VEHICULAR SENSING SYSTEM AND CONTROL SYSTEM UTILIZING SHORT RANGE COMMUNICATION WITH TRANSMITTERS AT THE ROAD OR TRAFFIC SIGNS

A vehicular driving assistance system includes a data processor configured to process sensor data captured by a sensor disposed at a vehicle. As the vehicle travels along a road, the vehicular driving assistance system receives signals from a plurality of communication devices disposed at respective geographic locations along the road and associated with respective road elements of the road. The vehicular driving assistance system, responsive to receiving respective signals from the plurality of communication devices, determines road information based on at least one selected from the group consisting of (i) the respective geographic locations of the respective communication devices and (ii) the respective road elements associated with the respective communication devices. The vehicular driving assistance system is configured to at least partially control operation of the vehicle based in part on the determined road information.
