Techniques for detecting multiple turn lane driving scenarios and suppressing blind spot monitoring warnings

Abstract

An advanced driver-assistance system (ADAS) and method for a vehicle each utilize a driving scenario detection system configured to detect whether the vehicle is involved in a multiple turn lane driving scenario where the vehicle is in one of a plurality of neighboring turn lanes, a blind spot monitoring system comprising an object sensing device configured to detect one or more objects in one or more of the neighboring turn lanes and output a blind spot warning in response to detecting one or more objects in the one or more neighboring turn lanes, and a controller configured to, using the driving scenario detection system, detect that the vehicle is involved in the multiple turn lane driving scenario and, in response to detecting that the vehicle is involved in the multiple turn lane driving scenario, temporarily suppress the blind spot warning output by the blind spot monitoring system.
