Such as those shown in fig. 3 to 5, respectively, illustrating the use scenarios at different vehicle speeds S; wherein, FIG. 3 shows the situation of low vehicle speed S (25km/hr), the image processing module 20 determines according to the vehicle speed condition that the three distance traces L1, L2, L3 are not changed (the blank space in the figure represents safe green) because the vehicle speed is low and the color change condition is not reached; FIG. 4 shows a conventional vehicle speed S (40km/hr), in which the image processing module 20 changes the color of the near distance trace line L1 (indicated by a single slope in the figure as yellow color of the warning ring) according to the vehicle speed condition, while the middle and far distance traces L2, L3 are unchanged due to the insufficient color change condition; FIG. 5 shows a situation of a higher vehicle speed S (80km/hr), in which the image processing module 20 changes the colors of the two distance traces L1, L2 according to the vehicle speed condition, and the distance trace L3 is unchanged due to the insufficient color change condition; therefore, the driver can visually know the safety distance needing special attention when the vehicle speed S is at the current speed from the color-changing distance mark L, and can perform proper treatment in real time when the driver finds that the vehicle comes within the safety distance.
Further, the vehicle-side safe distance display system of the embodiment can be additionally provided with an image comparison module 60 and a warning unit 70, the image comparison module 60 is connected with the image processing module 20, and is used for obtaining image data and comparing the image data with a real-time image, the image comparison module can compare the image in a position area corresponding to the distance mark L in the real-time image, judge whether a vehicle comes in the position area or not by comparing the image, and accordingly give a warning signal, the image processing module 20 and the warning unit 70 can respectively receive the warning signal, the image processing module 20 can further utilize the warning signal to independently judge or comprehensively judge with a vehicle speed signal as a condition for changing the color of the distance mark L, and the warning unit 70 can give a sound or light warning to a driver according to the warning signal.
Referring to fig. 6 and 7, the usage situations with different vehicle speeds S and different distances between the vehicles are shown; wherein, fig. 6 shows the situation of the conventional vehicle speed S (40km/hr), the color of the distance trace line L1 is changed with reference to the former case, and the distance trace lines L2 and L3 are not changed, when there is an approaching vehicle, the image processing module 20 can comprehensively judge the vehicle speed signal according to the comparison result of the image comparison module 60, in this case, the distance trace lines L1, L2 and L3 are not changed additionally because the approaching vehicle is not at the alert distance; fig. 7 shows the situation of a higher vehicle speed S (80km/hr), referring to the previous case that the colors of the distance traces L1 and L2 are changed, and the distance trace L3 is not changed, when the coming vehicle approaches the warning distance (the position of the distance trace L2), the image processing module 20 can comprehensively judge the vehicle speed signal according to the comparison result of the image comparison module 60, in this case, the coming vehicle is in the warning distance, so the color of the distance trace L2 at the corresponding position is further changed (dangerous red is shown by a bidirectional oblique line in the figure), and therefore, the driver can intuitively know that the safety distance between the current vehicle and the coming vehicle is insufficient from the color-changed distance mark L, and is not suitable for performing the lane change action.
Therefore, the vehicle side safe distance display system is simple in structure, convenient and fast in mounting tool and low in cost, provides a mode that a driver can simply and visually judge the distance while sweeping out the blind area, can be widely applied to various vehicle types and habits of the driver, and achieves the effect of improving driving safety.
