Abstract
A system and method for using a variety of sensors monitors road conditions in real time determines the best lane for vehicle travel. The system may automatically choose the best lane, or assist a driver in making that decision. Its sensors include LIDAR sensors, vehicle wheel-speed and yaw sensors, acceleration sensors, and microphone sensors.
Claims13
A system for determining the optimal lane for vehicle travel under adverse road conditions comprising:
- at least one forward-facing sensor fixedly engaged with a vehicle and electrically coupled with an onboard computer;
- and
- at least one sensor for monitoring vehicle speed and direction, electronically coupled to the onboard computer;
- and
- a user interface;
- wherein
- the at least one forward-facing sensor is configured to scan a road in proximity of the vehicle to detect lane boundaries and road conditions, and to generate high-resolution 3D images of road surfaces;
- and the at least one sensor for monitoring vehicle speed and direction is configured to monitor the vehicle's movement and orientation;
- and the onboard computer gathers data from each sensor and performs calculations, which are sent to and interpreted by the user interface, which is configured to provide real-time feedback to a vehicle driver.
