AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) in vehicles do not provide accessible warnings and responses for sensory-impaired individuals, leading to a disconnect from vehicle functions and increased safety risks.

Method used

A system and method that utilizes a control unit to integrate input data from vehicle sensors with AD functions, generating real-time warnings through interface, audio, and haptic feedback units tailored to the sensory impairments of users, including visual cues, audible warnings, and vibration patterns.

Benefits of technology

Enables sensory-impaired individuals to independently use ADAS by clearly communicating vehicle actions and environmental information, reducing confusion, anxiety, and accident risk through personalized and accessible warnings.

Abstract

The present disclosure provides a system (102) and a method (500) for enabling real-time warnings for sensory-impaired persons (402-1) in a vehicle (100). The system (102) comprises a control unit (104) that receives input data from one or more sensors (112) corresponding to the vehicle's (100) environment. The control unit (104) integrates the input data with one or more advanced / assisted driver (AD) functions to enable one or more advanced driver responses (AD responses). The control unit (104) generates one or more real-time warnings based on the one or more AD responses and the input data.The control unit (104) delivers one or more real-time warnings to the one or more sensorily impaired person(s) (402-1) using a preferred response mode which includes at least one of the following components: an interface unit (106), an audio unit (108) and a haptic feedback unit (110) of the vehicle (100).
