TLDR
In this article, a collision avoidance system for use in a vehicle is described, where a sensor subsystem is used to capture sensor data relating to one or more areas outside the vehicle, and a threat assessment is sent to a feedback subsystem so that if appropriate, a response is generated by the system.Abstract:
A collision avoidance system for use in a vehicle. The system facilitates the avoidance of other vehicles and other potential hazards or obstacles. A sensor subsystem is used to capture sensor data relating to one or more areas outside the vehicle. Sensor data is sent from the sensor subsystem to a threat assessment subsystem for generating a threat assessment from the sensor data. The threat assessment is then sent to a feedback subsystem so that if appropriate, a response is generated by the system. The response can take the form of a visual, audio, and/or haptic warning. The response can also take the form of changes with respect to the vehicle itself, such as an automatic reduction in speed. The system can incorporate user-based attributes, vehicle-based attributes, and environment-based attributes in evaluating potential threats and contemplating system responses to those threats. A wide variety of different heuristics can be applied by the system. The system can be configured to minimize nuisance alarms and accommodate distinctions between users based on user preferences, user history, and other factors.read more

Patent
Driving assistance device
TL;DR: In this paper, a device for providing driving assistance for a driver of the vehicle to avoid the object of the risk subject when driving the vehicle, which includes an object determination unit that detects the object, a collision prediction time calculation unit that calculates a time to collision which is a time indicating a degree to which the vehicle approaches to the object; an estimated risk level determination unit, indicating a possibility of the object moving onto a predicted travelling path of the driver.

Systems and methods for modeling driving behavior of vehicles
TL;DR: In this paper, a system for modeling driving includes a model component and an automatic driving system, which is configured to execute a driving maneuver for the first vehicle based on the anticipated behavior of a proximate second vehicle.
Patent
Method and system for combining sensor data
TL;DR: In this paper, a method for combining sensor data collected by at least two sensors (100, 110) coupled to at least one application (50) was proposed, where at least 1 of the sensors provided driver-related sensor data of a driver related behavior and at least 2 external sensors provided sensor date not related to driver- related behaviour.

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.
Patent
Method and apparatus for determining driver fitness in real time
TL;DR: In this article, a method and apparatus for evaluating a driver's performance under actual real-time conditions to determine the driver's ability to safely operate a vehicle, utilizes the information that is gathered by a radar system (200, 210) and other sensors (4a), together with information previously stored in an event recording device.
Patent
Method and apparatus for transferring information between vehicles
TL;DR: In this article, a warning is automatically generated to notify the vehicle operator of the impending collision, and the sensor data and kinematic state of the vehicle can be transmitted to other vehicles so that the other vehicles are also notified of possible collision conditions.

TL;DR: In this paper, a near object detection (NOD) system includes a plurality of sensors, each of the sensors for providing detection coverage in a predetermined coverage zone and each sensor including a transmit antenna for transmitting a first RF signal, a receive antenna for receiving a second RF signal.
Patent
Vehicle use control
TL;DR: In this paper, a system for restricting use of a vehicle by a selected vehicle operator to permitted time intervals and permitted vehicle travel corridors is presented, where a driver is seated behind the driver's wheel, and the system requires that the driver provide one or more samples of an ident indicium, such as a fingerprint, facial scan, retinal scan, voice sample or blood sample analysis, to identify the driver or of a personal identification indicium contained on a token or card, or of personal information entered using a data entry device (e.g., keypad).
