Abstract
A moving obstacle detection system using a Doppler radar device for an automotive vehicle which detects and informs a vehicle driver that another vehicle (moving obstacle) approaches or moves away from the detecting vehicle, wherein there is provided a means for determining whether the rate of change of the period of a Doppler signal outputted from the Doppler radar equipment with respect to time exceeds a predetermined value so that an erroneous alarm in response to a pedestrian or another vehicle traversing the front detection area of the vehicle, e.g., when vehicle is at rest at in an intersection is inhibited. Consequently, more reliable detection of approach or departure of another vehicle can be achieved.
