A system 200 and method for providing multifunctional safety in a vehicle 150 through a remote sensor 304 is described. The remote sensor, is located at a rear corner of the vehicle and is configured to detect surrounding objects through a radar wave at a predefined angle, and within a predefined distance. A control module (312, figure 3) calculates velocity, severity and likelihood of the object impacting the vehicle through a calculated approach vector of a detected object. The control module further compares the severity of impact, to a pre-determined threshold value, and configures an impact algorithm to initialize and deploy in-vehicle safety systems upon the object crossing a calculated threshold of distance. The safety systems may comprise at least one of a blind spot detection system, a lane change assist system, a cross traffic alert system, and an impact protection system (seatbelt, airbag etc). The remote sensor may comprise a multi-beam 24 GHz radar. |
