Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to intelligent transportation technology, and in particular to a dynamic vehicle wake display and lateral collision avoidance early warning method. Background Art

[0002] Within the transportation system, special sections such as tunnels and bridges are high-accident areas due to limited space, drastic changes in lighting, and narrow driver fields of view. Existing technologies generally use fixed traffic lights or static speed limit signs, without adjusting warning strategies based on the vehicle's real-time status. For example, traditional lane change display systems use only a single color to indicate lane occupancy and fail to reflect the acceleration and deceleration dynamics of the preceding vehicle. Lateral departure warnings often rely on onboard cameras or millimeter-wave radar, but are prone to misjudgment in unusual circumstances, such as curves or in rainy and foggy weather. Furthermore, speed control methods still primarily rely on fixed speed limits, lacking the ability to regulate driver behavior through visual guidance.

[0003] These shortcomings can lead to insufficient reaction time for vehicles behind and increased risk of side collisions, especially at long tunnel entrances and exits, on curved bridges, and on other roads, where the accident rate is significantly higher than on ordinary roads. Therefore, a hybrid safety system is needed that can sense vehicle motion in real time and dynamically adjust optical warning strategies. Summary of the Invention

[0008] According to the above solution, in step 3), when rainy and foggy weather is detected, The judgment threshold is set at 1.2 times the original threshold.

[0009] According to the above solution, the interval between the arc-shaped LED units in step 3) is set to 10m.

[0010] According to the above solution, the distance between the light-emitting units in the LED light strip in step 4) is set to 5m.
