Traffic surveillance is an important civilian application of radars. The current high-resolution radars give new
opportunities so that the traffic application may be redefined. In this paper, a traffic scenario with a high-resolution radar
is presented. A range-bin alignment method, the Global Range Alignment, which comes from the focusing techniques in inverse synthetic aperture radar, is applied to obtain further capabilities than the usual velocity measurement: distinction between vehicle types via length estimation and adequate management in situations with simultaneous targets. Preliminary results from a real scenario using a high-resolution linear frequency-modulated continuous-wave millimeter-wave radar are shown.
