Description

TITLE OF INVENTION:A NAVIGATION ALERT SYSTEM FOR A VEHICLE AND A METHOD THEREOFTECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present disclosure relates to a navigation alert system. More particularly but not exclusively relates to a navigation alert system for a vehicle and a method of providing navigation alerts for a user of the vehicle.BACKGROUND

[0002] In modern vehicle navigation system, navigation accuracy and vehicle operation are critical for ensuring safe and efficient travel, particularly at intersections. However, existing systems face significant challenges that undermine their reliability. One of the primary issues arises from discrepancies between the directional signals indicated by the vehicle's blinkers and the actual intended route as determined by the navigation system.

[0003] When a vehicle approaches an intersection, the driver typically activates a turn signal to indicate the intended direction. However, the current navigation system may misinterpret these signals, leading to a scenario where the vehicle's blinker indicates a left turn, but the navigation system interprets the intended path as continuing straight or turning right. This misalignment creates confusion for both the navigation system and the driver, potentially resulting in improper guidance or incorrect vehicle behaviour at crucial moments. The lack of synchronization between driver intent and interpretation by the system poses a serious risk, increasing the likelihood of navigation errors and accidents at intersections.

[0004] Furthermore, conventional navigation systems rely on providing route instructions at key points — termed "points of guidance" or “identified turn” — where the vehicle is required to change its heading, such as making a turn or merging into a different lane. Unfortunately, these systems often lack the ability to deliver timely or flexible instructions. For instance, a vehicle may be directed to make a lane change or reduce speed very close to the point of guidance, leaving insufficient timefor the driver to react and safely complete the manoeuvre. This delay in instruction can result in instability in the vehicle's motion, forcing the driver to execute abrupt changes or sudden braking without adequate preparation.

[0005] The rigidity of the conditions under which the system operates exacerbates the problem. Traditional systems tend to apply generalized rules for lane changes or speed adjustments, failing to account for real-world variables such as traffic density, road curvature, or driver reaction time. Consequently, the process of determining when and how these functions should be executed becomes unreliable. This lack of flexibility requires drivers to compensate for system shortcomings, often leading to sudden or risky decisions that compromise safety.

[0006] Moreover, the limitations of these systems impose a heavy burden on drivers, who must interpret and respond to navigation instructions under pressure. Late route guidance may cause drivers to miss opportunities for safe lane changes or appropriate speed reductions, resulting in last-minute corrections that disrupt traffic flow or contribute to accidents.

[0007] Thus, the primary challenges of the existing navigation systems revolve around the lack of precise synchronization between vehicle signalling intentions (such as via blinkers) and the navigation system’s route guidance at intersections. Coupled with inadequate time margins for safe lane changes or speed reductions, these issues underscore the need for more advanced and flexible navigation system that can account for real-time variables, reduce the likelihood of erroneous recognition, and ensure drivers receive sufficient time to act on navigational instructions, ultimately enhancing both safety and driving stability.

[0008] Therefore, to solve the above-mentioned problems the present disclosure provides a navigation alert system for a vehicle and a method for alerting a user of the vehicle using the navigation alert system.SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

[0047] As shown in Figures 1 and 2, a navigation alert system (200) for a vehicle (100). The navigation alert system (200) comprises a plurality of sensors (201), a navigation module (202), at least one output device (203) and a control unit (204). The plurality of sensors (201) detects one or more real-time operating conditions (OR) of the vehicle (100). In one embodiment, the plurality of sensors (201) may be an integral part of the vehicle (100). The one or more real-time operating conditions (OR) include a real-time speed (SR) of the vehicle (100), a real-time steering angle (0) of the vehicle (100), or the like. Further, the navigation module (202) determines one or more navigation parameters (Np) of the vehicle (100). The one or more navigation parameters (Np) include at least one of one or more navigation icons (206), a predefined route of travel (207), a real-time distance of the vehicle (100) from a predefined location received via a wireless network (205), a predefined steering angle of the vehicle (100), or the like. Here the predefined location is an identified turn of the predefined route of travel (207, shown in Figure 4). The predefined route of travel (207) for the vehicle navigation alert system (200) is a specific path that has been set in advance for the vehicle (100) to follow. This route is typically determined based on various factors such as the shortest distance, fastest travel time, avoidance of certain areas, or the like. The plurality of sensors (201) includes but not limited to Speed Sensors, Steering Angle Sensors, LiDAR (LightDetection and Ranging), RADAR (Radio Detection and Ranging), Ultrasonic Sensors, Cameras, Inertial Measurement Units (IMU), GPS (Global Positioning System), accelerometers, gyroscopes, magnetometers.

[0048] In one of the embodiments of the present disclosure, the vehicle (100) is a two-wheeled type vehicle, a three wheeled vehicle, a four wheeled vehicle, a multi axle vehicle, or the like. In one of the embodiments of the present disclosure the vehicle (100) may be an Electric Vehicle (EV), a Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV), an Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) based vehicle and have components suitable for traction.

[0049] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the navigation module (202) integrates several components, including the plurality of sensors (201), processing units, and processes to interpret data and make navigation decisions. The navigation module (202) typically employs a combination of techniques like dead reckoning, where the current position is calculated based on the last known position, and external references from the GPS or landmark recognition to enhance accuracy. As per another embodiment of the present disclosure, there are several types of navigation modules (202), including Inertial Navigation Systems (INS), which use motion sensors to track position changes, and satellite navigation systems, which rely on signals from satellites to pinpoint location.

[0050] In one embodiment, the navigation module (202) can be part of a user device and communicated with the control unit (204) through the wired or wireless network (205). In another embodiment, the navigation module (202) can be integrated as part of a vehicle component. As per an advantage of the present disclosure, the integration of the navigation alert system (200) is able to efficiently combine and make use of the one or more navigation parameters (Np) from navigation module (202) with the one or more real-time operating conditions (OR) of the vehicle (100) to ensures that the communication intensity is appropriate, adapting to different driving conditions and reduces distractions. This enhances the user experience and makes the driving safer while alerting the user at appropriate times about critical manoeuvres. This also provides variability in the intensity of the alerts depending on navigational parameters and vehicle parameters.

[0051] In yet another embodiment of the present disclosure, the one or more navigation parameters (Np) may include essential metrics that guide the movement and positioning of the vehicle (100), or a user of the vehicle (100). Among the most critical types of navigation parameters are position, velocity, and heading. Position refers to the geographical coordinates (latitude, longitude, and altitude) that indicate a specific location in space, serving as the foundation for navigation of the vehicle (100). Velocity encompasses both speed and direction, providing insight into how fast and in what direction the vehicle (100) is moving; this is crucial for predicting future positions and adjusting trajectories. Heading indicates the direction in which the vehicle (100) or the user is facing. Together, these parameters enable the navigation alert system (200) to perform complex calculations for route planning and obstacle avoidance. For instance, the vehicle (100) utilizes the one or more navigation parameters (Np) to maintain its journey on a correct route of travel, adjust its course in real-time, and ensure it efficiently and safely changes the direction of travel, all while adapting to changes in environmental conditions or journey requirements. Understanding and accurately measuring the one or more navigation parameters (Np) is vital for enhancing the reliability and performance of navigation alert system (200).

[0052] The at least one output device (203) outputs the one or more navigation parameters (Np). As per an embodiment of the present disclosure, the at least one output device (203) may include but is not limited to an electronic device of the user such as smart phone, a display unit or an instrument cluster of the vehicle (100), a heads-up display (HUD) of the vehicle (100), wearable devices of the user etc. The control unit (204) is communicatively connected to the plurality of sensors (201) and the navigation module (202). The control unit (204) controls a communication intensity of the one or more navigation parameters (Np) based on a comparison of the one or more real-time operating conditions (OR) with the one or more navigation parameters (Np).

[0053] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the control unit (204) may include at least one of an Electronic Control Unit (ECU), an Adaptive Cruise Control system (ACC), a drive mode select system, a stability control system, anAutomatic Emergency Braking (AEB), a Lane Keeping Assist (LKA), Telematics Control Unit (TCU) etc. The ECU can process navigation data to adjust engine performance, transmission settings, and more. The adaptive cruise control maintains a set speed and distance from the vehicle ahead, adjusting throttle and braking based on navigation data and traffic conditions. The drive mode select system allow drivers to select different driving modes (e.g., Eco, Sport) that alter vehicle performance based on navigation and driving conditions. The stability control systems adjust braking and throttle to maintain vehicle stability, often using data from navigation systems to anticipate road conditions. The AEB uses navigation data to detect potential collisions and can automatically apply brakes to prevent accidents. LKA helps the vehicle (100) to stay withing its lane using navigation data and sensors to provide steering inputs. The TCU manage communication between the vehicle (100) and the navigation module (202), for real-time updates on the one or more navigation parameters (Np) and the one or more real-time operating conditions (OR) for the comparison.

[0054] The navigation alert system (200) in the vehicle (100) utilizes the one or more navigation icons (206), a predefined route of travel (207), the real-time distance of the vehicle (100) from the identified turn and the predefined steering angle to enhance user awareness and ensure safe navigation. When a user inputs a destination in , the navigation system that generates the predefined route of travel (207), displayed through the one or more navigation icons (206) on the at least one output device (203) which may be a display unit, an instrument cluster, a mobile device, a dashboard or an infotainment screen. In one embodiment, the communication intensity of the one or more navigation icons (206) is placed in an instrument cluster of the vehicle (100) in such a way that the same is easily visible to the user. Further, this allow the user to change the location on the predefined route of travel as per the convenience in the instrument cluster. In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the user is capable of changing the location of the one or more navigation icons (206) in the instrument cluster of the vehicle (100).

[0055] As the vehicle (100) approaches the identified turn or maneuver, the navigation alert system (200) monitors the predefined steering angle and compareit with the real-time steering angle (9) to check whether the real-time steering angle (9) is more than the predefined steering angle. The one or more navigation icons (296) are used to represent different functions and provide drivers with visual cues for safer and more efficient driving experience. For example, tum-by-turn arrow, which indicates the direction in which the driver needs to turn next. This arrow changes dynamically as the vehicle (199) approaches an intersection or exit.

[0056] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the vehicle (100) may be a two-wheeled vehicle and the predefined steering angle helps in determining a maximum lean angle that the two-wheeled vehicle can achieve while making the identified turn without tipping over. The lean angle of the vehicle (100) during the identified turn is crucial for maintaining stability and control. When the vehicle (100) leans into the identified turn, it balances gravitational force with the centripetal force needed to navigate it and helps to maintain traction with the road. An optimal lean angle ensures that the vehicle (100) remains stable. If the lean angle is too shallow, it risks sliding outward, while a steep lean angle could lead to losing grip and tipping over. The required lean angle is influenced by the real-time speed (SR) of the vehicle (100) and a radius of the identified turn. If the real-time speed (SR) is beyond a threshold limit or the identified turn is tight necessitates greater lean to maintain balance. Additionally, proper weight distribution across the tires is essential for maximizing grip. Therefore, the user can adjust the real-time steering angle (9) to keep it within the predefined steering angle. Thus, the present disclosed system can be adapted suitably for all types of two wheelers and considers their respective dynamics and configurations. Further, the lean angle value will vary depending upon the type of the vehicle and geometry of the vehicle.

[0057] In another embodiment, the vehicle (100) is a four wheeled vehicle such as a car. In the car, the real-time steering angle (9) is critical for navigating the identified turn effectively and safely. As the car enters the identified turn, the realtime steering angle (9) determines the path of its front wheels, influencing how sharply the car can navigate the identified turn. If the real-time steering angle (9) is large then it allows for tighter turns, enabling the car to follow the desired traj ectory. However, the real-time steering angle (9) must be balanced with the real-time speed(SR) and the weight distribution. If the identified turn is too sharp, then turning at high real-time speed (SR) can lead to understeering. During understeering the car slides toward the outside of the identified turn, or oversteering, where the rear of the car loses traction and the car spins out. Additionally, the real-time steering angle (9) affects the load on tires of the car, which is essential for maintaining grip. Therefore, to maintain the stability and responsiveness the vehicle (100), the user should keep the real-time steering angel (9) within the predefined steering angle during cornering.

[0058] If the real-time steering angle (9) is more than the predefined steering angle thereafter, the control unit (204) calculates the optimal timing for raising a user alert. If the user is nearing a critical point such as an identified turn or lane change, the control unit (204) adjust a communication intensity of the one or more navigation icons (206) along with an activation of audio and visual alerts, prompting the driver to adjust speed or position accordingly. This proactive approach not only helps the user to follow the navigation instructions accurately but also reduces the risk of errors, ensuring a smoother and safer journey. By seamlessly integrating these elements, the navigation alert system (299) effectively guides the user, improving both navigation and overall driving safety.

[0059] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the navigation alert system (200) comprises an artificial intelligence (Al) configured to control the at least one output device (203), and the at least one output device (203) is at least one of a plurality of indicator lamps of the vehicle (100). The plurality of indicator lamps may be manually activated by the user, as there may be instances where the user does not intend to make the identified turn despite receiving the user alert from the navigation alert system (200). For example, to indicate an emergency stop, in which all the indicator lamps are activated. This manual activation ensures that the user has full control over signalling their intended maneuvers. However, once the turn is initiated, the navigation alert system (200) enhances this process via the artificial intelligence (Al) by automatically deactivating the plurality of indicator lamps based on real-time navigation data.

[0060] Suppose the user follows the user alert and successfully completes the turn. In that case, the navigation alert system (200) detects this action through the one or more steering sensors (20 IB) and navigation inputs, such as the vehicle's position, orientation, and movement data from the navigation system. Utilising these signals, the navigation alert system (200) confirms that the vehicle (100) has passed through the identified turn. It automatically turns off the plurality of indicator lamps via the artificial intelligence (Al) without requiring any additional input from the user. This automation eliminates the need for the user to manually cancel the plurality of indicator lamps after each manoeuvre, reducing the risk of leaving the plurality of indicator lamps on unintentionally, which can cause confusion for other road users.

[0061] As per an advantage of the present disclosure, the navigation alert system(200) enhances safety, handling, communication efficiency of the vehicle (100) and also improves the user experience. By utilizing dynamic user alerts with varying communication intensity based on the real-time speed (SR) of the vehicle (100) and the real-time distance of the vehicle (100) to the identified turn.

[0062] As shown in Figure 3, after detecting that the vehicle (100) is turned on and is in motion, the control unit (204) automatically connects the plurality of sensors(201) and the navigation module (202) through a wired or a wireless network (205). As per an advantage of the present disclosure, the use of wireless network (205) further improves the efficiency of the navigation alert system (200) by enabling seamless and rapid data exchange between the control unit (204), leading to quicker response times and enhanced overall reliability. This ultimately improves road safety, enhances driver comfort, and optimizes vehicle navigation for a smoother and more precise driving experience.

[0063] During operation of the vehicle (100), the control unit (204) calculates the real-time distance of the vehicle (100) from a predefined location based on inputs received from the plurality of sensors (201). The plurality of sensors (201) includes one or more speed sensors (201A) that detect real time speed of the vehicle (100) and communicate the same to the control unit (204). In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the predefined location is an identified turn on the predefined route of travel (207).

[0064] Simultaneously, the control unit (204) receives the real-time distance of the vehicle (100) from the predefined location gathered from the navigation module (202). The control unit (204) receives the real-time speed (S) from the one or more speed sensors (201A) and also receives the real-time steering angle (0) of the vehicle (100) based on inputs received from the one or more steering sensors (20 IB) of the plurality of sensors (201). Then the control unit (204) controls the communication intensity of the one or more navigation icons (206) on at least one output device (203). The control unit (204) controls the communication intensity of the one or more navigation icons (206) based on the real-time distance of the vehicle (100) from the identified turn, the real-time speed (SR) of the vehicle (100) and the comparison of the real-time steering angle (9) with the predefined steering angle of the vehicle (100). In one embodiment the at least one output device (203) may include but is not limited to a smartphone, a wearable device (uses haptic feedbacks to convey the communication intensity), a display unit of the vehicle (100) and an instrument cluster of the vehicle (100) etc.

[0065] Further to the above, the control unit (204) is configured to increases the communication intensity of the one or more navigation icons (206) based on an increase in the real-time speed (SR) of the vehicle (100) and based on a reduction in the real-time distance of the vehicle (100) from the identified turn. Also, the control unit (204) adjust the communication intensity of the one or more navigation icons (206) based on a predefined distance of the vehicle (100) from the identified turn, the predefined steering angle of the vehicle (100) and a predefined threshold speed (SD) of the vehicle (100) stored in a memory of the control unit (204). For example, if the predefined distance of the vehicle (100) is 500 meters from the identified turn but the real-time distance of the vehicle (100) from the identified turn is 400 meters. Thereafter, with the further reduction of the real-time distance of the vehicle (100) from the identified turn, the communication intensity of the one or more navigation icons (206) (e.g. a frequency of turn signal) will increase proportionally.

[0066] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, where the predefined route of travel (207) has consecutive turns, in such route of travel, then the control unit (204) first retrieves the predefined distance, the predefined threshold speed (SD) and thepredefined steering angle for each of these turns from the navigation module (202). Thereafter the control unit (204) determines the communication intensity for each turn and adjusts it accordingly with the reduction in the real-time distance of each of these turns based on the real-time speed (SR) of the vehicle (100). For example, when there are three consecutive turns having the predefined distance of 400 m, 300 m, 200 m, predefined steering angles of 20 degrees, 30 degrees and 10 degrees and the predefined threshold speed (SD) of 20 km / hr, 30 km / hr and 60 km / hr respectively.

[0067] In one embodiment, the predefined steering angle is a maximum lean angle that a two-wheeled vehicle can make without tipping over while completing a turn and a maximum steering angle that multi-wheeled is required to manoeuvre the turn without suffering from understeer or oversteer. If the vehicle (100) is approaching the 400 m turn with the real-time speed (SR) higher than the predefined threshold speed. The control unit (204) will initiate conveying the one or more navigation icons (206) to the user via the at least one output device (203). This communication intensity of the one or more navigation icons (206) will increase with the decrease in the real-time distance of the vehicle (100) from the identified turn and will reach the maximum level when the vehicle (100) reaches the identified turn. Additionally, if the predefined threshold speed (SD) of the vehicle (100) for the identified turn is 50km / hr but the vehicle (100) is approaching the identified turn with the real-time speed of 60 km / hr. Then, the control unit (204) will increase the communication intensity of the one or more navigation icons (206) and this communication intensity will keep on increasing with the increase in the real-time speed (SR) of the vehicle (100). In short as the vehicle (100) approaches the identified turn its realtime distance and the real-time speed (SR) decreases and the communication intensity of the one or more navigation icons (206) increases proportionally.

[0068] Additionally, when the real-time speed (SR) of the vehicle (100) is more than the predefined threshold speed, the real-time steering angle (0) will be less than the predefined steering angle because at high speeds, the vehicle (100) will suffer from understeer and may not able to complete the identified turn without reducing the real-time speed. Therefore, the control unit (204) will increase the communicationintensity to alert the user to reduce the real-time speed (100) of the vehicle (100), so that the vehicle (100) can have an optimal lean angle while making the identified turn.

[0069] Conversely, if the real-time distance of the vehicle (100) from the identified turn is more than the predefined distance of the vehicle (100) from the identified turn, than the communication intensity of the one or more navigation icons (206) remains low. Also, when vehicle (100) has completed the identified turn, the control unit (204) proportionally decrease the communication intensity of the one or more navigation icons (206) to zero, when the real-time speed (SR) of the vehicle is less than a predefined threshold speed (SD) of the vehicle (100) stored in a memory of the vehicle (100) and based on the real-time distance of the vehicle (100) from the identified turn of the predefined route of travel (207). In short, while approaching the identified turn, the communication intensity of the one or more navigation icons (206) is proportional to the real-time speed (SR) of the vehicle (100) and inversely proportional to the real-time distance of the vehicle (100) from the identified turn. This variation in the communication intensity is conveyed to the user via at least one output device (203). Once the vehicle (100) completes the identified turn. The navigation alert system (200) stops the communication of the one or more navigation icons (206) and starts gathering the one or more navigation parameters (Np) of the next identified turn.

[0070] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the one or more navigation icons (206) may include the following, arrow icons indicate the direction of upcoming turns, with upward arrows showing the route ahead and sideways arrows signaling the identified turn. A destination marker, often represented by a flag or pin, identifies the final destination, while the current location is typically depicted as a blue dot or triangle on a navigation map. The route line, usually colored in blue or green, outlines the predefined route of travel (207) from the starting point to the final destination. Traffic icons provide real-time updates on road conditions, for example red for heavy traffic, yellow for moderate, and green for clear roads.

[0071] Additionally, a speed limit sign alerts the user to the legal speed on their current road, while points of interest (POI) icons highlight nearby amenities suchas fuel stations and restaurants. Icons for re-routing signal when the system is recalculating the route, and hazard icons warn of road hazards like construction zones or accidents. Together, these symbols enhance the navigation and allows the user to follow directions accurately and stay informed about their surroundings. The control unit (204) communicates the one or more navigation icons (206) in synchronization with a plurality of alert signals generated via at least one output device (203).

[0072] As per an advantage of the present disclosure, the navigation alert system (200) ensures that user receives more intuitive and timely visual cues via the one or more navigation icons (206). This reduces the likelihood of missed turns or sudden manoeuvres, as the increasing communication intensity correlates with the urgency of the action needed, providing a clear and immediate indication of when to slow down or to make a turn.

[0073] In another embodiment of the present disclosure, the plurality of alert signals may include the following turn alert signals provide both audio and visual notifications for upcoming turns, often accompanied by directional arrows through the at least one output device (203) (For e.g. a display unit). Speed limit alert signals notify the user when they exceed the predefined speed, typically with a visual warning or sound. Re-routing alert signals indicate when the control unit (204) is recalculating the route due to missed turns or road closures, along with updated directions. Traffic alert signals inform the user about congestion or delays that may impact their journey. Additionally, hazard warning signals indicate road hazards, such as construction zones or accidents, enhancing safety. Arrival notification signals indicate the approach to the destination, providing final guidance for parking, while lane change alerts prompt user to shift lanes as needed, especially in complex intersections. Points of interest alerts highlight nearby amenities, such as gas stations or restaurants, tailored to the driver's preferences. Together, these signals improve situational awareness, helping user to navigate confidently and safely.

[0074] As shown in Figure 4, an exemplary embodiment of the navigation alert system (200) has been provided. The navigation alert system (200) providesenhanced navigation capabilities for the vehicle (100). If the vehicle (100) is a GPS- supported one, the in-vehicle Human-Machine Interface (HMI) navigation system will function based on the destination chosen by the user. The navigation alert system (200) integrates data from the Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU), which supplies information about the motion, orientation, and acceleration of the vehicle (100). This data is combined with inputs from the real-time steering angle (9) and the real-time speed (SR) of the vehicle (100) to interpret and execute navigation instructions from the HMI navigation system. By leveraging this combination of sensor data and GPS mapping, the system ensures that the vehicle follows the rider’s chosen route with precise real-time adjustments.

[0075] For non-GPS-supported vehicle (100), the navigation alert system (200) connects with a mobile phone via Bluetooth or a wireless network (205). In this case, the mobile phone serves as the source for the one or more navigation parameters (Np), which can be delivered through voice commands or a mobile navigation app. In his case also, the navigation alert system (200) uses the IMU to track the motion, orientation, and acceleration of the vehicle (100) and combines it with inputs from the real-time steering angle (9) and the real-time speed (SR) of the vehicle (100) to provide accurate navigation, ensuring that the vehicle (100) stays on course based on the commands received from the mobile device.

[0076] After the ignition of the vehicle (100) is turned on, the navigation alert system (200) automatically connects the mobile navigation app to the at least one output device (203) through wireless network (205). In another embodiment, the connection between the navigation system (200) and the mobile navigation app can also be achieved through wired means such as USB cable. The at least one output device (203) can be an instrument cluster or a display unit of the vehicle (100). The instrument cluster or the display unit of the vehicle (100) can be integrated with the speedometer or separately installed. The mobile app shares the one or more navigation parameters (Np) with the at least one output device (203), such as the real-time distance of the vehicle (100) to an identified turn, total remaining time to the destination, total remaining distance etc. When the vehicle (100) approaches the identified turn, and there is a reduction in the real-time distance of the vehicle (100)from the identified turn and the real-time speed (SR) of the vehicle (100) exceeds the predefined speed. The navigation alert system raises an audio and / or visual user alert by flashing the one or more navigation icons (206) on the at least one output device (203) (For. e.g. an instrument cluster of the vehicle (100)).

[0077] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the navigation alert system (200) could be expanded to handle more complex navigation scenarios, such as multi-turn sequences or roundabouts, where the user may need to follow a series of turns in quick succession. In this embodiment, the navigation alert system (200) would intelligently manage the signalling and alert process to guide the rider through each stage, ensuring timely and accurate alerts for each turn while considering speed and flow of traffic. For instance, it could pre-emptively signal the next turn immediately after the first is completed in cases where the distance between tunes is short.

[0078] In another embodiment of the present disclosure, the navigation alert system (200) could be integrated with vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication networks, allowing the navigation alert system (200) to receive data from surrounding vehicles or infrastructure. This would enable the control unit (204) to anticipate potential hazards or sudden changes in traffic conditions and adjust the communication intensity of the one or more navigation icons (206) which is a turn signal accordingly. For instance, if another vehicle nearby is also approaching the same intersection, the navigation alert system (200) could adjust the communication intensity of the one or more navigation icons (206) to ensure optimal signalling of the one or more navigation icons (206) and avoid confusion or accidents.

[0079] In another embodiment of the present disclosure, the navigation alert system (200) involves enhanced rider assistance during emergency situations. If the rider fails to activate the turn signal lamps when approaching the identified turn, the control unit (204) escalates the communication intensity, such as louder audio cues or intensified visual feedback, to ensure that the user is aware of the identified turn. This fail-safe feature would enhance the safety aspect of the navigation alert system (200), ensuring that essential signals are not missed during complex or high-speed riding conditions.

[0080] As shown in Figure 5, a method (500) of providing navigation alerts for a user of a vehicle (100) by a navigation alert system (200) is provided. The method (500) provides a plurality of steps. At step (501) a plurality of sensors (201) of the vehicle (100) detects one or more real-time operating conditions (OR) of the vehicle (100). The one or more real-time operating conditions (OR) includes a real-time steering angle (0) of the vehicle (100). At step (502) a navigation module (202) of the navigation alert system (200) determines one or more navigation parameters (Np) of the vehicle (100). The one or more navigation parameters (Np) includes at least one of one or more navigation icons (206), a predefined route of travel (207), a real-time distance of the vehicle from a predefined location and a predefined steering angle of the vehicle (100). At step (502), the navigation module (202) determines a distance of the vehicle (100) from an identified turn based on the predefined route of travel (207). The predefined route of the travel is a navigation route generated on the at least one output device (203) of the vehicle (100) shown in Figure 6, based on one or more inputs of the user of the vehicle (100). In this embodiment, the at least one output device (203) is the display unit of the vehicle (100). The display unit in Figure 6 is part of the same module that contains the speedometer. However, in another vehicular configuration the display unit and therefore, the at least one output device (203) may be separate from the speedometer which may be installed in a separate module. At step (503) at least one output device (203) of the navigation alert system (200) conveys, the one or more navigation parameters (Np) which may include the one or more navigation icons (206). At step (503), the one or more navigation icons (206) are conveyed via at least one output device (203) of the navigation alert system (200).

[0081] At step (504) a control unit (204) of the navigation alert system (200) controls a communication intensity of the one or more navigation parameters (Np) based on a comparison of the one or more real-time operating conditions (OR) with the one or navigation parameters (Np). Simultaneously, the control unit (204) adjust the communication intensity of the one or more navigation icons (206) based on the comparison. If there is a reduction in the real-time distance of the vehicle (100) from the approaching identified turn then the control unit (204) increases thecommunication intensity of the one or more navigation icons (206) in an inversely proportional manner. For example, when the vehicle (100) approaches the identified turn the communication intensity of the one or more navigation icons (206) (e.g. a pictogram indicating a turn) increases with the decrease in the real-time distance of the vehicle (100) from the identified turn. Similarly, the communication intensity of the one or more navigation icons (206) increases with the increase in a real-time speed (SR) of the vehicle (100) when compared with a predefined threshold speed (SD) of the vehicle (100) stored in a memory of the control unit (204). Also, the control unit (204) increases the communication intensity of the one or more navigation icons (206) to a maximum level based on a predefined threshold distance of the vehicle (100) from the approaching identified turn i.e. when the real-time distance of the vehicle (100) from the identified turn is equal to the predefined threshold.

[0082] As shown in Figure 6, a vehicle (100) is provided. In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the vehicle (100) may be a two-wheeled vehicle, a threewheeled vehicle, a four wheeled vehicle (100) or a multi-wheeled vehicle. The vehicle (100) also comprises at least one output device (203), such as but not limited to a display unit, a steering assembly (102) and a navigation alert system (200). The display unit is configured to convey one or more operating conditions of the vehicle (100). In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the display unit is utilized to present critical information to the user of the vehicle (100) and include the following a central infotainment display that is typically a touchscreen that integrates navigation of the vehicle (100) with audio, climate control, and smartphone connectivity, serving as the primary interface for the predefined route of travel (207) and one or more controls of the control of the vehicle (100). Ahead- up displays (HUD) project essential information directly onto the windshield, allowing the user to view navigation prompts, speed, and other information without diverting their gaze from the road. Instrument cluster displays provide navigation information alongside traditional gauges, showing turn-by-tum directions and alerts within the line of sight of the user.

[0083] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the navigation alert system (200) provides an intelligent mechanism for managing the activation and deactivation of turn signal lamps of the vehicle (100) during navigation. The turn signal lamps are initially expected to be manually activated by the user, as there may be instances where the user does not intend to make the identified turn, despite receiving instruction from the navigation alert system (200). This manual activation ensures that the rider has full control over signalling. However, once the turn is initiated, the navigation alert system (200) enhances this process by automatically deactivating the turn signal lamps based on the one or more navigation parameters (NP).

[0084] If the user follows the instruction and successfully completes the turn, the control unit (204) detects this action via the one or more steering sensors (20 IB) embedded in the steering assembly (102). Utilizing this, the control unit (204) confirms that the vehicle (100) has passed through the identified turn and automatically turns off the turn signal lamps without requiring any additional input from the user. This automation eliminates the need for the user to manually cancel the turn signal lamps after making each turn, reducing the risk of leaving the signal on unintentionally, which can cause confusion for other road users.

[0085] As per an advantage of the present disclosure, the navigation alert system (200) improves the overall convenience and safety of the vehicle (100) by seamlessly integrating manual user control with automatic system responses. By allowing the user to retain control over turn signal lamps activation and automating the deactivation process based on the one or more navigation parameters (Np). Additionally, it reduces the cognitive load on the user, allowing them to focus more on the road while the system handles routine tasks.

[0086] In some embodiments, navigation details are incorporated into the rear-view mirrors of the vehicle (100), enabling easy access to prompts. In some other embodiments, a dedicated navigation screen is positioned in the center console for focused use. Furthermore, mobile devices are also integrated with the navigation alert system (200) that allows navigation apps from smartphones to be displayed on the infotainment screen of the vehicle (100) via platforms like Apple car-play orAndroid Auto. A voice-activated system may also be provided that enhances the overall navigation experience by ensuring that user has clear and accessible information to make informed decisions on the road.

[0087] The steering assembly (102) steers the vehicle (100). The navigation alert system (200) raises a navigation alert for a user of the vehicle (100). The navigation alert system (200) comprises a plurality of sensors (201), a navigation module (202), at least one output device (203) and a control unit (204). The plurality of sensors (201) detects one or more real-time operating conditions (OR) of the vehicle (100). The navigation module (202) determines one or more navigation parameters (Np) of the vehicle (100). The at least one output device (203), (such as a display unit of the vehicle (100) and / or an instrument cluster) conveys the one or more navigation parameters (Np) and the alert to the user. The control unit (204) is also communicatively connected to the plurality of sensors (201) and the navigation module (202) and adjust a communication intensity of the one or more navigation parameters (Np) based on a comparison of the one or more real-time operating conditions (OR) with the one or more navigation parameters (Np).

[0088] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the one or more navigation parameters (Np) include at least one of one or more navigation icons (206), a predefined route of travel (207), a real-time distance of the vehicle (100) from a predefined location and a predefined steering angle of the vehicle (100). The one or more navigation icons (206) include arrow icons to indicate the direction of upcoming turns and the predefined location is an identified turn. The one or more real-time operating conditions (OR) include a real-time speed (SR) of the vehicle (100) and a real-time steering angle (0) of the vehicle (100).

[0089] When the vehicle (100) approaches the identified turn and has the real-time speed (SR) more than a predefined threshold speed (SD) stored in the memory of the control unit (204). Then the control unit (204) increases the communication intensity (e.g. frequency of blinking of the one or more icons (206)) of the one or more icons (206), as the real-time distance of the vehicle (100) decreases from the identified turn. The control unit (204) communicates the one or more icons (206) via the at least one output device (203). Further, when the vehicle (100) completesthe identified turn, the control unit (204) starts decreasing the communication intensity with the increase in the real-time distance of the vehicle (100) from the identified turn.

[0090] In another embodiment of the present disclosure, the navigation alert system (200) involves the complete automation of turn signal lamps activation based on the one or more navigation parameters (Np), eliminating the need for manual input. In this scenario, the control unit (204) automatically activates the turn signal lamps when the vehicle (100) approaches the identified turn, as detected. The control unit (204) calculates the precise timing of signal activation based on the real-time speed (SR) of the vehicle (100), the real-time distance of the vehicle (100) to the identified turn, and traffic conditions, providing optimal signalling behaviour without any intervention from the user. Once the turn is completed, the control unit (204) automatically deactivates the signal, offering a fully autonomous signalling process that enhances convenience and reduces user error.

[0091] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the navigation alert system (200) is integrated with real-time traffic data and road conditions. For example, if the vehicle (100) approaches an intersection with heavy traffic or complex lane configurations. Then, the control unit (204) adjust the timing of the conveying of the one or more navigation icons (206) and accordingly activates turn signal lamps. It provides the user with earlier or more frequent alerts in congested or high-risk areas, helping the user to prepare for turns more safely and efficiently. Thereby enhancing the adaptability of the navigation alert system (200) to different driving environments.

[0092] In yet another embodiment of the present disclosure, the navigation alert system (200) can be configured to have customizable alerts features for the user. For example, the navigation alert system (200) allows user to select different types of alerts, such as audio cues, haptic feedback (vibrations) through wearable devices, or visual notifications on a heads-up display (HUD) integrated into the helmet or dashboard. This flexibility enables the user to choose the alert mode that best suits their preferences and driving style, ensuring that the navigation alert system is bothpersonalized and effective. In an embodiment, the turn signal lamps may also change colour.

[0093] According to the above, the present disclosure provides various advantages. In a preferred embodiment, the navigation alert system (200) enhances safety, handling, communication efficiency of the vehicle (100) and also improves the user experience. By utilizing dynamic user alerts with varying communication intensity based on the real-time speed (SR) of the vehicle (100) and the real-time distance of the vehicle (100) to the identified turn.

[0094] The navigation alert system (200) ensures that user receives more intuitive and timely visual cues via the one or more navigation icons (206). This reduces the likelihood of missed turns or sudden manoeuvres, as the increasing communication intensity correlates with the urgency of the action needed, providing a clear and immediate indication of when to slow down or to make a turn.

[0095] Additionally, the integration of the navigation alert system (200) with the one or more real-time operating conditions (OR) of the vehicle (100) ensures that the communication intensity is appropriate, adapting to different driving conditions and reduces distractions.

[0096] The integration of the wireless network (205) with the navigation alert system (200) enables seamless and rapid data exchange to the control unit (204), leading to quicker response times and enhanced overall reliability. This improves road safety, enhances driver comfort, and optimizes vehicle navigation for a smoother and more precise driving experience.

[0097] The integration of the navigation alert system (200) with the vehicle-to- everything (V2X) communication networks, allows the navigation alert system (200) to receive data from surrounding vehicles or infrastructure. This enables the control unit (204) to anticipate potential hazards or sudden changes in traffic conditions and adjust the communication intensity of one or more navigation icons (206) accordingly and avoid confusion or accidents.

[0098] The navigation alert system (200) involves enhanced rider assistance during emergency situations to ensure that the user is aware of the identified turn. This failsafe feature enhances the safety aspect of the navigation alert system (200),ensuring that essential signals are not missed during complex or high-speed riding conditions.

[0099] The navigation alert system (200) improves the overall convenience and safety of the vehicle (100) by seamlessly integrating manual user control with automatic system responses. Additionally, it reduces the cognitive load on the user, allowing them to focus more on the road while the navigation alert system (200) handles routine tasks.

[0100] The customizable alert features of the navigation alert system (200) enable the user to choose the alert mode that best suits their preferences and driving style, ensuring that the navigation alert system (200) is both personalized and effective.

[0101] While the present disclosure has been shown and described with reference to the foregoing preferred embodiments, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that changes in form, connection, and detail may be made therein without departing from the scope of the disclosure.

[0102] This written description uses examples to provide details on the disclosure, including the best mode, and also to enable any person skilled in the art to practice the disclosure, including making and using any devices or systems and performing any incorporated methods.
