SARA - About SARA GROUP

Automotive Short Range Radar (SRR) is expected to be a key technology for new systems of active and passive safety.

SARA stands for the Strategic Automotive Radar frequency Allocation group, comprised of automotive manufacturers and component suppliers supporting the introduction of ultra-wide band (UWB) short range vehicular radar.

SARA was formed in 2001 and works for the worldwide frequency allocation for automotive radar including the development of technology standards.

05.11.2008 Technologies saving lives on the road: three contributions awarded by Commissioner Reding

At the "Saving Lives Awards" ceremony, Mrs. Viviane Reding, European Commissioner for the Information Society and Media, rewarded personalities and organizations who made outstanding contributions to improve road safety based on Information and Communication Technologies (ICT).

03.04.2007 SARA supports eSafety Aware

eSafety Aware has the goal to enhance road safety by providing information to drivers about safety technologies, including driver assistance systems. The campaign ‘Choose ESC’ (ESC - Electronic Stability Control) will be launched on 8th May 2007. ESC scans driving dynamics to provide driver assistance. The next logical step is sensing vehicles' surroundings, which can be done by radar to provide drivers with road and safety information.
