Method for preventing collision or preventing collision damage during collision of ego-vehicle and e.g. person approaching vehicle in e.g. traffic jam, involves executing action to prevent collision by outputting acoustical signal to object

摘要

The method involves monitoring surrounding of an ego-vehicle, determining free spaces in the surrounding and determining approach of an object e.g. person, to the ego-vehicle and collision probability of the object with the ego-vehicle. Speed of the ego-vehicle is determined by a data processing device (6), where the approach of the object is determined by comparison of approach speed of the object with the speed of the ego-vehicle. An action for collision prevention or for preventing collision damages is executed by outputting acoustical and/or optical warning signal to the object. Independent claims are also included for the following: (1) a computer program for preventing collision or preventing collision damage during collision of ego-vehicle and object (2) a driver assistance system.
