VEHICLE VISION SYSTEM UTILIZING COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

摘要

A vehicle vision system includes a camera disposed at a vehicle and having a field of view forwardly of the vehicle, and a control having an image processor. The control is operable to receive wireless communication that is associated with a traffic light ahead of the vehicle, with the wireless communication including a communicated status of the traffic light. The image processor, responsive to processing of captured image data, is operable to determine an imaged status of the traffic light. The control compares the imaged status with the communicated status and, when they correspond, confirms the status of the traffic light ahead of the vehicle. Responsive to a determination that the driver of the vehicle is not properly responding to the confirmed traffic light status, the system generate an alert to the driver of the vehicle and/or applies the brakes of the vehicle.

1. A vision system of a vehicle, said vision system comprising:
a camera disposed at a vehicle and having a field of view forwardly of the vehicle; a control comprising an image processor; wherein said image processor is operable to process image data captured by said camera; wherein said control is operable to receive wireless communication that is associated with a traffic light ahead of the vehicle, the wireless communication comprising a communicated status of the traffic light ahead of the vehicle; wherein said image processor, responsive to processing of captured image data, is operable to determine an imaged status of the traffic light ahead of the vehicle and in the field of view of said camera; wherein said control compares the imaged status with the communicated status and, when the communicated status corresponds to the imaged status, determines the status of the traffic light ahead of the vehicle; and wherein, responsive to a determination that a driver of the vehicle is not properly responding to the determined traffic light status, said system is operable to at least one of (i) generate an alert to the driver of the vehicle and (ii) apply the brakes of the vehicle.
