20100332068 | Method for scanning a surrounding environment of a vehicle - A method and a device are described for scanning the surrounding environment of a vehicle. When the vehicle falls below a first boundary speed a timer is triggered whose state is incremented until the vehicle exceeds a boundary speed, a check of the unobstructed view of the scanning device being carried out upon expiration of the time period recorded by the state of the timer and in which the state of the counter is incremented. | 12-30-2010 |
20120041632 | COMBINED LANE CHANGE ASSIST AND REAR, CROSS-TRAFFIC ALERT FUNCTIONALITY - A system and method for detecting a potential threat to a vehicle. The system generates a warning to a driver of the vehicle of the potential threat. The system includes an object detection device, a controller, and a human-machine interface (HMI). The object detection device is configured to detect objects next to the vehicle, approaching the vehicle from a side, and approaching the vehicle from behind. The controller receives an indication of a detected object from the object detection device, and determines a position, a speed, an acceleration, and a direction of travel of the detected object. The controller then categorizes the detected object as a potential threat when at least one of (a) the vehicle is moving forward and the detected object is adjacent the vehicle, (b) the vehicle is moving forward at a first speed and the detected object is approaching the vehicle from behind at a second speed relative to the first speed that indicates a time to collision is less than a predetermined threshold, and (c) the vehicle is moving in reverse and the detected object is approaching the vehicle from the side, the detected object is within a first distance of the vehicle and is traveling within a speed range. The HMI is coupled to the controller and is configured to receive an indication of the potential threat from the controller and to provide the warning to the driver of the potential threat. | 02-16-2012 |
20120330528 | DRIVER ASSISTANCE SYSTEMS USING RADAR AND VIDEO - A driver assistance system that includes a RADAR system, a video system, a brake control unit, and a controller, such as an engine control unit. The RADAR system is mounted on the front of the vehicle and is positioned to detect the location of various objects. The video system captures video images. The controller receives data from both the RADAR system and the video system and identifies objects and their locations based on both the RADAR and the video data. The controller then adjusts the operation of the engine and the vehicle brakes based on the identified objects and their locations. In some embodiments, the driver assistance system also includes a human-machine interface that notifies the driver when an object is identified and located. | 12-27-2012 |
20130063257 | DRIVER ASSISTANCE SYSTEM FOR REDUCING BLIND-SPOT-DETECTION FALSE ALERTS - A system for detecting objects in the blind spot of a host vehicle. When an object is detected in the blind spot of the host vehicle, the system analyzes other objects directly in front of or behind the detected object in the blind spot. If the other objects are moving, the system concludes that the object in the blind spot is also moving and, therefore, is a stagnating vehicle. If the other objects are not moving, the system concludes that the object in the blind spot is also a stationary object. The system generates a blind-spot-detection signal when it determines that a stagnating vehicle is located in the blind spot. | 03-14-2013 |
