Due to its financial advantage, series trucks are equipped with multiple short-range and long-range radar sensors, which can detect other traffic participants in the surroundings. Even though there are multiple radar free space detection algorithms in the literature, none are designed for a truck. Among others, the goals of this thesis are the development of an algorithm using this kind of sensors and a future implementation of it on our real research vehicle.

Research on the topic of perception sensor simulation in ADAS/automated driving is being conducted at the Institute for Automotive Engineering Darmstadt (FZD) in collaboration with Porsche. To this end, approaches for simulating degradation effects in lidar sensors will be investigated and developed.
