Description:TECHNICAL FIELD
[001] The present subject matter relates to a vehicle, more particularly, relates to an alert generation system for a vehicle for lane change detection and blind spot detection.
BACKGROUND
[002] In general, conventional vehicles are provided with a power unit to propel the vehicle. In order to provide safety and uninterrupted operation of the vehicle, a plurality of diagnostic systems are provided in the vehicle. These diagnostic systems not only improves the life of the vehicle but also provides safety to a user of the vehicle.
[003] The conventional vehicles include a diagnostic system configured to provide a turn signal indicator to an incoming vehicle to inform the incoming vehicles about intention of the user to take a turn. However, in conventional vehicles, the turn signal indicator provides a feeble sound and an unsynchronized blinking of turn signal lamps which becomes difficult for an incoming vehicle to identify and this in turn leads to vehicle accidents.
[004] Furthermore, in order to avoid accidents, an assisted driver system is introduced in conventional vehicles. These assisted driver system includes one or more radar sensors and vehicle cameras to perform blind spot detection and lane change detection operation for the vehicle to prevent accidents on road, especially while taking a turn.
[005] Conventionally, the line of sight of the rider is limited and restricted to certain range while driving the vehicle. In certain circumstances, an incoming vehicle approaches the vehicle from a certain distance from a rear end of the vehicle, which is not visible to the user of the vehicle. This area is called as a blind spot, and the incoming vehicle often collides with the vehicle in the blind spot and thereby causes accidents.
[006] The vehicle controller is configured in conventional vehicles to detect an image of the incoming vehicle from one or more vehicle camera, and also receives a distance between the vehicle and the incoming vehicle through one or more radar sensors to perform blind spot detection and lane change detection of the vehicle and thereby prevent collision of the vehicle.
[007] The vehicle controller calibrates the distance between the vehicle and the incoming vehicle and calculates an estimated time to collision (TTC) of the incoming vehicle with the vehicle. The higher the TTC value means the closer is the incoming vehicle to the vehicle and thereby higher risks of accident or collision taking place. Thus, the conventional assisted driver system provides an estimation of time to prevent collision of the incoming vehicle with the vehicle.
[008] However, the conventional assisted driving system is configured to operate a certain predefined threshold value and the conventional assisted driving system does not compute real time values and different riding parameters, such as, nearby environmental conditions and real time vehicle conditions to determine the TTC value, which in turn renders the calculation of the TTC value inaccurate. This in turn increases the chance of collision and accidents of the vehicle.
[009] Furthermore, the conventional assisted driver system is not customizable as per user needs and also as per surrounding traffic and environmental conditions. These in turn reduces the operability of the assisted driver system and it does not effectively provide an accurate TTC value for prevention of collision and accidents of the incoming vehicle with the vehicle.
[010] In a known art, an assisted driver system calculated a TTC value based on variable hazard indicator. This system determines the TTC value and higher the TTC value means that the incoming vehicle is very close to the vehicle which may lead to collision. However, this system only calibrates the TTC value based on preset threshold value of distance and time and also does not provide an alternate route or lane change alert to prevent collision of the vehicle with the incoming vehicle.
[011] In another known art, an assisted driver system includes a vehicle camera and an ultrasonic sensor for determination of a blind spot of a vehicle. However, this configuration uses a plurality of sensors and camera which in turn uses space in the vehicle and also increases overall design complexity to actuate and control the sensors and the camera using a vehicle controller.
[012] In another known art, the assisted driver system includes an accelerometer & gyroscope-based arrangement to calculate the leaning of the vehicle and orient a radar module with the help of a servo linked mechanism so that as the vehicle leans in the field of view of a radar sensor. This configuration although provides a blind spot detection of the vehicle but the servo linking mechanism includes design complexity and also increases the overall cost of the vehicle.
[013] Hence it is an object of the present invention to provide an alert generation system providing one or more alert signals during a blind spot detection and a lane changing operation based on one or more vehicle parameters and one or more environmental parameters and to overcome other related problems known in the art.
[014] It is also an object of the present invention to provide a method for a blind spot detection and lane change detection based on determination of traffic condition and riding style of the vehicle.
[015] It is also an object of the present invention to provide an alert generation system configured to provide one or more alert signals configured for plurality of modes of the blind spot detection and lane change detection operation of the alert generation system.
[016] It is also an object of the present invention to provide one or more alert signals customizable as per user needs and requirements.
[017] It is also an object of the present invention to provide an alert generation system configured to operate in a manual mode and an auto mode.

[060] Figure 3a and 3b illustrates a flowchart of a method of alert generation by the alert generation system operating in a manual mode, in accordance with an embodiment of the present subject matter. The alert generation system (100) is configured to operate in the manual mode by activation of the manual switch (106) by the user through a method (300) in the following steps. In step (301), the electronic controller (104) checks whether the alert generation system (100) has been activated by the user through the manual switch (106). If the user has not activated the alert generation system (100), then the auto mode is activated as shown in step (302). If the user has activated the manual mode through activating the manual switch (106), then the electronic controller (104) determines if a target incoming vehicle speed is greater than a predetermined vehicle speed value as shown in step (303). In one embodiment, the first predetermined vehicle speed is 20 kmph. If the condition provided in step (303) is not met, then the alert generation system (100) is ineffective as shown in step (304). If the condition provided in step (303) is met, then the electronic controller (104) determines if the target incoming vehicle is detected at a threshold distance as shown in step (305), after detecting the distance between the target incoming vehicle and the vehicle (200) through the one or more radar sensors (108a). If the condition in step (305) is not met, then no alert signal is generated as shown in step (306). In one embodiment, the threshold distance being a first, a second and a third predetermined distance. The first, the second and the predetermined distance being 40 meters, 20 meters and 10 meters respectively in one embodiment.

In one embodiment, the relative distance being not more than 40 meters and the relative velocity being not more than 50 kmph. The relative velocity being calculated by the electronic controller (104) by calculating the speed of the target incoming vehicle over real time. If the above condition in step (307) is satisfied, then the electronic controller (104) calculates one or more time to collision (TTC) value and checks the one or more TTC value with one or more threshold TTC value as shown in step (308). In one embodiment, the one or more threshold TTC value being 4s, 3s and 2s respectively. If the above condition in step (308) is met, the electronic controller (104) checks if a turn signal indicator is ON or not as shown in step (311). If the turn signal indicator is OFF, then the electronic controller (104) gives one of the early signal, a normal signal, or the late signal through the visual alert signal (108a) as shown in step (312). If the turn signal indicator is ON, then the electronic controller (104) gives one of the early signal, a normal signal, or the late signal through the visual alert signal (108a) and the haptic alert signal (108c) as shown in step (313). The above steps indicates the process for lane change detection when the manual mode is ON.
[062] If the condition provided in step (308) is not met, then the electronic controller (104) determines if the distance of the target incoming vehicle is below a predetermined distance. The predetermined distance in one embodiment is 40 meters as shown in step (309). if the above condition provided in step (309) is not met, then no alert signal is provided as shown in step (310). If the above condition as provided in step (309) is met, then the electronic controller (104) checks whether the turn signal indicator is ON as shown in step (314). If the turn signal indicator is OFF, then the electronic controller (104) gives one of the early signal, a normal signal, or the late signal through the visual alert signal (108a) as shown in step (315). If the turn signal indicator is ON, then the electronic controller (104) gives one of the early signal, a normal signal, or the late signal through the visual alert signal (108a) and the haptic alert signal (108c) as shown in step (316). The above steps indicates the process for the blind spot detection when the manual mode is ON.

The menu panel (402) is configured to have a rider assistance panel (402a), a ride model panel, a trip details panel, a vehicle details panel, and a preferences panel. The user in order to activate the manual mode presses the rider assistance panel (402a) which in turn further opens a window (404) having an option to select the blind spot detection and a lane change warning system (404a). Upon selection of the blind spot detection and a lane change warning system (404a), a second window (404a) opens which asks the user preference to switch it On or OFF (406a, 406b). Upon pressing the ON button, the blind spot detection and a lane change warning system (404a) displays a warning timing (408a) for giving the one or more alert signals. Thereafter, the user has the option to customize and choose one of one or more alert signals to be visible on the instrument cluster (204). The one of one of one or more alert signals are late alert signal (410a), a normal alert signal (410b) and an early alert signal (410c) to be displayed on the instrument cluster (204) as per the user choice and preference.
[064] Figure 5 illustrates a flowchart of a method alert generation by the alert generation system operating in an auto mode, in accordance with an embodiment of the present subject matter. The alert generation system (100) is configured to operate in the auto mode by non-activation of the manual switch (106) by the user through a method (500) in the following steps. The electronic controller (214) initiates the auto mode if no manual input has been received from the user through the manual switch (106). The electronic controller (104) enables checking of the velocity of the target incoming vehicle and checking the target incoming vehicle velocity being greater than a predetermined velocity as shown in step (501). In one embodiment, the predetermined velocity being 20kmph. If the above condition provided in step (501) is not met, then the alert generation system (100) becomes inactive as shown in step (502). If the above condition as provided in step (501) is met, then the electronic controller (104) receives one or more predetermined vehicle parameters from the one or more vehicle sensors (102a, 102b, 102c, 102d) as shown in step (503). In step (504), the electronic controller (104) determines the type of traffic condition of the one or more predetermined vehicle parameters.
[065] In step (505), the electronic controller determines the riding style of the user of the one or more predetermined vehicle parameters. In step (506), the electronic controller (104) determines the riding mode of the vehicle (200) and accordingly generates one or more alert signals.

The electronic controller (104) then checks whether the vehicle speed lies between a first predetermined range of vehicle speed as shown in step (602). In one embodiment, the first predetermined range of vehicle speed being between 20 kmph to 30 kmph. If the vehicle speed lies in the first predetermined range of vehicle speed, then the electronic controller (104) determines if the number of target incoming vehicles is greater than a predetermined value within a first threshold distance as shown in step (603). If the condition provided in step (603) is satisfied, then the electronic controller (104) determines the traffic condition as congested traffic as shown in step (604). If the above condition provided in step (603) is not satisfied, then the electronic controller (104) determines the traffic condition as moderate traffic as shown in step (607). In one embodiment, the first threshold distance being 10 meters and the predetermined value being 2.
[067] If the condition provided in step (602) is not satisfied, then the electronic controller (104) checks if the vehicle speed of the target incoming vehicle is within a second predetermined range of vehicle speed as shown in step (605). If the above condition as provided in step (605) is satisfied, then the electronic controller (104) determines the traffic condition as moderate traffic as shown in step (606).

In one embodiment, the third predetermined range of vehicle speed being between 50 kmph to 80 kmph. If the vehicle speed lies in the third predetermined range of vehicle speed, then the electronic controller (104) determines if the number of target incoming vehicles is greater than the predetermined value within a second threshold distance as shown in step (609). If the condition provided in step (609) is satisfied, then the electronic controller (104) determines the traffic condition as moderate traffic as shown in step (610). In one embodiment, the second threshold distance being 20 meters. If the above condition provided in step (609) is not satisfied, then the electronic controller (104) determines the traffic condition as highway traffic as shown in step (613).

In step (701), the electronic controller (104) determines the vehicle speed, the throttle input by the user and the acceleration and decceleration of the vehicle (200). If in step (702), the electronic controller (104) determines a high throttle input, a high vehicle speed value and a high acceleration and decceleration value, then the electronic controller (104) determines the riding style as an expert riding style as shown in step (705). In one embodiment, the high vehicle speed being greater than 80 kmph and the high acceleration and decceleration being greater than 80 m/s. If the above condition in step (702) is not satisfied, then the electronic controller (104) as shown in step (703), determines a mild throttle input, a mild vehicle speed value and a mild acceleration and decceleration value, then the electronic controller (104) determines the riding style as an intermediate riding style as shown in step (706). In one embodiment, the mild vehicle speed being between 50 to 80 kmph and the mild acceleration and decceleration being between 60 to 80 m/s. If the above condition in step (703) is not satisfied, then the electronic controller (104) as shown in step (704), determines a low throttle input, a low vehicle speed value and a low acceleration and decceleration value, then the electronic controller (104) determines the riding style as a beginner riding style as shown in step (707). In one embodiment, the low vehicle speed being between 30 to 50 kmph and the low acceleration and decceleration being between 30 to 60 m/s.
