Road safety assistance method and system

Abstract

A road safety assistance method and system are provided. In the method, license plate information and wheel information of a neighboring vehicle are identified from an environmental image. Then, a vehicle type corresponding to the license plate information and the wheel information is determined, which includes comparing the license plate information with an encoding information, and comparing the wheel information with a specification information. The encoding information indicates a relationship between at least one of a numbering rule and a color of a license plate and a corresponding vehicle type, and the specification information indicates a relationship between at least one of a quantity, a size, a distribution, and a wheelbase of wheels and a corresponding vehicle type. Therefore, the accuracy of vehicle type identification is improved through dual information sources, so as to provide more reliable road safety assistance for a mobile vehicle.
