Dynamic propagation analysis in urban environments

Abstract

In order to satisfy the demand of the automotive industry about anti-collision systems, related to the protection of pedestrians and drivers, this paper proposes the development of an algorithm that achieves a dynamic analysis of urban scenarios. Typically, some objects of these scenarios can have a translation and/or rotation movement. For each sample of time a new scenario is built according to the information about the movements of the objects. Then, its corresponding simulation is performed using Geometrical Theory of Diffraction to analyse the propagation in outdoor environments and thus, to determine the position of obstacles.
