SENSOR FUSION AND TACTILE WARNING-BASED VEHICLE SAFETY SYSTEM

Abstract

The invention relates to a vehicle safety system (1) configured to detect risks around the vehicle and warn the driver, with the aim of enhancing driving safety in a vehicle. The system comprises a radar sensor (10), an image detection unit (20) and a lidar sensor (30) that receive sensing data from the vehicle environment; haptic actuators (81) located on the driver's seat (80), a visual warning unit (110), an audible warning unit (100), an AEB control unit (90) and a processor unit (70). The processor unit (70) creates an environmental model by subjecting the data received from the sensors to a sensor fusion process, determines the risk status and generates a visual warning, audible warning, tactile warning or braking signal according to the risk range.
