Method and system for providing blind spot warning to vehicles

A method for providing blind spot warning to vehicles at a premise, comprising:

• mounting a housing at the premise, the housing configured to signal vehicles approaching from a first side and a second side, the housing comprising a sensor sub-system and a microcontroller;
• detecting thermal radiation of nearby animate entities using at least one Passive Infrared (PIR) sensor within the sensor sub-system;
• determining vectored distances of surrounding objects using at least one Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) sensor within the sensor sub-system;
• determining non-vectored distances of surrounding objects using at least one Ultrasonic sensor within the sensor sub-system;
• capturing velocity and trajectory of the vehicles using at least one Doppler speed measurement sensor within the sensor sub-system;
• processing sensor data at the microcontroller, the processing comprising:
• receiving the sensor data from the sensor sub-system;
• analysing the received data from the sensor sub-system;
• producing a warning signal based on the analysis of the sensor data;
• sending the warning signal from the microcontroller to an indicator sub-system;
• providing warning indications to the vehicles approaching from the first side and the second side using the indicator sub-system;
• transmitting the analysed data from the housing to a server;
• and
• wherein the sensor data is collected based on one or more parameters comprising at least one of arrangement of the housing at a location, lighting condition of surrounding environment of the housing, humidity condition of the location, and sensitivity set for the location.

A blind spot alert system, comprising:

• a housing mounted at a premise, the housing being configured at a location to signal vehicles coming from a first side and a second side, the housing comprising:
• a sensor sub-system, comprising:
• at least one Passive Infrared (PIR) sensor configured to detect thermal radiation of nearby animate entities;
• at least one Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) sensor configured to determine vectored distance of surrounding objects;
• at least one Ultrasonic sensor configured to determine non-vectored distance of the surrounding objects;
• at least one Doppler speed measurement sensor configured to capture velocity and trajectory of the vehicles;
• at least one camera configured to detect at least one object in the blind spot of the vehicles;
• a microcontroller configured to process data received from the sensor sub-system, wherein processing data comprising:
• receiving sensor data and object detection data from the sensor sub-system;
• analyzing the received data from the sensor sub-system;
• producing a warning signal based on the analysis;
• and
• sending the warning signal to an indicator sub-system, wherein the indicator sub-system provides warning indication to the vehicles coming from the first side and the second side;
• and
• a server configured to receive analyzed data from the housing, wherein the server comprises a diagnostic sub-system to manage the sensor sub-system malfunctions.
