研究目的
To understand how the performance of the automotive LiDAR sensor dedicated to automated driving is affected in adverse weather, especially in low visibility due to fog or rain.
研究成果
The study concludes that while the attenuation of reflected optical power at 1550 nm is similar to 905 nm in fog, the higher permissible optical power at 1550 nm due to eye safety regulations significantly improves the Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR). LiDAR remains crucial for automated driving despite its performance degradation in adverse weather, with radar being less sensitive but also less reliable for non-metallic objects.
研究不足
The study is limited by the controlled conditions of the fog chamber, which may not fully replicate natural adverse weather conditions. Additionally, the pre-prototype LiDAR at 1550 nm is not yet optimized for automotive use.
