1. ATS100 Turn Assist System Introduction
ATS100 is a turn assist system with accurate target detection and warnings for vehicle
blind spots. The system components are as followes: a millimeter-wave radar with
operation frequency 76-77GHz and max RF output power 12dbm, a spirit level, a
mounting bracket (optional), a warning screen, a GPS&IMU module and the cable. The
millimeter-wave radar can accurately measure the target distance, speed, angle, and
other information through the difference in echoes between the transmitting and
receiving electromagnetic waves. It is an all-weather and all-day operational turn assist
system with working temperature from -40℃-85℃. The warning screen warns the
driver of a dangerous target in the blind spot and reminds the driver to make timely
adjustments to the driving trajectory, to avoid accidents.
The ATS100 turn assist system covers 180°on one side, ensuring no blind spots, with
target detection range up to 80 x 4.5 m. With a compact structure, it comes with collision
pre-determination and graded alarm function, can integrate with external CAN
(Controller Area Network) and CAN FD (Flexible Data) interfaces, and supports 12 V
or 24 V supply voltage.

Warning targets of ATS100 turn assist system include:
Dynamic vulnerable road users, moving at speeds greater than 3 km/h, including
pedestrians, bicycles, electric bicycles, etc.
Dynamic cars, moving at speeds greater than 10 km/h.
Note: The safe use distance of the system needs to be greater than 4cm.

1.1 ASR100 Radar Introduction
The ASR100 77 GHz Millimeter-Wave Radar is a compact, rugged radar sensor
designed and manufactured by Autel Intelligence Vehicle® in China for side blind zone
warnings for heavy trucks/buses, etc. The ASR100 meets automotive grade standard
for professional commercial vehicles and has an IP69K rating, in line with the
commercial vehicle use environment.

1.2 Warning Display
The ATS100 turn assist system employs a precision sensing system to predict future
collision probability with the target and provides users with dynamic sensing and
display-based intelligent warnings, to remind drivers to take preventative measures in
time to reduce the possibility of accidents. The warning display screen supports
adaptive brightness control, enabling the screen’s brightness to adjust based on the
brightness of the surrounding environment, thereby reducing eye-fatigue for drivers
during the night.

Figure 1-3 Display size
The warning function is divided into three levels as follows: （Note: Prerequisites for
enabling the warning function: the speed of the vehicle is ＜30km/h）
Level 1 warning: The steering wheel angle is less than 30°, , and the target enters
the warning range, then a section of warning light LEDs, displayed in Figure 1-4,
light up.
Level 2 warning: The vehicle is turning to the right, the steering wheel angle is
greater than 30°or turn on the turn signal (when the turn signal is connected), and
it is expected that the vehicle and the target will collide within a certain amount of
time, then a section of warning light LEDs start flashing.
Level 3 warning: The vehicle is turning to the right, the steering wheel angle is
greater than 30°or turn on the turn signal (when the turn signal is connected), and
the vehicle and the target collision is imminent within a short amount of time, then
the warning light will start flashing and a warning sound is generated.
The driver can get the approximate location of the target based on the section of warning
light LEDs that are on or are flashing.
The detailed description of each warning light on the display is as follows:

Figure 1-4 Description of warning light
①Warning module power and status indicator: lights up when the status of the warning
module is normal.
②Brake indicator: This light flashes when actively braking. (Currently this function is
not available).
③GPS fault indicator: on when GPS sensor has no signal (temporary), flashing when
GPS sensor has faulty signal.
④Warning light: provides early warning of dangerous targets. The warning area is
divided into three different priorities: Zone top (2-5 m in front of the front of the
vehicle), Zone central (2 m in front of the front of the vehicle- 7 m behind the front of
the vehicle), and Zone bottom (7-30 m behind the front of the vehicle), If there are
multiple targets in Zone top, central or bottom at the same time, give priority to Zone
central, then Zone bottom, and then Zone top.
⑤Vehicle model: for reference; is in a steady on state after power on.
⑥Radar status indicator: steady on state indicates a temporary radar failure, usually
caused by factors such as radar being blocked, bad weather conditions; flashing
indicates a permanent radar failure, requiring professional repair.
⑦System fault indicator: The indicator light is on when there is a fault in the entire
system.

1.3 GPS&IMU Module
This module integrates high-precision gyroscope, accelerometer, GPS module, adopts
high-performance microprocessor and advanced dynamic solution and Kalman
dynamic filter algorithm, which can quickly solve the current real-time motion attitude
of the module. Using advanced digital filtering technology can effectively reduce
measurement noise and improve measurement accuracy. The module integrates an
attitude solver and cooperates with the dynamic Kalman filter algorithm to accurately
output the current attitude of the module in a dynamic environment. The attitude
measurement accuracy is 0.05 degrees static and 0.1 degrees dynamic, with extremely
high stability and performance even better than some professional inclinometer.
