DRIVING ASSISTANCE DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18625396 titled 'DRIVING ASSISTANCE DEVICE
The driving assistance device controls the notification device to issue a predetermined alert to the occupants of the own vehicle if, at a first point in time, it detects the existence of a first driving lane L adjacent to the lane L in which the own vehicle is traveling, and no stationary object is present in a predetermined area R[n+10] located ahead of the own vehicle in that first driving lane L, and then, at a second point in time after the first point in time, when the own vehicle is positioned on the side of this predetermined area, it detects the presence of a solid object OB within said area and that the distance Δd between this solid object OB and the own vehicle is less than a threshold.
- The device issues alerts to occupants based on lane detection and object proximity.
- Alerts are triggered when a solid object is detected within a certain distance of the vehicle.
- The system monitors adjacent lanes and the presence of stationary objects to ensure safety.
- The technology aims to enhance driver awareness and prevent collisions.
- The innovation combines lane detection and object proximity sensing for improved safety measures.
Potential Applications: - Automotive safety systems - Driver assistance technology - Collision avoidance systems
Problems Solved: - Improving driver awareness - Enhancing vehicle safety measures - Preventing collisions with solid objects
