Abstract

A method for adaptive target processing in a vehicle the radar involves first detecting targets in the monitored environment with respect to their speed and location in a standard mode of the radar sensor, and then switching to a precision mode, in which the distance measuring range of the radar sensor is adapted to the target surroundings detected in the standard mode. More particularly, the measuring accuracy and/or resolution regarding speed is increased by increasing the time of observation within the distance measuring range adapted to the target surroundings.
