Abstract

Infrastructure sensing systems in combination with Infrastructure-to-Vehicle communication can be used to enhance sensor data obtained from the perspective of a vehicle, only. This paper presents a system consisting of a radar sensor network installed at the side of the street, together with an Edge Processing Unit to fuse the data of different sensors. Measurements taken by the demonstrator are shown, the system architecture is discussed, and some lessons learned are presented.
