Publication number: 20240083424Abstract: A vehicular collision avoidance system includes a forward-viewing camera disposed at a windshield of a vehicle and viewing forward through the windshield of the vehicle. An image processor processes image data captured by the forward-viewing camera to detect a vulnerable road user (VRU) ahead of the vehicle and outside a forward path of travel of the vehicle. The system determines a projected path of travel of the VRU and determines a vehicle time to intersection where the forward path of travel of the vehicle intersects the projected path of travel of the VRU. The system adjusts travel of the vehicle so that the VRU will not be in the forward path of travel of the vehicle when the vehicle arrives at the projected path of travel of the VRU. Adjustment of travel of the vehicle is at least in part based on attentiveness of a driver of the vehicle.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 16, 2023Publication date: March 14, 2024Inventor: Manuel Edo Ros

Patent number: 11787402Abstract: A vehicular collision avoidance system includes a sensor disposed at a vehicle for sensing exterior and forwardly of the vehicle. A processor processes sensor data captured by the sensor to determine the presence of a pedestrian ahead of the vehicle and outside a path of travel of the vehicle. The processor determines a projected path of travel of the pedestrian based on movement of the pedestrian. The processor determines where the forward path of travel of the vehicle intersects the projected path of travel of the pedestrian. The system, responsive at least in part to prediction that the pedestrian will be in the forward path of travel of the vehicle when the vehicle time to intersection elapses, adjusts the speed of the vehicle based at least in part on attentiveness of a driver of the vehicle and a driving condition of the vehicle.Type: GrantFiled: February 6, 2023Date of Patent: October 17, 2023Assignee: MAGNA ELECTRONICS INC.Inventor: Manuel Edo Ros

Patent number: 11198432Abstract: A collision avoidance system of a vehicle includes a sensor configured to be disposed at a vehicle for sensing exterior and forwardly of the vehicle. A processor is operable to process sensor data captured by the sensor to determine the presence of a pedestrian ahead of the vehicle and at or moving towards a path of travel of the vehicle. The processor determines a time to intersection of projected paths of travel of the vehicle and pedestrian based on a determined distance to the pedestrian and determined speed of the pedestrian and speed of the vehicle. The system adjusts the speed of the vehicle so that the pedestrian will not be in the projected path of travel of the vehicle when the vehicle arrives where the projected path of travel of the vehicle intersects the projected path of travel of the pedestrian.Type: GrantFiled: March 26, 2018Date of Patent: December 14, 2021Assignee: MAGNA ELECTRONICS INC.Inventor: Manuel Edo Ros

Patent number: 10043091Abstract: A vision system of a vehicle includes a camera and an image processor. The camera is configured to be disposed at a vehicle so as to have a field of view exterior of the vehicle. The image processor is operable to process image data captured by the camera to classify patterns of retroreflective reflectors present in the field of view of the camera. The image processor compares determined patterns of retroreflective reflectors to a database of patterns and classifies patterns of retroreflective reflectors at least in part responsive to determination that determined patterns of retroreflective reflectors generally match a pattern of the database. The image processor may compare movement of determined patterns of retroreflective reflectors and pattern movements of the database over multiple frames of captured image data and may classify the retroreflective reflectors at least in part responsive to determination that the movements generally match.Type: GrantFiled: December 3, 2015Date of Patent: August 7, 2018Assignee: MAGNA ELECTRONICS INC.Inventors: Harjeet Singh, Manuel Edo-Ros, Ruediger Boegel, Martin Solar

Patent number: 9925980Abstract: A collision avoidance system of a vehicle includes a sensor configured to be disposed at a vehicle for sensing exterior and forwardly of the vehicle. A processor is operable to process sensor data captured by the sensor to determine the presence of a pedestrian ahead of the vehicle and at or moving towards a path of travel of the vehicle. The processor determines a time to collision based on a determined distance to the pedestrian and determined speed of the pedestrian and speed of the vehicle. The collision avoidance system is operable to generate an alert to the driver of the vehicle at a threshold time before the determined collision with the pedestrian. Responsive to a parameter, the collision avoidance system adjusts the threshold time to generate the alert at an earlier time.Type: GrantFiled: September 15, 2015Date of Patent: March 27, 2018Assignee: Magna Electronics Inc.Inventor: Manuel Edo-Ros
