Abstract
A device for blind spot determination of a second vehicle in a vicinity of a first vehicle includes a processor, configured to determine one or more context variables associated with the second vehicle; modify a model of the second vehicle based on one or more context variables; and determine a probability of the first vehicle being within an area of limited visibility in the modified model.
Claims18
A device for blind spot determination of a second vehicle in a vicinity of a first vehicle, comprising:
- a processor, configured to:
- determine one or more context variables associated with the second vehicle;
- modify a digital model of the second vehicle based on one or more context variables;
- determine a probability of the first vehicle being within an area of limited visibility in the modified digital model;
- and
- determine an action to mitigate a risk of collision with the second vehicle when the probability is outside of a range, wherein the action to mitigate the risk of collision comprises a change in course or trajectory and/or a change in speed;
- and
- control the first vehicle to perform the action to mitigate the risk of collision.
A non-transitory computer readable medium, comprising instructions which, if executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:
- determine one or more context variables associated with a second vehicle;
- modify a digital model of the second vehicle based on one or more context variables;
- determine a probability of a first vehicle being within an area of limited visibility in the modified digital model;
- and
- determine an action to mitigate a risk of collision with the second vehicle when the probability is outside of a range, wherein the action to mitigate the risk of collision comprises a change in course or trajectory and/or a change in speed;
- and
- control the first vehicle to perform the action to mitigate the risk of collision.
