This paper demonstrates the benefit of scanning perception systems especially scanning radars on vehicle detection in ITS applications. Theoretical results prove that the distance of detection can be drastically improved and traffic scenarios be recognized with the use of scanning systems. Higher detection distance enables suitable anticipative actions in the vehicles control for avoiding car accidents.
