New dataset and model tackle automotive radar hardware fault diagnosis

Researchers have introduced Rad-R, a new dataset designed for diagnosing hardware faults in automotive mmWave radar systems. This dataset pairs raw-ADC radar recordings with controlled hardware fault data, independent physical severity measurements, and synchronized streams from IMU, temperature, GPS, and cameras. A benchmark evaluation demonstrated that the proposed RadrNet model, particularly its capture-invariant variant, outperformed existing methods like RD-CNN on cross-severity generalization tasks, achieving a macro-F1 score of 0.663.

IMPACT This research could improve the reliability and safety of automotive radar systems by enabling better detection of hardware faults.

    Rad-R: A Raw-ADC Radar Dataset and Capture-Invariant SSM for Hardware-Fault Diagnosis

    arXiv:2608.30896v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Automotive mmWave radar can develop vibration, antenna misalignment, radome blockage, and receive-channel degradation that corrupt the signal before perception begins. Data for these faults are scarce because each condition must be …
