A Novel Vehicle Ranging Method Based on Self-Calibration Principle

Abstract:

A novel ranging method based on self-calibration principle is proposed in the paper. This method can be used in vehicle ranging to achieve accurate distance measurement. The principle of the method, hardware architecture and experiment analysis are introduced. Self-calibration principle can eliminate the impact of the velocity of ultrasound on vehicle ranging. Plenty of experiments have been done to validate the design. Both theoretical analysis and experimental results show the effectiveness of the method. A full description of the method and implementation are presented.
