Abstract
A method for providing adaptive vehicle-proximity guidance may include monitoring transit-condition data of a roadway traversed by a user-vehicle. The method may further include determining, based at least in part on the transit-condition data, a proximity zone. The method may further include generating a first visual representation that corresponds to the proximity zone. The method may further include displaying the first visual representation onto the roadway proximate the proximity zone and updating the first visual representation in response to detected changes in the transit-condition data.
Claims16
A method comprising:
- monitoring transit-condition data of a roadway traversed by a user vehicle, the roadway, comprising a set of lane markers attached to the roadway, wherein the transit-condition data comprises roadway-characteristic data;
- determining, based at least in part on the roadway-characteristic data, a first proximity zone;
- generating a first visual representation that corresponds to the first proximity zone;
- displaying the first visual representation onto the set of lane markers, the displaying comprising continuously projecting the first visual representation onto the set of lane markers by continuously detecting lane marker positions corresponding to the set of lane markers;
- detecting a change in the transit-condition data;
- and
- updating the first visual representation in response to the detecting, resulting in an updated first visual representation.
A system comprising:
- a set of sensors configured to monitor transit-condition data of a user vehicle in transit on a roadway, the roadway comprising a set of lane markers attached to the roadway, wherein the transit-condition data comprises swerving information corresponding to the user vehicle;
- a processor configured to determine, based at least in part on the swerving information, a first proximity zone,
- wherein the processor is configured to generate a first visual representation that corresponds to the first proximity zone;
- a set of illumination devices configured to display the first visual representation onto the set of lane markers, the display comprising a continuous projection of the first visual representation onto the set of lane markers by continuously detecting lane marker positions corresponding to the set of lane markers;
- the processor further configured to update the first visual representation in response to a detected change in the swerving information, resulting in an updated first visual representation.
A system comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory in communication with the processor, the memory containing program instructions that, when executed by the processor, are configured to cause the processor to perform a method, the method comprising:
- monitoring transit-condition data of a roadway traversed by a user vehicle, the roadway comprising a set of lane markers attached to the roadway,
- wherein the transit-condition data comprises ambient-environment data;
- determining, based at least in part on the ambient-environment data, a first proximity, zone;
- generating a first visual representation that corresponds to the first proximity zone;
- displaying the first visual representation onto the set of lane markers, the displaying comprising continuously projecting the first visual representation onto the set of lane markers by continuously detecting lane marker positions corresponding to the set of lane markers;
- detecting a change in the transit-condition data;
- and
- updating the first visual representation in response to the detecting, resulting in an updated first visual representation.
