Warning indicator
The A TS 100 turning assistance system uses a precision detection system to predict the future probability of collision with the object and provides users with dynamic detection and display-based intelligent alerts to remind drivers to take timely preventive measures to reduce the possibility of accidents . The warning display screen supports adaptive brightness control, allowing the screen brightness to adjust based on the brightness of the surrounding environment to provide a reduction in driver’s eye fatigue during the night.

The warning function is divided into three levels as follows: (Note: Conditions for activating the warning function: The vehicle speed is less than or equal to 30km/h.)

• Level 1 warning: The steering wheel angle is less than 30° and the object enters the warning area, then a section of warning light LEDs will light up, as shown in Figure 1-4.
• Level 2 Warning: The vehicle is turning right, the steering wheel angle is more than 30°, or the turn signal is turned on (if the turn signal is connected), and the vehicle and the object are expected to collide within a certain time, then a section of warning light LEDs will start flashing.
• Level 3 Warning: The vehicle turns right, the steering wheel angle is greater than 30°, or the turn signal is turned on (if the turn signal is connected), and the vehicle and the object are about to collide, then the warning light starts to flash and also an acoustic warning tone is triggered.

The driver can get the approximate location of the object based on the section of warning light LEDs that are on or flashing.

The detailed description of each warning light on the display is as follows:

1. Warning module operation and status indicator: Lights up when the status of the warning module is normal.
2. Brake Indicator: This light flashes when braking is active. (Currently this function is not available.)
3. GPS error indicator: lights up when the GPS sensor has no signal (temporarily), flashes when the GPS sensor has an permanent error signal.
4. Warning light: Provides early warning of dangerous objects. The warning area is divided into three different priorities: upper zone (2-5 m in front of the vehicle front),middle zone (2 m in front of the vehicle front – 7 m behind the vehicle front), and lower zone (7-30 m behind the vehicle front). If several objects are in the upper, middle or lower zone at the same time, give priority to the middle, then the lower, then the upper zone.
5. Vehicle model: for reference; is in a steady light state after switching on.
6. Radar Status Indicator: Steady light indicates temporary radar failure, usually caused by factors such as blocked radar or poor weather conditions; Blinking indicates permanent radar failure that requires professional repair.
7. System malfunction indicator: The indicator light flashes when there is a malfunction in the entire system.

Radar installation

Notes on installation

• The radar should be mounted on a low vibration component. Strong vibrations will affect the detection function.
• The radar should be installed on the most protruding le vel on the side of the truck to prevent it from being blocked by other parts and affecting its detection perfor- mance.

Installation position:
The radar must be installed on the right side of the truck. The radar must always be attached to the vehicle in fro nt of the first rear axle! We recom- mend mounting on the side protection plate, side protection rail or similar installation locations on the vehicle.

Installation area :
When the radar is used, the reference coordinate origin is the center of the rear axle of the vehicle. The standard installation position parameters of the radar are shown in Ta- ble 2 1, which are only suitable for vehicles with a wheelbase of approx. 3.5 5 m and the installation position (plu g and play variant) as shown in Figure 2 3.

Table 2 1 Radar default installation parameters

Lateral distance X: the longitudinal distance of the radar installation position relative to the center of the rear axle of the vehicle;
Longitudinal distance Y: The lateral distance of the radar mounting position relativ e to the center of the rear axle of the vehicle;

Mounting angle: the angle of rotation of the radar mounting position relative to the center of the rear axle of the vehicle;
Warn_dx: the distance from the center of the rear axle to the front edge of the vehicle.

Figure 2-2 Diagram of calibration parameters for radar installation site

The recommended or preconfigured sensor location is shown in Figure 2-3 below. The radar can be installed at a distance of 230-430 cm backwards from the front edge of the vehicle and at a height of 30-120 cm from the ground. As long as the sensor stays within this installation area, no parameterization is required after installation. It is the plug and play built-in version of the system.

Figure 2-3 Recommended or Plug and Play installation position diagram

If the wheelbase of 3.5-5 meters or the installation position is out of the plug and play installation range, the installer needs to re-enter the installation position of the sensor. At this time, the installer needs to measure the distance between the actual installation position of the radar and the center of the rear axle of the vehicle to renew the installation position of the radar.

To parameterize the radar installation position, please use a Windows PC with the CAN box we have provided and our AutelRadarCfgTools software. First connect the CAN box with radar sensor via CAN 2.0 interface, see Table 1-2. The working steps are shown in Figure 2-4 below:

1. Click the Open button to open the CAN device
2. Click the Close button to close the CAN device
3. Select the baud rate of channel 2, the current default is 250K
4. Click Start button to open Channel 2
5. Click stop button to close channel 2
6. Choose whether the installation position faces the left or right side of the vehicle front
7. Enter the values dx , dy, theta and warn_dx
8. With Write you write the values in the radar sensor, with Read you can read out the values in the radar sensor again
9. You can also use the Report button to print out an installation report. A detailed description can be found in Chapter 2.7
   dx: Longitudinal distance from the installation position of the radar to the center of the rear axle of the vehicle. unit: meters
   dy: The lateral distance from the radar installation location to the center of the vehi-cle’s rear axle, typically 1.25 m
   Installation Angle: The left side is -90°, the right side is 90°
   Warn_dx: the distance from the center of the rear axle to the front edge of the vehicle. Unit: meter

Maximum installation area: The maximum installation area is shown in Figure 2-4.1. The sensor may be installed with software parameterization from the front of the vehicle up to a maximum of 700 cm to the rear. At the same time, the sensor must not be installed behind the first rear axle. The installation height is the same as the Plug and Play installation variant and remains unchanged at 30cm – 120cm.

Installation Deviation: In order to ensure detection accuracy, the horizontal angle error of the radar installation should be within ±1° at best. The vertical angle error when installing is best within 2°.

Installation example

To control installation variations, an optional additional mounting bracket can be used to adjust direction and angle during installation.

1. With the front of the radar (the side with the plastic case) facing the detection area, attach the radar to the mounting bracket with the screws.
2. Place the bubble level in the center of the top tier of the radar and adjust the mounting position adjustment screw until the bubble overlaps the ring in the center.
3. Secure the mounting position adjustment screw, and then connect the cable.

Radar Wiring
After the radar cable is connected to the radar, it should be routed into the cabin along with the chassis cable as shown in the figure below.

The entry for the chassis cable into the cab is on the underside of the cab. Therefore you need to lift the cabin during wiring as shown in the picture below.

In front of the passenger seat (where the main fuse and main ECU are located), connect the power supply, screen and other parts of this product as shown in the figure below.

The system has two feed options for the input signals.

Feeding in with the supplied GPS/IMU module
Feeding in without the supplied GPS/IMU module, directly with the vehicle CAN signals

The supplied GPS/IMU module provides the required input signals for the system. If the supplied GPS/IMU module is not used. Alternatively, the system can also be used if the input signals are provided via vehicle CAN Bus. The Autel ATS100 requires the 5 CAN signals shown below for its normal operation. By default, the radar automati-cally reads these CAN J1939 signals. This means only vehicles with standardized J1939 signals are supported by the system. If the vehicle does not provide standardized J1939 signals, we recommend using the supplied GPS/IMU module. The baud rate for vehicle communication is 250 KB:

1. vehicle speed
2. steering wheel angle
3. yaw rate
4. longitudinal acceleration
5. lateral acceleration
