Arrangement in a vehicle for providing vehicle driver support, a vehicle, and a method for providing vehicle driver support

摘要

An arrangement, a vehicle and a method for providing vehicle driver support during manual or semi-autonomous driving in a potential overtake scenario are provided. The arrangement includes a detector, a communication unit arranged to receive from a preceding vehicle information of a probable route of the preceding vehicle based on at least one of preceding vehicle historical route information and preceding vehicle navigation system information, a processing unit arranged to determine, for one or more routes ahead of the host vehicle, the probability that the preceding vehicle will drive along the one or more route, to process the received information into a format suitable for display, and to display the processed information, thereby providing support to the vehicle driver.

1. An arrangement in a host vehicle for providing vehicle driver support during manual or semi-autonomous driving in a potential overtake scenario, the arrangement comprising:
a detector arranged to detect at least one of a closing velocity between the host vehicle and a preceding vehicle and a distance between the host vehicle and the preceding vehicle; a communication unit arranged to receive from the preceding vehicle information of a probable route of the preceding vehicle based on at least one of preceding vehicle historical route information and preceding vehicle navigation system information, wherein the preceding vehicle navigation system information comprises route information that has been input into a navigation system of the preceding vehicle; a processing unit arranged to
receive information indicative of at least one of a closing velocity between the host vehicle and the preceding vehicle and a distance between the host vehicle and the preceding vehicle from the detector,trigger the communication unit to receive information on a probable route of the preceding vehicle if a detected closing velocity between the host vehicle and the preceding vehicle is above a threshold closing velocity or if a detected distance between the host vehicle and the preceding vehicle is below a threshold distance,determine, for one or more routes ahead of the host vehicle, probability that the preceding vehicle will drive along the one or more routes, the determination being based on at least one of received preceding vehicle historical route information and received preceding vehicle navigation system information, and toprocess the received information into a format suitable for display; one or more display units arranged to receive and display the processed information, to thereby provide support to the vehicle driver.
