Notes:
• For distances below 1.5m (detection with relative speed only) or below 0.3m (no
detection) the space covered in general by radar systems is very small. In this scenario,
Backsense® may not be the most suitable solution; therefore, Brigade recommends
adding an additional or alternative detection system depending on the vehicle’s
application. For example, Brigade Backscan®, based on ultrasonic sensing technology,
offers superior detection at close ranges.
• Brigade Backsense

system is not affected if multiple systems are operating in the same
area or on the same vehicle, even if they are installed in close proximity with overlapping
detection ranges.
• Independent detection of target objects can be achieved when there is a minimum range
separation of 0.8m and velocity difference of >0.7m/s between each.
Tip: Brigade Backsense

detection is generally better when there is relative speed
between the sensor and the objects and when the direction of approach is
perpendicular to the sensor front face.
