Front Blind Zone Indication and Alert

摘要

The present invention provides early indications to the driver while there are objects in the vehicle front blind spots and alerts them if they (host vehicle 1) attempt to change trajectory towards the objects of interest 3. A critical use-case of such alerts is when the host vehicle 1 attempts to pass a relatively large vehicle 2 on the right while the driver docs not have view of all objects, especially ones with decreasing speed 3. This feature relies on but is not limited to the host and surrounding vehicles such as 4, 3, and 2 front and side cameras, Long Range Radars (LRR), Short Range Radars (SRR), map module, and leveraging vehicular communication system including all types of communication (V2X). An algorithm is utilized to aggregate all the possible inputs and detect objects of interest 3 and notify the driver of ahead and side obstructions.
