure a maximum mean power density of -9dBm/MHz outside the vehicle. The manufacturer of a radar sensor cannot directly control the compliance with the power levellimit outside the vehicle, as sourcing and specification of the bumper and mounting and assembly

of these elements are not within the responsibility of the radar sensor manufacturer are within the responsibility of the vehicle manufacturer.

With the publication adoption of the RE-directive reference this split of responsibility for compliance is not allowed any more. For automotive radars, the responsibility to comply with the limit of -3dBm/MHz is in the remit of the component manufacturer. The responsibility to comply with the limit of -9dBm/MHz outside the bumper would be under the responsibilitythat of the vehicle manufacturer. Based on the requirements of the RE-D, it would make itIt is impossible for the component manufacturer to declare the conformity with the -9dBm/MHz limit as given in the regulation .

A1.19 Valet ParkingThe driver exits the vehicle at a drop-off area and uses a remote control system, such as a fob or smart phone application, to send the vehicle away to park itself. The driver has no further interaction with the vehicle and the vehicle parks itself in a suitable parking location. The space is allocated by a carpark control system. After some time, either predefined or upon driver request the vehicle drives itself to a pickup area to meet the driver, (the summon function). The system should be capable of communicating with the driver using a remote device to allow the driver to go to the vehicle rather than summon the vehicle.

Annex B:summary of Regulations in selected countries for 76-77 GHz and 77 - 81 GHz radar sensorsThe overview provides a summary of selected market areas and countries and illustrates the radio spectrum regulations for radars operating in the frequency range 76 GHz to 81 GHz. The presented table is a snapshot of the regulation at the time when the document was developed. For reference to most recent local regulatory documents should be consulted.

For most countries the regulation and therefore approval scheme and related standard is split for the two frequency bands 76 -77 GHz and 77 – 81 GHz. In 2017 the FCC in the US has merged the frequency regulation for the whole frequency band, which is illustrated by listed frequency range.

Key parameters like power requirements and frequency band are shown.

Summary of the situation in key market countries

For 76 GHz – 77 GHz the technical requirements for acceptance are in principle homogenous and aligned over the listed countries and regions. Only a few countries deviate regarding the typical power parameters and the method applied for verification (examples: reference to conducted power).

For 77 – 81 GHz quite a number of countries do not have yet a regulation or are about to work out new regulations and standards. In addition the power requirements show big variation. Specifically the limitation of power density for dedicated usage (vehicle) or in relation to bandwidth will restrict the usage and function of related sensors.
