UWB to the rescue – cost-effective in-cabin sensing with AI and sensor fusion
Abstract
Ultra-Wideband (UWB) radar is emerging as a compelling solution for in-cabin sensing, particularly for Child Presence Detection (CPD) in line with Euro NCAP requirements. Compared to 60 GHz radar, UWB’s key advantage lies in cost efficiency by leveraging existing hardware that is already being deployed for digital key functionality. This talk further explores how Machine Learning and sensor fusion, combining UWB with camera systems, can enhance detection performance and robustness while maintaining a cost-effective architecture.
In this session, you will learn more about:
- What are the regulatory requirements for Child Presence Detection and related in-cabin safety functions and how does this affect the required sensor setup?
- How does UWB compare to 60 GHz radar for in-cabin sensing applications?
- What are the key challenges when developing reliable UWB-based CPD systems, minimizing both missed detections and false positives?
- How can TinyML algorithms and UWB-camera fusion improve detection accuracy and robustness?
