  • Patent number: 11794641
    Abstract: A system, a method, and a computer program product may be provided for user guidance. In an example, the system includes an image projection device configured to project traffic patterns on a surface, at least one non-transitory memory configured to store computer program code, and a processor configured to execute the computer program code to control operation of the image projection device. For example, sensor data from one or more sensors onboard a vehicle is obtained. The sensor data is associated with a state of operation of the vehicle, and proximate movement associated with the vehicle. Based on the sensor data, one or more traffic patterns for projection is determined. Further, an image projection device is controlled to project the one or more traffic patterns in one or more direction of the vehicle.
