  • Publication number: 20190329794
    Abstract: Disclosed are a rear-side alert system and a method of controlling the same. The rear-side alert system may output an alert when there is a possibility of collision with an object detected in back of a host vehicle and determine a time point of the alert based on whether the object reaches a virtual alert deactivation line, so as to maintain the alert during a time interval in which there is the possibility of collision between the host vehicle and the object. Further, when the object does not pass through a boundary set on one side of the host vehicle, the rear-side alert system may set different alert the time points, thereby minimizing a time during which an unnecessary alert is output and improving reliability of the output of the alert by the rear-side alert system.
