Driver Assistance System for a Vehicle, Vehicle and a Driver Assistance Method Implementable by the System

A method, the method comprising:

• receiving signals from a plurality of active object-detection sensors mounted at a vehicle, the plurality of sensors comprises two radar sensors mounted at opposite locations on the vehicle relative to a longitudinal centerline of the vehicle, a center of a field of view of each radar sensor directed away from the centerline and the field of view of each radar sensor overlapping with the field of view of the other radar sensor in a region of overlap crossing the centerline and forward of the vehicle;
• and
• determining a presence of an object in the region of overlap based only on signals received from only two of the active object-detection sensors.

A computer-readable storage medium comprising instructions that, when executed, configure a controller for a vehicle to execute a decision engine that:

• receives signals from a plurality of active object-detection sensors mounted at the vehicle, the plurality of sensors comprises two radar sensors mounted at opposite locations on the vehicle relative to a longitudinal centerline of the vehicle, a center of a field of view of each radar sensor directed away from the centerline and the field of view of each radar sensor overlapping with the field of view of the other radar sensor in a region of overlap crossing the centerline and forward of the vehicle;
• and
• determines a presence of an object in the region of overlap based only on signals received from only two of the active object-detection sensors.
