CALIBRATION AND OPERATION OF VEHICLE OBJECT DETECTION RADAR WITH INERTIAL MEASUREMENT UNIT (IMU)

The disclosed technology is a vehicle object detection radar system incorporating an inertial measurement unit (IMU). The IMU may obtain input signals of, or relating to, for example, relative motion, acceleration, object detection angle, sway and vibration of the vehicle and/or any towed trailer, and process them for relay to the vehicle operator as operating information and possibly alarms. Also, the obtained IMU signals may be relayed directly to the vehicle's object detection radar systems and central control for automatic adjustment and control thereof.
