During the recent COVID-19 pandemic, more people were walking and cycling as a means of transportation. For this trend to continue post-pandemic, significant measures will be necessary to improve the safety of vulnerable road users in unsegregated rural and urban multi-modal transport environments. The recently announced government incentive, "Active Travel", is focussing on restarting the local economy by attracting people back into their town and city centres while supporting the recovery of local bus companies, and promoting active and sustainable means of transport for residents, including cycling and walking.R4DAR with support from Oxfordshire County Council (OCC) and the Satellite Applications Catapult will look at the feasibility, development and exploitation of recent advancements in imaging radar technology, combined with R4DARs novel identification capability to develop a geospatial data system that can integrate with current and future traffic management systems to sense, observe, identify and accurately position vehicles, bicycles, e-scooters and pedestrians on rural roads and in complex, high-density environments such as town and city centres. The enhanced geospatial data provided by this innovation will support the wide-scale adoption of active travel measures, providing a safer, greener environment for all users to enjoy.In Phase 1, we will study the feasibility of using a low-cost radar beacon which can be read by radar to provide localised high-resolution geospatial data enabling enhanced navigation and surveillance in unsegregated multi-modal transport environments. We will also investigate and consider how localised positioning, navigation, and surveillance data can be made ubiquitously available for integration into wider urban and rural traffic management systems.In Phase 2, R4DAR will draw on existing commercial partnerships which include expertise from aerospace, automotive, infrastructure, data systems, local government, and technology to develop and demonstrate a comprehensive geospatial data solution that will take advantage of the enhanced localised tracking and guidance benefits of the radar and beacon technology and combine it with other traffic management sensors, data management systems and communication technologies. The data outputs will be tailored to feed into a wide range of management systems enabling active modes of transport such as bicycles, e-scooters and pedestrians to be reliably detected, identified, monitored and tracked providing an extra level of safety not available today. A successful outcome of phase 2 will result in a transition to larger-scale deployments and customer trials in a range of environments.

在最近的COVID-19疫情期间，更多人以步行及骑自行车作为交通工具。要使这一趋势在大流行后继续下去，就必须采取重大措施，在不隔离的农村和城市多式联运环境中改善弱势道路使用者的安全。最近宣布的政府激励措施“积极旅行”的重点是通过吸引人们回到他们的城镇和市中心来重新启动当地经济，同时支持当地巴士公司的恢复，并为居民推广积极和可持续的交通方式，包括骑自行车和步行。开发和利用成像雷达技术的最新进展，结合R4 DAR的新识别能力，开发一个地理空间数据系统，该系统可以与当前和未来的交通管理系统集成，以感知、观察、识别和准确定位农村道路上以及城镇和市中心等复杂、高密度环境中的车辆、自行车、电动滑板车和行人。在第一阶段，我们会研究使用可被雷达读取的低成本雷达信标，提供本地化的高分辨率地理空间数据，以加强在不分隔的多式联运环境中的导航和监控。我们还将研究和考虑如何将本地化的定位、导航和监控数据无处不在地集成到更广泛的城市和农村交通管理系统中。在第二阶段，R4 DAR将利用现有的商业合作伙伴关系，包括航空航天、汽车、基础设施、数据系统、地方政府、和技术，以开发和演示一个全面的地理空间数据解决方案，该解决方案将利用雷达和信标技术的增强型局部跟踪和引导优势，并将其与其他交通管理传感器联合收割机相结合，数据管理系统和通信技术。这些数据输出将被定制，以输入各种管理系统，使自行车、电动滑板车和行人等主动交通方式能够被可靠地检测、识别、监控和跟踪，从而提供当今无法提供的额外安全水平。第二阶段的成功结果将导致过渡到更大规模的部署和在一系列环境中的客户试验。
