Radar Technology

Our radar development builds on several years of experience at Rheinmetall across various fields, with a dedicated focus on automotive applications since 2019. We cover all regulatory functionalities, such as Child Presence Detection (CPD) and Seat Belt Reminder, and have expanded our capabilities to support additional use cases, including occupant classification, intrusion detection, and proximity sensing. In line with our approach, we design our algorithms to be as hardware-independent as possible. This enables us to respond quickly and flexibly to customer preferences and hardware requirements.

Depending on the ambient temperature, children's body temperature rises three to five times faster than an adult's body temperature. Given the fact that the interior of a parked car can heat up to well over 40°C in a very short space of time when in the sun, this can be life-threatening to children. In the past 25 years, over 900 children in the US alone have died of heat stroke because they were left in parked cars.

For this reason, Euro NCAP now includes CPD systems in its vehicle safety assessment.

We provide a CPD system that reliably meets all Euro NCAP requirements. This ensures the safety of those who are not yet able to look after themselves.

Getting from A to B safely – that's what we all want. But what happens in the event of an accident? Many serious injuries can be avoided if everyone wears a seat belt. The Seat Belt Reminder not only informs the driver that they need to wear a seat belt, but also whether all other occupants in the car are wearing their seat belts. Nowadays, the data for this is provided by special sensor mats installed in the seat. They respond to pressure and indicate when the seat is occupied by a person or a sufficiently heavy object. With our contactless interior monitoring system, no additional sensors are needed in each seat. A distinction can be made between adults, children and objects.
