Abstract

A driver alert system for a vehicle and a method for operating the driver alert system are disclosed. The driver alert system for the vehicle includes an alert system triggering event detection module for detecting a driver alert system triggering event. The alert system triggering event detection module includes at least one of a steering event detection module for detecting a steering event, a blind spot detection module for detecting a blind spot event, and a front collision warning event detection module for detecting a front collision warning event. The driver alert system for the vehicle includes a driver alert level determination module for determining a driver alert level for the driver alert system triggering event. The driver alert system also includes a driver alert module for alerting the driver of the vehicle using a driver alert device based on the driver alert.

Description

BACKGROUND[0001]A collision between a vehicle and an obstacle in the blind spot of the vehicle is a common type of traffic accident that can be caused by the driver of the vehicle being unaware of the presence of the obstacle. Further, a collision between the vehicle and an obstacle, when the obstacle is in the process of overtaking the vehicle, is another common type of traffic accident that can be caused by the driver of the vehicle being unaware of the presence of the obstacle. Additionally, a collision between the vehicle and an obstacle in front of the vehicle is another common type of traffic accident that can be caused by the driver of the vehicle being unaware of the presence of the obstacle.BRIEF DESCRIPTION[0002]According to one aspect, a method for operating a driver alert system for a vehicle includes detecting a driver alert system triggering event, wherein the driver alert system triggering event is at least one of a steering event, a blind spot event, and a front coll...
