The Next Wave of Radar
Better Sensors Lead to a Better Environmental Model
Aptiv's Gen 6 ADAS platform is the foundation for advanced active safety, and sophisticated radars provide the sensor input that make that foundation even more robust.
Introducing the Gen 8 Family of Radars
Aptiv’s Gen 8 radar family delivers the performance and high-resolution sensing needed to support AI- and machine learning-driven ADAS capabilities. The radars double the number of channels versus predecessors and offer market-leading range, resolution and object detection. The family includes:
- SRR8+: This is the first HD, 4D corner radar on the market, offering improvements of nearly 25 percent in azimuth angle and 75 percent in elevation angle
- FLR8: This forward-facing radar increases range by 15 percent compared to the FLR7, along with 4D perception and excellent angular resolution
- Aptiv PULSE™ Sensor: This unprecedented sensor combines a surround-view camera with an ultrashort-range radar in a compact form factor
Gen 7 Radars
SENSORS FOR EVERY NEED
The three members of the Gen 7 Radar Family cover every angle:
- SRR7: This corner radar is compatible with streaming and zonal architectures and supports detection of close objects and vulnerable road users
- SRR7+: This premium version of the corner radar supports a dual-corner radar configuration for adaptive cruise control (ACC) and is characterized by high sensitivity, range and resolution
- FLR7: This forward-facing radar is the industry’s first base-level radar with 4D capability, a 280-meter detection range and excellent angular resolution
FLR4 Family of Radars
Forward-Facing Radars Include First 4D Imaging Radar
The FLR4 forward-facing radars have two distinct variants:
- FLR4: The next generation of the forward-facing radar doubles range resolution and triples vertical field of view over previous models.
- FLR4+: Aptiv’s first 4D imaging radar can meet the most demanding customer applications at an attractive price/performance ratio. Its range detection is an industry-leading 300 meters, and it supports true elevation target discrimination with machine learning.
SRR6 Family of Corner / Side Radars
Next Generation Dramatically Improves Performance
The SRR6 corner/side radars are available in three variants:
- SRR6: The base-level radar improves detection range by 40 percent versus the prior generation and doubles range resolution while tripling the vertical field of view.
- SRR6+: This radar doubles detection range over the prior generation and adds higher-resolution angular discrimination to improve the quality of an environmental model.
- SRR6 HD: This model provides maximum resolution for highly automated, short-range applications, such as valet parking and low-speed driver-out-of-the-loop automation.
