Coverage shaped to the vehicle
Sensor position and angle follow real vehicle dimensions, blind zones and turning paths.
TECHNOLOGY 01 / SITUATIONAL AWARENESS
360°
360° awareness through a multi-sensor architecture.
The goal is not simply to see four sides, but to maintain a continuous risk map around the vehicle—showing where an object is, how it is moving and which zone demands attention.

ARCHITECTURE OVERVIEW
A metric only matters when measured across the whole system.
NORTHAR uses overlapping sensing zones around the vehicle, fuses radar and ultrasonic data, and translates it into directional alerts. Final coverage is engineered after reviewing vehicle geometry, obstacles, speed and operating conditions.
REFERENCE HARDWARE KIT
The hardware behind this configuration.
The kit is configured around the vehicle, voltage, warning zones and available interfaces. The image represents an OEM-neutral design; the final model and appearance may change after manufacturer selection.
- 77–81 GHz mmWave radar
- Six-sensor 24 V ultrasonic kit
- Embedded controller
- 7-inch HMI display
- Lamps, buzzer and alert outputs
- CAN harnesses, connectors and brackets
DESIGN PRINCIPLES
Three layers behind the core capability.
Presented at architecture level; the final commercial configuration depends on the vehicle survey and safety requirements.
Fusion instead of accumulation
Multiple signals are correlated to reduce duplicates and prioritize objects with a risky trajectory.
Directional operator feedback
The HMI identifies front, rear, left or right risk zones and proximity levels.
TECHNOLOGY COMPARISON
No single sensor or protocol fits every application.
TechnologyStrengthTrade-offRole in NORTHAR
360° camera
Intuitive visual evidence and computer-vision potential.
Sensitive to light, dust, water and operator screen attention.
Can be added as a visual confirmation layer rather than the sole detector.
77–81 GHz radar
Strong range and relative-velocity sensing in darkness and adverse weather.
Requires careful treatment of ground reflections, static objects and field of view.
Primary detection layer combined with zone logic and close-range sensing.
LiDAR
Detailed point cloud and strong geometric resolution.
Higher cost and optical protection or cleaning demands in harsh environments.
Optional for advanced automation requiring detailed spatial models.
Ultrasonic
Effective at very short range with accessible cost.
Short range and sensitivity to surface angle, wind and absorptive materials.
Fills near-body zones where other sensors may be less effective.
UPGRADEABLE ARCHITECTURE
Extend one layer without replacing everything.
The roadmap is managed by hardware, software and per-vehicle configuration versions.
Radar + ultrasonic + HMI
Modular blind-zone configuration with directional alerts and vehicle-specific calibration.
Camera confirmation and event recording
Add visual evidence by alert zone for training and incident analysis.
Imaging radar or LiDAR
Increase spatial resolution for automated vehicles and dense environments.
Centralized analytics
Aggregate events, hotspots and trends to improve operating routes.
