Abstract[English]
An apparatus guides a land vehicle along a pathway on which there are one or more side targets with different radar reflectivity characteristics compared to the pathway. The apparatus comprises a radar sensor, a processor, and an inertial measurement unit (IMU). The radar sensor is mounted to the vehicle and configured to radiate to the pathway one or more signals having a main beam pattern center aimed toward the ground and sideways from the vehicle. The radar sensor is further configured to detect one or more reflection signals from one or more of the side targets along the pathway. The processor is configured to determine based on a reflection signal a lateral distance between the vehicle and a side target as the vehicle passes or first encounters the side target. The IMU is configured to determine a change of lateral position of the vehicle between side targets.[French]
L'invention concerne un appareil qui guide un véhicule terrestre le long d'un trajet sur lequel se trouvent une ou plusieurs cibles latérales ayant différentes caractéristiques de réflectivité radar par rapport au trajet. L'appareil comprend un capteur radar, un processeur et une unité de mesure inertielle (IMU). Le capteur radar est monté sur le véhicule et configuré pour rayonner vers le trajet un ou plusieurs signaux ayant un centre de motif de faisceau principal dirigé vers le sol et latéralement à partir du véhicule. Le capteur radar est en outre configuré pour détecter un ou plusieurs signaux de réflexion provenant d'une ou de plusieurs des cibles latérales le long du trajet. Le processeur est configuré pour déterminer, sur la base d'un signal de réflexion, une distance latérale entre le véhicule et une cible latérale lorsque le véhicule passe ou rencontre d'abord la cible latérale. L'IMU est configurée pour déterminer un changement de position latérale du véhicule entre des cibles latérales.
