Solution Overview

Problem

Vehicle perception systems are insensitive to obstacles moving at low speeds, leading to potential collisions due to delayed speed perception, as existing evaluation methods focus on speed magnitude and direction errors rather than sensitivity to low-speed obstacles.

Innovation Solution

A testing method and apparatus that acquire actual and perceived speeds of a test object to determine the speed reporting delay time of the vehicle perception system, reflecting its sensitivity to low-speed obstacles, by comparing actual and perceived speed changes over time.
