Ultrasonic sensors function according to the echo sounding principle. The ultrasonic waves emitted by ultrasonic sensors are reflected by objects within their field of view and re-emitted by the sensor. The signal echoes received by the sensors are evaluated in the central control unit and distances are determined with centimeter precision and at high speed. In addition, the evaluation of so-called cross echoes from neighboring ultrasonic sensors allows intelligent localization of detected objects.
The functionality is insensitive to harsh environmental conditions such as dust, fog or rain. The off-highway ultrasonic systems also provide multichannel operation, which provides high measurement update rates and prevents cross sensor signal interferences. In order to enable the wide range of applications of ultrasonic sensor systems on mobile machines, numerous adjustable parameters allow a flexible and application-oriented optimization of the system.
