Short-range radar startup Novelic is introducing a 180° field of view (FOV) radar module at CES 2025, a device that can be used for parking assistance that will fully replace ultrasonic sensors.
Called the ASPER200, the module is a 79 GHz short-range exterior radar for use in passenger vehicles, commercial vehicles, motorcycles, mass transit and construction vehicles.
Other features of the ASPER200 include:
- Lateral awareness
- Range of less than 5 cm to 15 m-100 m, depending on configuration
- Optional edge processing
- CAN-FD or automotive Ethernet
- Not impaired by fog, dirt or mud
How it works
Traditional park assist systems require cutouts in the bumper to accommodate ultrasonic sensors. Radar-based park assist can be integrated behind or above the bumper and offers detection of low-lying objects of less than 5 cm, the company said.
This allows automotive OEMs to provide functionality like power door protection, tailgate protection and gesture control using the same hardware.
The park assistance technology includes:
- Rear and front collision warning, with target tracking
- 360° surround awareness
- Kick-to-open
- Tailgate and power door protection
- Urban blind spot detection (BSD)
- Rear cross-traffic alert (RCTA)
- Rear automatic emergency braking (R-AEB)
CES 2025 takes place Jan. 7-10, 2025, in Las Vegas, Nevada.
