Description
1 TARIFF A SELECTOR WARNING SYSTEM Technical Area This invention analyzes the flashing headlights of vehicles approaching from behind while the vehicle is in motion. a system that provides audible and / or visual notifications to the user inside the vehicle It is related to the system. Previous Tech 10 When vehicles use the left lane, sometimes they occupy the left lane when traveling at low speeds. They are able to do this and do not notice the flashing headlights of the vehicles behind them. Driving fast in the left lane in emergency situations where drivers do not notice the turn signals This causes a waste of time for the necessary tools. 15 Therefore, the flashing headlights of vehicles approaching from behind while the vehicle is driving a system that provides audible and / or visual notifications to the user inside the vehicle It is understood that the system is needed. United Kingdom patent number GB2543641A, which is included in the prior art. a document aimed at coordinating lane change permissions between two vehicles It relates to the vehicle-to-vehicle communication system. The first vehicle's computer receives information from a sensor. It detects a signal from a second vehicle (e.g., turn signal or headlight) and... It determines that the second vehicle has requested permission to change lanes. Then a response is given. 25 It generates a response and transmits this response to the second vehicle. The second vehicle's computer, if it receives a response from the first vehicle... If it receives a clearance signal, it can initiate the lane change maneuver. Brief Description of the Invention 2 The purpose of this invention is to detect what vehicles approaching from behind do while the vehicle is in motion. the use of turn signals to provide audible and / or visual notifications to the user inside the vehicle The goal is to create a system that provides this. Detailed Description of the Invention 5 A "Selector Warning System" has been added to achieve the purpose of this invention. as shown in the figures; Figure 1; A schematic view of the system that is the subject of the invention. 10 The parts shown in the figures are individually numbered, and these numbers... The corresponding answers are given below. 1. System 15 2nd Camera 3. Radar sensor 4. Sensor 5. Vehicle computer The flashing headlights of vehicles approaching from behind while the vehicle is in motion... a system that provides audible and / or visual notifications to the user (1); - located on the vehicle, providing the most accurate information about the road the vehicle is traveling on and its surroundings. at least one camera configured to receive a small amount of image data (2), 25 - objects positioned on and around the vehicle and their distance. at least one radar sensor configured to detect (3), - positioned on the vehicle and used to determine the steering angle. at least one configured sensor (4) and - keypad and / or touchscreen located inside the vehicle 30 an input unit in the form of and that automatically processes the data on it, and 3 having a processor that runs at least one software program that produces meaningful results, obtained from the camera (2) and sensors (3,4) by being triggered at certain periods Using data, determine the lane the vehicle is in on the road it is traveling on. If it detects that the vehicle is traveling in the leftmost lane, the vehicle behind it will follow the most dangerous one. Determining the distance between the vehicle closest to it and the vehicle behind it (5) If the vehicle detects that the distance is lower than a certain threshold value, To determine if the turn signal is being used, to check if the turn signal is correctly aimed at the vehicle. If it detects it, it can determine whether the vehicle has changed lanes or not. if it determines that the turn signal is correct and the vehicle is not changing lanes 10 audio and / or visual information about the selector switch on the screen to the user It includes at least one vehicle computer (5) configured to transmit warnings.
