This is an important modification to the motion detector’s function, as it makes it easier to tailor the detection function to the specific application.
The  Radar Sensors for Smart City Applications market data has been bifurcated by Application into Traffic Monitoring and Pedestrian (Crowd) Monitoring. Traffic Monitoring holds a largest market share during 2021. The smart city concept entails the use of numerous sensors to collect and digitize data. Traffic and pedestrian counts are two of the most important data sources. Officials can utilize this information for general city planning or for real-time traffic control. Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) refers to the systems that collect such data and control city lights.
Street cameras (direct measurement) and in-car sensors, as well as smartphones, are the most prevalent sources of traffic data (indirect measurement). The widespread use of cameras raises legitimate privacy concerns: cameras can be utilized as a surveillance device. Indirect measurements are inaccurate and create significant (up to a few minutes) data lag, particularly when dealing with traffic data.
Radars can relieve these worries. Despite reliable data, these sensors are unable to identify a person or a vehicle. Radars can provide dependable data for intelligent transportation systems, traffic lights, and intelligent streetlights. Thus, the demand for Radars Sensors is driving the market in Traffic monitoring and Pedestrian (Crowd) Monitoring.
December 2021: Â In the latest report funded by the National Institute for Transportation and Communities (NITC), Development of Intelligent Multimodal Traffic Monitoring using Radar Sensor at Intersections, researchers Siyang Cao, Yao-jan Wu, Feng Jin and Xiaofeng Li of the University of Arizona have tackled the issue by developing a high-resolution radar sensor that can reliably distinguish between cars and pedestrians. This sensor also supplies the counts, speed, and direction of each moving target, no matter what the lighting and weather are like. In the future, they plan to further refine their model to interpret more complex data and be able to identify additional modes.
