Postprocessing and Evaluation for a Radar-Based True-Speed-Over-Ground Estimation System

This work presents a cross correlation-based true-speed-over-ground estimation approach based on experiences from an earlier system. The radar system parameters as well as the antenna configuration were adapted to fit the requirements of the presented application. Also, challenges regarding the previously limited velocity range are addressed and an appropriate solution is proposed. The entire system was thoroughly tested in a train scenario over a wide range of velocities. Very promising measurement results are presented and compared to related approaches.
