2.5.5 How The VIP™ Helps Eliminates Shadowing
In Moving mode, the radar processes two speeds - patrol and
target. The stronger of the two, the patrol speed, is created when
the radar beam reects from passing stationary objects, such as the
pavement or terrain the motor vehicle is traveling on. However, in
rare cases, some situations cause return signals to be larger than
the reection from the ground such as when the patrol motor
vehicle is rapidly overtaking a slow-moving 18-wheeler. The radar
may use the large return signal generated by the semi’s trailer
ignoring the ground return.
