4 General description
4.1 System introduction
Forward Collision Warning (FCW) Radar sensor is to remind the driver when the subject
vehicles encounter the situation when a forward vehicle in the subject vehicle’s trajectory
becomes a potential hazard.
FCW system is done by using information about: (1) the range to forward vehicles, (2)
the time to a potential collision and (3) the grade of warnings provided to the driver. Based
upon the information acquired, the controller identified as “FVCWS warning strategy” in Figure
1 produces the warning to the driver.

5 System Function Description
5.1 Function definition
5.1.1 FCW function
FCW system is used to provide warnings that will assist drivers in avoiding or reducing
the severity or rear end crashes. The warning zone definition is below.
There is one ignore zone in front of the car which is 0.6m
The warning distance is up to 160m and the width is +-1m
System will calculate potential collision timing once the object is in warning zone.
There are 3 warning level in the system
The static object detection distance is limited within 60m (default)

8.2 Self-diagnostics
The system will perform self-diagnostics during the boot up. When radar system is
operating, it is still monitoring and inform driver once the system error message comes out,
for example no CAN message from sensor.
