A method for providing a driver assistance
system, the method is implemented using a driver assistance
system (1) comprising a processor (14) and an
image acquisition unit (11), the method comprising the following steps a) Control of the
image acquisition unit (11) by the processor (14) to continuously acquire images of the vehicle's surroundings; b) Performing an
image processing procedure by the processor (14) on at least one of the images captured by the
image acquisition unit (11); c) Determine, by the processor (14), whether a
traffic sign displaying a message has been detected in at least one of the images; d) if the finding in step c) is positive, determine, by the processor (14), whether additional information relating to the
traffic sign is detected that indicates a state associated with the message; e) Determine, by the processor (14), whether an alarm action needs to be performed based on at least the message displayed by the
traffic sign and a current state associated with the vehicle, the current state comprising a
current time, current weather, movement of the vehicle or any combination thereof, and f) if the determination in step e) is positive, execution of the alarm action by the processor (14), characterized by, that the procedure between steps d) and e) further includes: g) if in at least one of the images in step c) a flat surface comprising a group of traffic signs is detected and additional information associated with one of the traffic signs is detected in relation to one of the traffic signs in step d), selection of one of the traffic signs as a traffic sign to be processed; where step e) is carried out in relation to the traffic sign to be processed, and that step g) further includes: Select one of the traffic signs with the additional information as the primary traffic sign; Determine whether at least part of the current state matches at least part of the future state; If the assessment is positive, carry out step e) with regard to the primary traffic sign that serves as the traffic sign to be processed; and If the finding is negative, carry out step e) with regard to the other traffic sign that serves as the traffic sign to be processed.
