ON-BOARD VEHICLE CONTROL SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DETERMINING WHETHER A VALUE IS WITHIN AN AREA OF INTEREST FOR EXTRANEOUS WARNING SUPPRESSION

摘要

An on-board vehicle control system and method employ a storage device that stores information representing a plurality of boundary points of a boundary circumscribing an area of interest in which the boundary points are defined by two prescribed parameters, and a controller that obtains at least one condition point defined by current values of the prescribed parameters, determines a first boundary point of the boundary points that is closest to the condition point, and generates geometric data representing a geometric relationship between the first boundary point, the condition point and a second boundary point of the boundary points. The controller performs further calculations taking into account the geometric data to generate coordinate condition data, and determines whether a warning condition exists by determining whether the condition point lies within the area of interest based on a comparison between coordinates of the condition point and the coordinate condition data.

1. An on-board warning system control method comprising:
storing information representing a plurality of boundary points of a boundary that circumscribes an area of interest in which the boundary points are defined by two prescribed parameters; obtaining via an on-board controller at least one condition point defined by current values of the prescribed parameters; determining via the on-board controller a first boundary point of the boundary points that is closest to the condition point; generating via the on-board controller geometric data representing a geometric relationship between the first boundary point, the condition point and a second boundary point of the boundary points, the geometric relationship including a first straight line connecting the first boundary point and the condition point, a second straight line connecting the second boundary point and the condition point and a third straight line connecting the first boundary point and the second boundary point; calculating via the on-board controller reference point data representing a reference point based on the geometric data; determining via the on-board controller coordinate condition data based on an angle between a predetermined direction and a reference line connecting the first boundary point and the reference point; and determining via the on-board controller whether a warning condition exists by determining whether the condition point lies within the area of interest based on a comparison between coordinates of the condition point and the coordinate condition data.
