Method and apparatus for warning a vehicle driver

摘要

Device for warning a car (1) driver that there is an increased collision risk has environment detection means which are used to determine the distance to detected objects, the relative velocity of detected objects, the movement direction of the objects and the vehicles own velocity. An evaluation unit (6) evaluates the measurement values and generates a driver warning dependent on the calculated collision risk. An independent claim is made for a method for warning a driver that an increased collision risk exists.
