摘要: This report documents the research project 'Evaluation of Current Technologies and Development of Novel Techniques for Detection of Obstacles Buried in Snow,' performed in response to a California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) Request for Proposals (RFP). The project's goal was the development of a radar system to detect obstacles obscured by deep snow, and to provide range information for guardrails under snowbanks. After the project started, the need for such a system was re-evaluated by Caltrans end users and management, and it was determined that such a system would not currently be cost-beneficial. In response, research work performed in one quarter, which included the development of complete architecture and high-level system design, as well as preliminary detailed system design. The report also provides further information on the motivation and history of the project.
