Definitions
BSD Sensor:
MBHL TypA Sensor
Host vehicle:
the vehicle fitted with the BSD.
Object vehicle:
the vehicle the BSD is searching to.
Vehicle right side:
the side to the right of the driver.
Vehicle left side:
the left of the driver.
Blind spot zone:
a defined area close to the host vehicle where the presence of an
object vehicle that meets certain defined criteria causes the BSD to
generate a warning.
Human machine interface:
the manner in which the sensor is able to provide information to the
driver as well as the means for the driver to send information (or
commands) to the sensors.
Field of view:
the area located in front of the sensor that the radar is able to
monitor (this area may be much larger than the area that the radar
is required to be able to see in order to provide alerts).
Inside alert zone:
an object of interest is considered “inside” the alert zone if any part
of it is within the inner tolerance lines.
Outside alert zone:
an object of interest is considered “outside” the alert zone if it is
entirely outside the outer tolerance lines.
System latency:
the time delay between an event taking place to the time the
response output to the event is seen, heard or felt by the driver.
Update time:
the time between two consecutives measurements of the whole
FoV.
Relative speed:
the differential speed between the host and object vehicles.
