ABSTRACT:
A Doppler-based radar system used to determine the speed of a selected moving target includes an array of selectable filters and related method for determining the speed of the selected moving target traveling in the same lane as a moving patrol vehicle supporting the radar system independent of the direction of the target relative to the platform. This allows the speed of the target vehicles traveling in the same lane and in the same direction as the patrol vehicle to be monitored without manual assistance from the operator. The radar system is further adapted in a stationary mode of operation to determine the speed of a selected moving target independent of the location of the patrol vehicle. This is accomplished by selectively filtering either all approaching or receding targets depending upon the traffic scenario.
