  • Method and system of detecting a wrong-way driving vehicle
    Patent number: 11501642
    Abstract: A system of a motor vehicle for detecting a wrong-way driving vehicle and warning third parties includes multiple sensors that generate associated input signals indicative of characteristics of a target vehicle. The telematics module further includes a controller and a storage medium storing computer code for execution by the controller. The computer code is configured to compare the characteristics of the target vehicle to associated threshold values. The computer code is further configured to determine a confidence score indicative of the wrong-way driving vehicle, in response to the controller determining that the characteristics exceed the threshold values. The computer code is further configured to compare the confidence score to a threshold score and generate a notification signal, in response to the controller determining that the confidence score is above the threshold score. The telematics module that transmits the notification signal to the third parties.
