This U.S. patented tag technology by scientists at Los Alamos National Laboratory enhances the visibility of objects to vehicle radar systems by amplifying and retransmitting radar signals, thereby enabling earlier and more reliable detection to help prevent collisions — particularly in applications like autonomous vehicles, transportation, defense, and industrial automation. The Challenge: Modern vehicles, especially those with autonomous driving features or driver-assistance systems, rely heavily on radar to detect nearby objects. However, radar systems struggle with: Small or non-metallic objects like bicycles, motorcycles, pedestrians, or animals. Objects with a low radar cross-section, meaning they don-t reflect radar signals well. Poor weather or visibility conditions, which reduce radar accuracy even further. Because of this, important objects may not be detected until it-s too late—putting lives at risk and limiting the safety capabilities of smart vehicles. How it Works: When a radar-equipped vehicle sends out signals to detect what-s ahead, the tag receives those signals, filters and strengthens them using built-in electronics, and then sends them back out. This makes the object carrying the tag — such as a bicycle, person, or piece of roadside equipment — appear larger and easier to detect on the radar. The design of the tag ensures that the signals are amplified without causing interference, so it works smoothly with any standard automotive radar system. As a result, vehicles can recognize tagged objects from farther away. Key Advantages: Universal compatibility: Functions with any radar-equipped vehicle regardless of brand or radar type—no special software or calibration needed. Compact and lightweight: Small enough to be worn or attached to bikes, helmets, backpacks, traffic cones, or roadside equipment. Improved object detection: Makes small or low-visibility objects (like bicycles, pedestrians, or animals) e...
