1. A method for operating a radar system on a vehicle to reduce nuisance alerts caused by a stationary structure proximate to the vehicle, said method comprising:
- providing a radar system that includes a radar antenna and a controller;
determining by the system a stationary count indicative of the number of targets presently detected by the radar system that are within a travel path of the vehicle and are classified by the radar system as stationary; and
indicating by the system that the vehicle is proximate to a stationary structure if the stationary count is greater than a count threshold.
