Abstract
A radar system includes a controller that receives radar data from a first radar sensor and a second radar sensor mounted to a vehicle. The controller determines, based on fields of view of both the first radar sensor and the second radar sensor, reduced fields of view that overlay a travel path of the vehicle. The reduced fields of view are enabled by reflecting portions of transmitted radar signals away from both the first radar sensor and the second radar sensor, thereby inhibiting detections of objects outside of the travel path of the vehicle. The controller determines whether a stationary object is detected by both the first radar sensor and the second radar sensor in the reduced fields of view while the vehicle is stationary.
