Driver assistance system with camera and radar integration
The granted patent US12043310B2 outlines a driver assistance system designed to enhance vehicle safety and navigation through advanced monitoring and alert mechanisms. The system integrates a camera and radar within the vehicle to gather image and radar data, which are processed by a controller. This controller is responsible for transmitting steering signals to facilitate lane following assistance. It also detects the driver's engagement with the steering device and issues warning signals if the driver fails to respond. The system is programmed to identify unsuitable conditions for lane assistance, such as lane disappearance, collision risks, or changes in lane width, and to escalate warning levels accordingly.
The control method described in the patent emphasizes a staged warning approach. Initially, a lower-level visual warning is issued if the driver does not engage with the steering device for a specified period. If the lack of engagement continues, a higher-level warning, which may include audible or audiovisual alerts, is activated. The controller can also immediately issue a higher-level warning if it detects an unsuitable state for assistance before the designated time periods elapse. This method aims to ensure that drivers remain attentive and responsive while utilizing lane following assistance, thereby enhancing overall road safety.
