Abstract
A system for collision prevention of a host vehicle includes a camera sensor and/or a radar sensor mounted to the host vehicle and having a field of view outside of the host vehicle. A controller communicatively connected to the camera or radar sensor is configured to determine a first lateral distance between a preceding vehicle running in a same direction as the host vehicle and one of a roadway center line or an oncoming vehicle located in the opposite lane with respect to the host vehicle. The controller compares the first lateral distance to a second lateral distance to determine a danger of collision, and controls a danger warning device to generating a warning signal according to a result of the comparison. A method for collision prevention is also provided.
Claims22
A collision monitoring system of a host vehicle comprising:
- at least one of a camera sensor or a radar sensor mounted to the host vehicle and having a field of view outside of the host vehicle;
- and
- a controller communicatively connected to the at least one of the camera sensor or the radar sensor and configured to perform functions to:
- determine a first lateral distance between a preceding vehicle running in a same direction as the host vehicle and a roadway center line apparent on a roadway surface;
- compare the first lateral distance to a predetermined second lateral distance to determine a danger of collision;
- and
- control a danger warning device to generate a warning signal according to a result of the comparison.
A collision monitoring method comprising:
- determining, based on sensing data captured by a sensor mounted to a host vehicle, a first lateral distance between a preceding vehicle running in a same direction as the host vehicle and a roadway center line apparent on a roadway surface;
- comparing, in a processor coupled to the sensor mounted to the host vehicle, the first lateral distance to a predetermined second lateral distance to determine a danger of collision;
- and
- controlling a danger warning device communicatively connected to the processor to generate a warning signal according to a result of the comparison.
A collision monitoring method for a host vehicle comprising:
- sensing, using at least one of a camera sensor or a radar sensor mounted to the host vehicle, an area around the host vehicle to generate image data or radar sensing data;
- determining, by a processor communicatively connected to the at least one of the camera sensor or the radar sensor, based on the image data or radar sensing data, a first distance orthogonal to a route of the host vehicle and between a preceding vehicle running in a same direction as the host vehicle and a roadway center line apparent on a roadway surface;
- and
- selectively controlling, by the processor, at least one of a braking controller or a steering controller of the host vehicle based on the result of the determined first distance.
