Method of warning intersection right turn hazards with an intersection entry guidance system for a vehicle

A method of providing warning for a right turn hazard, the method comprising:

• determining, by in an intersection entry and right turn determination engine, an entry of a subject vehicle into a right turn at an intersection based on intersection information obtained from a vehicle information sensor and turning-on of a blinker of the subject vehicle;
• recognizing, by in a traffic light recognition engine, a verifiable traffic light-blinking pattern from intersection traffic light information by a first vehicle exterior information sensor;
• identifying, by an intersection situation determination engine, a first scenario for each intersection entry from the verifiable traffic light-blinking pattern and an intersection situation classification table;
• and
• upon the entry of the subject vehicle into the right turn, outputting, by the intersection situation determination engine, an intersection scenario-specific warning according to the first scenario or a second scenario for each intersection entry to a human machine interface (HMI) of the subject vehicle.

A vehicle intersection entry guidance system, comprising:

• a vehicle sensor configured to detect at least one of intersection information, right turn information, a traffic light-blinking pattern determined from at least one of a left crosswalk traffic light, a right crosswalk traffic light, and a road-traveling traffic light at an intersection, or an object longitudinal movement pattern of an object passing through the intersection;
• an intersection controller configured to, upon a right turn of a subject vehicle at the intersection,
• generate a first scenario for each intersection entry according to the traffic light-blinking pattern and a second scenario for each intersection entry according to a combination of the traffic light-blinking pattern and the object longitudinal movement pattern, and
• output an intersection scenario-specific warning according to the first scenario and the second scenario;
• and
• a human machine interface (HMI) configured to generate the intersection scenario-specific warning.
