In future novel driver assistance, comfort, and safety systems the needs for environmental sensing and traffic scene interpretation are increasing. The reliability of these systems will be mainly determined by the perception of the sensors and the capability of automatic data interpretation, and it will be a differentiating factor in the competition amongst automotive OEMs. Automotive radar is expected to be a key sensor technology for future active safety systems, especially due to its specific physical properties (direct acquisition of range and velocity). This contribution demonstrates the potential of radar sensors with high resolution in azimuth and range in traffic environment and addresses some aspects of their practical implementation. A prototype of an automotive instrumentation radar is presented, which allows on-line acquisition and real-time visualisation of radar images with an update rate of up to 10Hz. The imaging capabilities of high resolution radar in traffic environment will be pointed out with respect to new comfort and safety features. In addition practical realisation approaches will be discussed.
