  • Publication number: 20240131987
    Abstract: A vehicle object detection system configured to generate a judgement on whether a target object which has been detected to enter the detection area is an alert object, and to output the judgement to a warning which is configured to output a warning to a driver of the subject vehicle that a target object is present in the detection area behind the subject vehicle based on the judgement indicating that the target object is an alert object, wherein the system is configured to delay generating the judgment until a specified period of time has elapsed from a point in time when the target object is detected to enter a detectable area included in a field of view of a sensor, wherein the detectable area overlaps with only a part of the detection area.

  • Publication number: 20240132099
    Abstract: A vehicle object detection system configured to generate a judgement on whether a target object which has been detected to enter the detection area is an alert object, and to output the judgement to a warning which is configured to warn a driver of the subject vehicle that a target object is present in the detection area behind the subject vehicle based on the judgement indicating that the target object is an alert object, wherein the system is configured to delay generating the judgement until a specified period of time has elapsed from a point in time when the target object entered the detection area from an adjacent area located lateral to the detection area and/or is configured to generate the judgement based on a change in distance between the target object and the subject vehicle during said specified period of time.

  • Publication number: 20240132108
    Abstract: A vehicle detection system configured to judge whether a target vehicle, which has been detected to approach the subject vehicle from behind in a driving lane being used by the subject vehicle and being covered by the detection area is an alert object, to output a result of judgement to a warning which warns a driver of the subject vehicle that a target vehicle (60) is present in the driving lane behind the subject vehicle based on the judging the target vehicle to be an alert object, and to determine, on the basis of a change of a lateral overlap of the target vehicle in the detection area, an overlap change rate which is defined as a ratio of the change of the overlap to a specified time.

  • Publication number: 20240135822
    Abstract: A vehicle detection system, for detecting a target vehicle in a detection area located behind a subject vehicle, is configured to judge whether a target vehicle which has been detected to approach the subject vehicle occupying a driving lane from behind in a first adjacent lane which is on one side of the driving lane and which target vehicle has been further detected to change from the first adjacent lane by diagonally passing the driving lane on to a second adjacent lane on the other side of the driving lane, is an alert object, and output a result of judgement to warn a driver of the subject vehicle that a target vehicle is present behind the subject vehicle, and determine, on the basis of a change of a lateral overlap of the target vehicle in the detection area, an overlap change rate.
