==VEHICLE OBJECT DETECTION SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DETECTING A TARGET OBJECT IN A DETECTION AREA LOCATED BEHIND AND LATERAL OF A SUBJECT VEHICLE - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18483811 titled 'VEHICLE OBJECT DETECTION SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DETECTING A TARGET OBJECT IN A DETECTION AREA LOCATED BEHIND AND LATERAL OF A SUBJECT VEHICLE

==Simplified Explanation==

The vehicle object detection system described in the abstract is designed to determine if a detected object is an alert object and then warn the driver accordingly. The system makes this judgement based on factors such as the relative speed of the object with respect to the vehicle, the absolute speed of the object in a transverse direction, and the estimated arrival position of the object in the detection area.

* The system is configured to analyze the relative speed of the target object compared to the subject vehicle and the absolute speed of the object in a transverse direction within a specified range.
* The system also considers the estimated arrival position of the target object in the detection area within a specific period of time to determine if it is an alert object.

== Potential Applications ==
This technology could be applied in:
* Advanced driver assistance systems
* Autonomous vehicles
* Traffic management systems

== Problems Solved ==
This technology helps to:
* Improve road safety by alerting drivers to potential hazards
* Enhance situational awareness for drivers
* Reduce the risk of collisions with objects in the vehicle's path

== Benefits ==
The benefits of this technology include:
* Increased safety for drivers and pedestrians
* Enhanced efficiency in traffic flow
* Reduced accidents and injuries on the road

== Potential Commercial Applications ==
Potential commercial applications of this technology include:
* Integration into automotive vehicles
* Licensing to manufacturers of autonomous vehicles
* Implementation in smart city infrastructure projects

== Possible Prior Art ==
One possible prior art for this technology could be existing object detection systems used in vehicles, such as radar or lidar systems.

=== What are the specific technical specifications of the vehicle object detection system described in the abstract? ===
The abstract does not provide detailed technical specifications of the system, such as the specific sensors used or the processing algorithms involved.

=== How does the warning system communicate with the driver in the subject vehicle? ===
The abstract does not specify the method of communication between the warning system and the driver, whether it is through visual, auditory, or haptic alerts.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

A vehicle object detection system configured to generate a judgement on whether a target object which has been detected in the detection area is an alert object, and to output the judgement to a warning which is configured to output a warning to a driver of the subject vehicle based on the judgement indicating that the target object is an alert object, wherein system is configured to generate the judgement based on at least one of a comparison of a difference between a relative speed of the target object with respect to the subject vehicle and an absolute speed of the target object in a transverse direction of the subject vehicle with a specified range, and a comparison of an estimated arrival position of the target object, which is a position the target object is estimated to reach in the detection area in a specific period of time.
