Smoothed Velocity Formula Elements

Variables
Smoothed Velocity
Smoothed Velocity is the smoothed estimate of target's present velocity on the basis of the past detections by the track-while-scan surveillance radar.
Symbol: vs
Measurement: SpeedUnit: m/s
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
(n-1)th Scan Smoothed Velocity
(n-1)th Scan Smoothed Velocity is the smoothed estimate of target's velocity at the n-1 th scan by the track-while-scan surveillance radar.
Symbol: vs(n-1)
Measurement: SpeedUnit: m/s
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Velocity Smoothing Parameter
Velocity Smoothing Parameter is the tuning parameter which is used to improve the quality of smoothed velocity estimated by the track-while-scan surveillance radar to avoid noisy measurements.
Symbol: β
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Time between Observations
Time between observations is the time taken between two successive observations made by the track-while-scan surveillance radar.
Symbol: Ts
Measurement: TimeUnit: s
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Measured Position at Nth Scan
Measured position at Nth scan is the measured or actual position of target at the nth scan by the track-while-scan surveillance radar.
Symbol: xn
Measurement: LengthUnit: m
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Target Predicted Position
Target Predicted Position is the predicted or estimated position of target at the nth scan by the track-while-scan surveillance radar.
Symbol: xpn
Measurement: LengthUnit: m
Note: Value should be greater than 0.

How to Evaluate Smoothed Velocity?

Smoothed Velocity evaluator uses Smoothed Velocity = (n-1)th Scan Smoothed Velocity+Velocity Smoothing Parameter/Time between Observations*(Measured Position at Nth Scan-Target Predicted Position) to evaluate the Smoothed Velocity, The Smoothed Velocity formula is the smoothed estimate of target's present velocity on the basis of the past detections by the track-while-scan surveillance radar. Smoothed Velocity is denoted by vs symbol.

How to evaluate Smoothed Velocity using this online evaluator? To use this online evaluator for Smoothed Velocity, enter (n-1)th Scan Smoothed Velocity (vs(n-1)), Velocity Smoothing Parameter (β), Time between Observations (Ts), Measured Position at Nth Scan (xn) & Target Predicted Position (xpn) and hit the calculate button.

FAQs on Smoothed Velocity

What is the formula to find Smoothed Velocity?
The formula of Smoothed Velocity is expressed as Smoothed Velocity = (n-1)th Scan Smoothed Velocity+Velocity Smoothing Parameter/Time between Observations*(Measured Position at Nth Scan-Target Predicted Position). Here is an example- 9.3 = 11+8/320*(6-74).
How to calculate Smoothed Velocity?
With (n-1)th Scan Smoothed Velocity (vs(n-1)), Velocity Smoothing Parameter (β), Time between Observations (Ts), Measured Position at Nth Scan (xn) & Target Predicted Position (xpn) we can find Smoothed Velocity using the formula - Smoothed Velocity = (n-1)th Scan Smoothed Velocity+Velocity Smoothing Parameter/Time between Observations*(Measured Position at Nth Scan-Target Predicted Position).
Can the Smoothed Velocity be negative?
Yes, the Smoothed Velocity, measured in Speed can be negative.
Which unit is used to measure Smoothed Velocity?
Smoothed Velocity is usually measured using the Meter per Second[m/s] for Speed. Meter per Minute[m/s], Meter per Hour[m/s], Kilometer per Hour[m/s] are the few other units in which Smoothed Velocity can be measured.
