METHOD, SYSTEM AND COMPUTER PROGRAM FOR ADAPTIVE COLLISION WARNING WITH DYNAMIC ADJUSTABLE WARNING ZONES FOR VEHICLES

Abstract

A method for issuing a warning is disclosed, comprising: receiving driving parameters of a vehicle (204); receiving sensor data relating to an object (206), wherein the sensor data include at least a relative speed and a relative position of the object (206) to the vehicle (204); generating at least one warning zone (400, 402) relative to an environment of the vehicle (204) based on the driving parameters of the vehicle (204), wherein a geometric shape of the respective warning zone (400, 402) depends on the driving parameters.If the object (206) is located at least partially within the warning zone (400, 402), the procedure further comprises: determining a distance line (410) between the object (206) and the vehicle (204), wherein the distance line (410) runs partially within the warning zone (400, 402); determining a time until the possible collision based on the distance line (410) and the relative speed; and issuing the warning if the time until the possible collision falls below a predetermined threshold.
