Our academics from the Microwave Integrated Systems Laboratory leads research on advanced assistive automotive radar sensing technologies. We have collaborated with leading car manufacturers to develop the next-generation of sensing technologies. We have established a number of unique automotive systems such as vehicle wading (driving through water) which have minimised the hazards of driving in flooded areas; blind spot negotiation to reduce the risk of collision while changing trajectory; road edge recognition to align vehicles automatically within drivable areas; and rear-view radar vision. Our research has enabled the development of industry-leading technology in each of these areas.
Our work has achieved significant commercial and economic impacts. We have contributed to innovation and entrepreneurial activity, including IP and new product development. We have impacted on business performance via revenue generation and knowledge transfer into the automotive engineering industry. As a result of our work with industry, more vehicles now have ADAS options, generating >£800m in revenue, and significant innovative and unique advancements in existing ADAS systems.
