Driving assisting apparatus and accident notification method thereof

Abstract

The invention discloses a driving assisting apparatus and an accident notification method thereof. The apparatus and the method are used in an action carrier. The driving assisting apparatus includes a shooting module, a range finding unit, a sensing module, an analyzing module and a processing module. The shooting module acquires the peripheral images of the action carrier. The range finding unit measures a relative distance of the action carrier to other action carrier, and emits a notification signal when the relative distance is less than a preset value. The processing module controls a warning unit to emit a warning signal according to the notification signal. The sensing module generates a sensing signal when the action carrier is bumped by the another action carrier. When the processing module receives the sensing signal, the analyzing module is controlled to analyze the peripheral images and identify the another action carrier in the peripheral images in order to generate action carrier information. The processing module controls a communication module to send the notification information containing the action carrier information to a pre-arranged receiving end. By adopting the apparatus and the method, the occurrence of a bumping accident is avoided, and the occurrence possibility of the accident is effectively reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a driving assisting device, in particular to a driving assisting device capable of instant reporting when an accident occurs and an accident reporting method thereof. Background technique [0002] In recent years, with the improvement of living standards and the strengthening of consumers' purchasing power, the number of vehicles has increased year by year, but with it, traffic accidents have also increased year by year. Due to the increasing development of technology and the diversification of vehicle safety equipment, most vehicles are equipped with camera devices such as driving recording devices or reversing image capture devices, which can capture or record images around the vehicle to help drivers drive straight. It is used when changing lanes or parking, and the driving recording device can be further used to help clarify the responsibility for the accident. For example, the recorded images can be used by relevan...
