Embodiment Construction

[0019] figure 1 A vehicle 10 is shown with a driver assistance system 11 . The driver assistance system 11 is a device for warning the driver in a motor vehicle of potential hazards arising outside said vehicle. The driver assistance system 11 includes a warning system 14, which may include a plurality of lights 20, such as figure 1 shown. Throughout this disclosure, the relative directions of front and rear are referenced to the direction that an operator of the vehicle 10 is primarily facing when operating the vehicle 10 .

[0020] A controller 16 is controllably coupled to the alert device 14 and is operable to enable the alert device 14 to generate an alert, as will be described in further detail below. Hazard detection system 18 is communicatively coupled to controller 16 . Hazard detection system 18 includes one or more hazard detection devices, which may be dispersed in various places around the vehicle such as in rear corner 212 . The hazard detection system 18 an...

Abstract

An apparatus and system for alerting a driver within an automotive vehicle is provided. An alerting device is disposed within the vehicle, which is configured to alert a driver. A controller is operable to activate the alerting device to produce an alert. A hazard detecting device is configured to detect a hazard. The controller is configured to activate the alerting device to produce the alert if the hazard detecting device detects a hazard. The alert is produced a predetermined reaction time period before a desired driver response. The controller is configured to determine a driver response time. The driver response time includes the time from the alert to an actual driver response. The controller is configured to alter the predetermined reaction time period based on the driver response time. A method for assisting a driver of a vehicle and a non-transitory machine-readable medium that provides instructions are also provided.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 61 / 976,589, filed April 8, 2014. The disclosures of the aforementioned applications are incorporated herein by reference. technical field [0003] The present disclosure relates to motor vehicles, and more particularly to systems, methods and devices for automatically alerting drivers. Background technique [0004] Advances in available sensor technology allow for improved safety systems for vehicles. One such improved system is an arrangement and method for detecting and avoiding collisions. This type of system is known as a driver assistance system. Driver assistance systems can include sensors located on the vehicle to detect oncoming collisions. Using any number of available warning systems, the system can warn the driver of various driving conditions to prevent or minimize collisions. In addition, driver assistance systems can provide spe...
