1. Product Description
The ARS-DG01 product is an integrated FMCW radar sensor capable of operation in the 79GHz band. The radar sensor’s main task is to detect objects and measure their speed and position relative to the movement of the vehicle in which it is fitted. When driving on the road, the motorcycle’s blind spot the area just behind the motorcycle is a constant source of danger and often the cause of serious accidents. Alpha has developed the Rear Collision Warning (RCW) solution – the RCW system product. The RCW system product is a cost- effective and all in one solution suited to all motorcycle segments. It consists of one mid-range Radar. The Rear Spot Detection works by using one mid-range radar sensors on the motorcycle. Powerful control software collates the sensor information to create a complete picture of all traffic in the area behind the motorcycle. Whenever another vehicle approaches at speed from behind or is already present in the blind spot, a warning LED light in the side mirror alerts the driver to the hazard. With Alpha’s Blind Spot Detection solution, accidents that happen while changing lanes can be prevented.

4. Application
-
RCW radar system start conditions:
ACC ON -
LED warning mode:
Lighting
No light -
Radar update time:
100ms -
79GHz RCW radar detection behavior:
1. BSD Start condition:
a. When the target enters between A and B segments
b. When the target enters between D and E segments
c. The target is approaching at a relative speed of 4km / hr
2. LCA Start condition:
a. When the target enters between B and C segments
b. When the target enters between D and E segments
c, TTC is less than 3 seconds
4. Warning distance
a. Relative velocity≤6 km/h: 5m
b. 30 km/h > Relative velocity > 6 km/h : 5~25m
Warning distanc = Relative velocity ÷ 3.6 × 3

5. Product Dimension
The ARS-DG01 product dimension is 49(L) x 53(W) x 38.75(H) mm (with connector). Radar weight: 62.8 g/ per pcs
6. Radar Setup
In order for the radar evaluation, the system needs to be setup properly. To fulfill the Rear Collision Warning (RCW) application, we recommend the radar product to behind the motorcycle, and mounted between 60~80cm above the road surface level, vertically, at a certain squint angel.
When installing the radar sensor on the rear of the motorcycle, the indicator should face down.
