Dynamic forward collision alert system

A method of providing a collision warning within a vehicle comprises detecting an object and determining the distance to the object, identifying when a driver is distracted and measuring the time that the driver has been distracted, calculating an actual time to collision, modifying first and second...

Zusammenfassung:	A method of providing a collision warning within a vehicle comprises detecting an object and determining the distance to the object, identifying when a driver is distracted and measuring the time that the driver has been distracted, calculating an actual time to collision, modifying first and second pre-determined time to collision thresholds based on information from the driver monitoring system and creating first and second modified time to collision thresholds, comparing the actual time to collision to the first and second modified time to collision thresholds, sending a signal to a driver interface to provide an initial warning to the driver when the actual time to collision is less than the first modified time to collision threshold, and sending a signal to the driver interface to provide an imminent collision warning to the driver when the actual time to collision is less than the second modified time to collision threshold.
