Automated Driving Toolbox /
Driving Scenario and Sensor Modeling
Description
The Driving Radar Data Generator block generates detection or track reports of targets from an automotive radar sensor model. Use this block to generate sensor data from a driving scenario containing actors and trajectories, which you can read from a Scenario Reader block.
The Driving Radar Data Generator block can simulate clustered or unclustered detections with added random noise and also generate false alarm detections. You can fuse the generated detections with other sensor data and track objects by using a Multi-Object Tracker block. You can also output tracks directly from the Driving Radar Data Generator block. To configure whether targets are output as clustered detections, unclustered detections, or tracks, use the Target reporting format parameter.
You can use the block with vehicle actors in Driving Scenario and RoadRunner Scenario simulations. For more information, see Add Sensors to RoadRunner Scenario Using Simulink example.

Parameters
Parameters
Sensor IdentificationUnique identifier of sensor — Unique sensor identifier
0
(default) | positive integer
Specify the unique sensor identifier as a positive integer. Use this
parameter to distinguish between detections or tracks that come from different
sensors in a multisensor system. Specify a unique value for each sensor. If you
do not update Unique identifier of sensor from the default
value of 0
, then the radar returns an error at the start of
simulation.
Update rate (Hz) — Sensor update rate
10
(default) | positive real scalar
Specify the sensor update rate in hertz as a positive real scalar. The reciprocal of the update rate must be an integer multiple of the simulation time interval. The radar generates new reports at intervals defined by this reciprocal value. Any sensor update requested between update intervals contains no detections or tracks.
Translation [ X, Y, Z ] relative to ego origin (m) — Sensor location on ego vehicle (m)
[3.4, 0, 0.2]
(default) | 1-by-3 real-valued vector of form [x
y
z]
Specify the sensor location on the ego vehicle body frame in meters as a 1-by-3 real-valued vector of the form [x y z]. This parameter defines the coordinates of the sensor along the x-axis, y-axis, and z-axis relative to the ego vehicle origin, where:
The x-axis points forward from the vehicle.
The y-axis points to the left of the vehicle.
The z-axis points up from the ground.
The default value corresponds to a radar that is mounted at the center of the front grill of a sedan.
For more details on the ego vehicle coordinate system, see Coordinate Systems in Automated Driving Toolbox.
Rotation [Yaw, Pitch, Roll] relative to ego's frame (deg) — Mounting rotation angles of radar
[0 0 0]
(default) | 1-by-3 real-valued vector of form
[zyaw
ypitch
xroll]
Specify the mounting rotation angles of the radar in degrees as a 1-by-3 real-valued vector of form [zyaw ypitch xroll]. This parameter defines the intrinsic Euler angle rotation of the sensor around the z-axis, y-axis, and x-axis with respect to the ego vehicle body frame, where:
zyaw, or yaw angle, rotates the sensor around the z-axis of the ego vehicle.
ypitch, or pitch angle, rotates the sensor around the y-axis of the ego vehicle. This rotation is relative to the sensor position that results from the zyaw rotation.
xroll, or roll angle, rotates the sensor about the x-axis of the ego vehicle. This rotation is relative to the sensor position that results from the zyaw and ypitch rotations.
These angles are clockwise-positive when looking in the forward direction of the z-axis, y-axis, and x-axis, respectively. If you visualize sensor data from a bird's-eye view perspective, then the yaw angle is counterclockwise-positive because you are viewing the data in the negative direction of the z-axis, which points up from the ground.
For more details on this coordinate system, see Coordinate Systems in Automated Driving Toolbox.

Q-by-P matrices
Specify the radar cross-section (RCS) of actors as a real-valued

Extended Capabilities
C/C++ Code Generation
Generate C and C++ code using Simulink® Coder™.
For driving scenario workflows, the Driving Radar Data Generator block supports:
Rapid accelerator mode simulation.
Standalone deployment using Simulink Coder™ and for Simulink Real-Time™ targets.
For RoadRunner Scenario workflows, the Driving Radar Data Generator block supports standalone deployment using ready-to-run packages. For more information about generating ready-to-run packages for your Simulink model, see Publish Ready-to-Run Actor Behaviors for Reuse and Simulation Performance.
Version History
Introduced in R2021aR2024a: Usage with RoadRunner Scenario simulation does not require registering the sensor model using addSensors
function
Starting in R2024a, Simulink automatically instantiates a SensorSimulation
object and adds sensors defined in the model to the RoadRunner scenario. Hence, registering Driving Radar Data Generator block manually using the addSensors
function is not required. For more information on the new workflow, see the Add Sensors to RoadRunner Scenario Using Simulink example.
In releases prior to R2024a, you must manually register the block as a sensor model using the addSensors
function. For more information, see Adding sensors manually using addSensors
function is not required for Simulink models.
