The disclosed technology is a vehicle object detection radar system incorporating an inertial measurement unit (IMU). The IMU may obtain input signals of, or relating to, for example, relative motion, acceleration, object detection angle, sway and vibration of the vehicle and/or any towed trailer, and process them for relay to the vehicle operator as operating information and possibly alarms. Also, the obtained IMU signals may be relayed directly to the vehicle's object detection radar systems and central control for automatic adjustment and control thereof.

CALIBRATION AND OPERATION OF VEHICLE OBJECT DETECTION RADAR WITH INERTIAL MEASUREMENT UNIT (IMU)
The disclosed technology is a vehicle object detection radar system incorporating an inertial measurement unit (IMU). The IMU may obtain input signals of, or relating to, for example, relative motion, acceleration, object detection angle, sway and vibration of the vehicle and/or any towed trailer, and process them for relay to the vehicle operator as operating information and possibly alarms.

A monitoring and alert system for a radar-based object detection device has a blockage detection circuit including elements that detect and warn of radar blockage from dirt or debris on a radome. Environmentally-applied or human-applied material becoming attached to a surface of the radome can block the radar signal from being radiated, or a target return/echo from being received, at a sufficient power level. The monitoring and alert system prevents a vehicle operator from assuming that the unit is functioning properly and that no targets exist in the radar field of view, when the radar is actually blocked by the dirt and debris. One electrode, or multiple spaced-apart electrodes, on the radome may be monitored for each electrode's respective “self-capacitance”. Thus, different regions of the radome may be separately and independently monitored for alerts when one or more regions of the radome are negatively-affected by the dirt or debris.
The present disclosed technology is a generally two-dimensional display and audible alarm to show notification and urgency information from multiple object detection radar sensors on a vehicle. When a particular sensor is reporting to the vehicle's operation and control center, the corresponding light(s) according to a top view of the vehicle in the array may light up, pulse or flash accordingly. In addition, an audible alarm may operate in concert and emphasis with the light(s) display.
