TLDR
In this paper, the authors present a visual mobility assist device which provides a conformal, augmented display to assist a moving body in either lane keeping or collision avoidance, or both.Abstract:
The present invention is directed to a visual mobility assist device which provides a conformal, augmented display to assist a moving body. When the moving body is a motor vehicle, for instance (although it can be substantially any other body), the present invention assists the driver in either lane keeping or collision avoidance, or both. The system can display objects such as lane boundaries, targets, other navigational and guidance elements or objects, or a variety of other indicators, in proper perspective, to assist the driver.read more

Patent
Accident Avoidance Systems and Methods
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present an accident avoidance system for a host vehicle that includes a global positioning system for determining the host vehicle's location based on signals received from one or more satellites, a map database having digital maps corresponding to an area, a vehicle-to-vehicle communication system for receiving signals including location information acquired by global positioning systems residing on other vehicles directly from other vehicles indicating the locations of the other vehicles.
Patent
Haptic device with indirect haptic feedback
TL;DR: A haptic device provides indirect haptic feedback and virtual texture sensations to a user by modulation of friction of a touch surface of the device in response to one or more sensed parameters and/or time as discussed by the authors.
Patent
En-route navigation display method and apparatus using head-up display
TL;DR: In this paper, a cable is illustrated volumetrically and with an optic flow that is consistent with the optic flow of the landscape when the vehicle is moving, thereby creating the impression that it is real.
Patent
Monocular display device
TL;DR: In this paper, a monocular display with a wireless communications interface, a user input device, a transmitter, receiver and a controller is configured to control the transmitter for sending and receiving control signals to and from an external device via the wireless interface.
Patent
System and method for preventing vehicular accidents
TL;DR: In this article, an anticipatory sensor system is used to determine that an impact involving the vehicle is about to occur unless a corrective action is taken based on data obtained prior to the impact and determining whether the potential impact requires activation of a reactive system which controls operation of the vehicle.

Video mirror systems incorporating an accessory module
TL;DR: In this paper, a vehicular video mirror system includes an interior rearview mirror assembly and a video display assembly, which is adjustable about the mirror-mounting portion for adjusting the rearward field of view of the reflective element.
Patent
Accident avoidance system
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a system for preventing vehicle accidents in which GPS ranging signals relating to a host vehicle's position on a roadway on a surface of the earth are received on a first communication link from a network of satellites and DGPS auxiliary range correction signals for correcting propagation delay errors in the GPS ranging signal from a station or satellite.

Computer aided map location system
David M. Delorme,Keith A. Gray +1 more
TL;DR: A computer aided map location system (CAMLS) as discussed by the authors provides correlation and coordination of spatially related data between a computer (PDA/PC/EC) and a set of printed maps typically printed on paper depicting surface features at desired levels of detail.
Patent
Method and system for an in-vehicle computing architecture
TL;DR: In this article, a computing architecture for a motorized land-based vehicle is described, which includes a data network comprised of a plurality of interconnected processors, a first group of sensors responsive to environmental conditions around the vehicle, a second group of sensor responsive to the vehicle's hardware systems, and a map database containing data that represent geographic features in the geographic area around a vehicle.
Patent
Motor vehicle warning and control system and method
TL;DR: In this paper, a decision computer mounted in the controlled vehicle receives such code signals along with code signals generated by the speedometer or one or more sensors sensing steering mechanism operation and generates control signals.
