@ai6yr Fantastic idea for use of #radar reflective fabric. #Safety for vulnerable road users is a major issue for automated driving, whether they use radars or just visual spectrum cameras.

I assume you mean reflective wearable cycling gear, not the bike itself. But don’t neglect the bike. There is not much surface area to reflect the signal so bikes are sometimes not very salient. It’s a big problem. I’d also suggest childrens’s clothing and toys as potentially good use cases.

As to testing, yes. I’d aim for a proof-of-concept first. There are several types of automotive radars from various venders. Each might have different detection results. Scanning, phased array, and flash radars for example. Stationary vs. moving radar targets also make a difference. Certain paints are radar reflective to various degrees (another can of worms as it is an attack vector). With flash radars, there is no temporal lag between data points due to scan time because the flash illuminates everything all at once. No blurring of the image. You can easy read signs, etc with flash radar images.

A big problem will be that manufacturers use big data #AI techniques (similar to LLMs) to train the detectors. It would be a big effort to collect enough new data to quantify detection and recognition.

I suggest pitching the idea to companies like 3M who are already making radar reflective tape and paint.

Hmm, wondering if there is any way to test if sewing mylar bits into bicycle gear might help with triggering the radar on modern cars and/or autonomous vehicles (ie more than just the big metal bit which is the bicycle itself).

10-jähriges Jubiläum für #stadtradeln in @koeln und die #nebelkerze ist gezündet:
stadt-koeln.de/artikel/73574/i

In der erwähnten Plattform #RADar sind schon so lange so viele Probleme mit der #Radinfrastruktur eingetragen, Berge von Bürger haben sich Arbeit gemacht - und es wird einfach ignoriert.
Ich habe schon reichlich Eingaben bei #SagsUns gemacht, ob #Drängelgitter, Fehlschaltungen oder #Bettelampel... - und nix passiert. Über #wegli gemeldete dauerhafte #Radwegparker stehen immer noch da!

www.stadt-koeln.deSTADTRADELN 2025Jetzt registrieren und vom 11. Juni bis 1. Juli 2025 mitradeln.

[Storm Thread - Mid WIllamette Valley, Oregon]

So it begins.

We are now seeing a few stormheads between Corvallis and Newport.

Here in the mid-valley, the overcast is just taking us now, nothing impressive in the skies yet, but watching the satellite views, I see crazy amounts of clouds springing up as the front moves in.
