Abstract
A method and system for generating and outputting a targeting warning in association with a road agent is provided. The method includes detecting, by a sensor operating in conjunction with a computing device of a vehicle, a road agent at a distance from the vehicle, analyzing, by the computing device of the vehicle, one or more characteristics of the road agent at the distance, generating, by the computing device, a targeted warning based on analyzing the one or more characteristics of the road agent at the distance, and outputting, by a component operating in conjunction with the computing device of the vehicle, the targeted warning in association with the road agent at the distance.
Claims22
A method comprising:
- detecting, by a sensor operating in conjunction with a computing device of a vehicle, a road agent at a distance from the vehicle;
- analyzing, by the computing device of the vehicle, one or more characteristics of the road agent at the distance;
- generating, by the computing device, a targeted warning based on analyzing the one or more characteristics of the road agent at the distance, wherein the targeted warning is restricted to a perimeter that is specific to the road agent;
- outputting, by a component operating in conjunction with the computing device of the vehicle, the targeted warning on a body part of the road agent at the distance;
- and
- detecting, via an additional sensor, an orientation of eyes of a driver of the vehicle relative to the road agent at a different distance.

A system for alerting a road agent, the system comprising:
- a sensor of a vehicle;
- a component of the vehicle;
- a computing device of the vehicle, wherein the computing device is configured to:
- detect, by the sensor operating in conjunction with the computing device of the vehicle, the road agent at a distance from the vehicle;
- analyze, by the computing device of the vehicle, one or more characteristics of the road agent at the distance;
- generate, by the computing device, a targeted warning based on analyzing the one or more characteristics of the road agent at the distance, wherein the targeted warning is restricted to a perimeter that is specific to the road agent;
- output, by the component operating in conjunction with the computing device of the vehicle, the targeted warning on a body part of the road agent at the distance;
- and
- detecting, via an additional sensor, an orientation of eyes of a driver of the vehicle relative to the road agent at a different distance.
A method comprising:
- detecting, by a sensor operating in conjunction with a computing device of a vehicle, a road agent at a distance from the vehicle;
- analyzing, by the computing device of the vehicle, one or more characteristics of the road agent at the distance;
- outputting, by a component operating in conjunction with the computing device of the vehicle, a targeted warning on at least one of eyes and ears of the road agent at the distance, wherein the targeted warning does not interfere with an additional road agent located within a vicinity of the road agent;
- and
- detecting, via another sensor, an orientation of eyes of a driver of the vehicle relative to the road agent at a different distance.
