US 2017/0365165 A1 · METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR ADJUSTING A SAFETY MARGIN THRESHOLD OF A DRIVER SUPPORT FUNCTION

Abstract

A method for adjusting a safety margin threshold of one or more driver support functions of a vehicle, to be suitable for a driving zone in which the vehicle is—or is to be—positioned comprises determining a geographical position of the vehicle, determining a driving zone associated with the vehicle position, which driving zone is selected from one or more pre-defined geographical driving zones, deriving previous statistical driving behaviour data indicative of one or more statistical driving style safety indicators associated with the driving zone, and adjusting a safety margin threshold of at least a first driver support function of the vehicle, based on the one or more statistical driving style safety indicators. The disclosure also relates to a driver support threshold adapting system in accordance with the foregoing, and a vehicle at least partly comprising such a driver support threshold adapting system.

Dependent claims

A method performed by a driver support threshold adapting system for adjusting a safety margin threshold of one or more driver support functions of a vehicle, to be suitable for a driving zone in which said vehicle is, or is to be, positioned, said method comprising:

determining a geographical position of said vehicle;
determining a driving zone associated with said vehicle position, said driving zone being selected from one or more pre-defined geographical driving zones;
deriving previous statistical driving behaviour data indicative of one or more statistical driving style safety indicators associated with said driving zone;
and
adjusting a safety margin threshold of at least a first driver support function of said vehicle, based on said one or more statistical driving style safety indicators.
