Important results from the project
The purpose of the prestudy was to generate new knowledge and experience of UWB radar and develop and validate technologies for application in new ways. During the prestudy, we have investigated and tried both commercial and technical issues. Most of the expected results have been achieved.
Expected long term effects
Expected effects has been the use of the developed test environment, which means that we now easier and more efficient can answer technical questions. We also received answers to questions about the accuracy of distance measurement and positioning. Several candidates on algorithms for detection of humans has been developed. These are not finished, but a good base for further development. The expectation is that Addiva will sell several development projects based UWB technology during 2015-2016.
Approach and implementation
Work break-down structure of the project: 1. Develop GUI to the test environment / test bench for displaying of received and processed data from the radar 2. Develop infrastructure for development of algorithms 3. Development of a test environment for the collection and analysis of data from the radar 4. Research algorithms for positioning and detection of people and moving objects 5. Testing and Optimization By working with an iterative process in the project it has been possible to take into account stakeholders´ preferences during the project and optimize the development process.
