Abstract: A method and system identifies an unobservable region using a surround view system of a vehicle. The vehicle has a trailer attached thereto. The surround view system includes cameras to provide a view of an area surrounding the vehicle, an ECU receives image data from the cameras, and a display. A legacy observable image of the area obtained from the cameras as the vehicle passes through the area is stored in the ECU. A model representing a geometry of the trailer is created. Live images of the area, while the vehicle is reversing the trailer in the area, are obtained by the cameras. The trailer defines an obstruction in the area that occludes camera views defining an unobservable region. Based on the legacy observable image, the geometry of the trailer, and the live images, the unobservable region in the area is calculated and displayed on the display.

Abstract: A method for generating a heat map of a surface area includes receiving, at a hardware processor, sensor data from one or more sensors in communication with the hardware processor and positioned such that the surface area is within a field of view of the one or more sensors. Determining, at the hardware processor, the speed and location for each of the traffic participants. Generating, at the hardware processor, a 2D map based on the traffic participants. The method also includes generating, at the hardware processor, a 3D map based on the traffic participants.

Abstract: An infrastructure-based warning system, includes: a first detection device; a detection area, the first detection device operable for detecting at least one of the location, speed, and direction of each of a plurality of objects in the detection area and to determine when a traffic incident has occurred within the detection area; a communication device operable to send at least one communication signal based upon the determined traffic incident by the first detection device.

Abstract: One general aspect includes a method for displaying an augmented image including: recording data with at least one sensor at an intersection. The method also includes transmitting the data via a DSRC to a second DSRC in a vehicle proximate to the intersection; analyzing the data with a processor to determine the location of an object proximate to the intersection; and augmenting an image by bounding a portion of an image of the intersection, where the coordinates of the bounded portion corresponds to a location of the object in the intersection. The method also includes displaying the augmented image on a display in view of a vehicle operator when at least one vulnerable road user is crossing the intersection.
