Definitions
- the present invention relates to a safety system for a vehicle according to the preamble of the independent claim.
- FLC - forward looking camera - a camera on board the vehicle and directed substantially forwards.
- LDW - lane departure warning - a system intended to warn of the vehicle leaving its traffic lane.
- This warning system is configured to minimise accidents by trying to prevent some of the commonest causes of collisions, viz. driver errors due to being distracted or too tired and therefore too inattentive.
- AEBS - advanced emergency braking system - a safety system which is superordinate to other warning systems and intended to damp an unavoidable collision by the system engaging, which is achieved by automatic application of brake pressure even before the driver has begun to brake.
- FCW - forward collision warning - a system intended to warn of an imminent collision and to damp or avoid it, e.g. by warning the driver, activating brakes early, inflating the seat for extra support, tightening the safety belt, etc.
- BSW - blind spot warning - this system provides warning of objects at the so-called blind angle, which is the angle nearest behind the vehicle and cannot be seen by the driver by means of rearview mirrors.
- ACC - adaptive cruise control - a system which uses either radar or laser to ensure that the vehicle slows down when it comes too close to a vehicle in front, with a view to subsequently accelerating when the traffic situation so allows.
- the way of driving a vehicle e.g. a truck or a bus
- vehicle's current driving situation which is defined by its surroundings, e.g. the time of day, i.e. how light it is, the number of traffic lanes on the road and their width, any imminent intersections, traffic signals, the number of vehicles ahead and the way they are being driven, etc.
- US 2007/182529 refers to a method for affecting the load upon the driver and describes how information to him/her can be suppressed or delayed.
- the load upon the driver may comprise environmental characteristics such as the current traffic situation. These characteristics may be recorded with a view to assessing the load upon the driver.
- US 5,642,093 refers to a warning system for a vehicle with two CCD type cameras directed forwards to receive image data. The images are analysed with a view to achieving greater driver awareness if any "psychological stimuli" are registered, e.g. road width, bend radius, vehicles ahead, vehicles parked at the side of the road or obstacles on the road.
- EP 0 911 234 refers to a dynamic control system for vehicles which is intended to stabilise the vehicle's positioning when negotiating a bend or leaving a bend.
- the object of the present invention is therefore to propose a system for adapting a vehicle's behaviour in order to achieve safer driving appropriate to the respective driving situation.
- One aspect of the invention relates to a safety system for a vehicle, comprising a forward looking camera (FLC) adapted to identifying and detecting circumstances and events substantially in front of the vehicle and to delivering a camera signal based thereon.
- the safety system comprises an analysis unit with a memory unit, a first regulating unit and a second regulating unit. Said camera signal is arranged to be conveyed to the analysis unit.
- the memory unit stores a set of safety rules for the vehicle and a set of driving rules for the vehicle.
- the analysis unit is adapted to analysing the camera signal with respect to said set of safety rules for the vehicle and to delivering on the basis of the results of the analysis a first analysis signal which is conveyed to the first regulating unit, which is adapted to regulating one or more safety-related functions for the vehicle in response to said first analysis signal.
- the analysis unit is also adapted to analysing the camera signal with respect to said set of driving rules for the vehicle and to delivering on the basis of the results of the analysis a second analysis signal which is conveyed to said second regulating unit, which is adapted to regulating one or more dynamic characteristics for the vehicle in response to said second analysis signal.
- Figure 1 is a block diagram schematically illustrating a safety system for a vehicle in accordance with the present invention.
- FIG. 1 thus depicts a block diagram of the system according to the invention.
- a forward looking camera (FLC) is currently used in existing systems for vehicles such as LDW and AEBS.
- a camera has to be provided with a general interpretation such as a group of sensors intended to register events concerning the traffic situation substantially in front of the vehicle.
- this camera forms part of a safety system in which it is adapted to identifying and detecting circumstances and events substantially in front of the vehicle and to delivering a camera signal 2 on the basis thereof.
- the safety system comprises an analysis unit 4 with a memory unit 6, a first regulating unit CU1 and a second regulating unit CU2. Said camera signal 2 is arranged to be conveyed to the analysis unit 4.
- the memory unit 6 stores a set of safety rules for the vehicle and a set of driving rules for the vehicle.
- the analysis unit is adapted to analysing the camera signal with respect to said set of safety rules for the vehicle and to delivering on the basis of the results of the analysis a first analysis signal 8 which is conveyed to said first regulating unit CU1, which is adapted to regulating one or more safety-related functions for the vehicle in response to said first analysis signal.
- the analysis unit is also adapted to analysing the camera signal with respect to said set of driving rules for the vehicle and to delivering on the basis of the results of the analysis a second analysis signal 10 which is conveyed to said second regulating unit CU2, which is adapted to regulating one or more dynamic characteristics for the vehicle in response to said second analysis signal.
- the safety rules are intended to achieve safer driving with respect to the vehicle's current driving situation.
- the driving rules are intended to support and facilitate the driver's driving of the vehicle according to given requirements in the prevailing driving situation.
- the safety rules may comprise one or more of
- the first safety rule may be intended to detect a plurality of tail lamps at a certain distance ahead of the vehicle which is consistently longer than the braking distance required at the vehicle's current speed.
- a plurality of tail lamps means that tail lamps of at least two successive vehicles are detected.
- the second safety rule may be intended to detect low traffic density over a certain time in combination with straight road and constant speed limit, where low traffic density means that oncoming/overtaking/overtaken vehicles are fewer than one per minute and a certain time means 5 minutes or more.
- the definition of low traffic density may also have other values, e.g. less than one vehicle per 30 seconds and a certain time may be 3 minutes or more.
- the third safety rule may be intended to detect vehicles which change lanes without flashing, drive on the wrong side, maintain deviant speeds or cross continuous lane lines. Vehicles maintaining deviant speeds means that their speed deviates from prescribed speed limits by at least +20%.
- the fourth safety rule may be intended to detect whether there are vehicles in lanes alongside the vehicle, which may be both to the right and the left of its current lane.
- the driving rules may comprise one or more of
- the first driving rule may be related to detecting the end of a stationary queue of vehicles or a red traffic signal in cases where the remaining distance to the queue end/traffic signal is shorter than the respective braking distance at the vehicle's current speed.
- the safety-related functions relate to adaptation of the driver interface with respect to detected circumstances and events. It may be relevant to convey these functions to the driver in demanding driving situations. A demanding driving situation may for example occur when there are many vehicles and/or road-users on the road.
- the safety-related functions may comprise
- FCW - forward collision warning
- BW blind spot warning
- the safety-related functions may be adaptation of forward collision warning (FCW) to earlier delivery of the warning, adaptation of tiredness warning to the driver to earlier delivery of warning, adaptation of blind spot warning (BSW) to setting the warning to greater sensitivity, adaptation of lane departure warning (LDW) to earlier delivery of warning or to setting the warning to greater sensitivity, or adaptation of adaptive cruise control (ACC) to a longer predetermined distance for warning when the vehicle comes too near to vehicles in front.
- FCW forward collision warning
- BSW blind spot warning
- LWD lane departure warning
- ACC adaptive cruise control
- a warning being delivered earlier or the system having a higher sensitivity or a longer warning distance means in relation to the standard settings of the various systems.
- FCW forward collision warning
- a warning configuration may comprise ranking different types of warnings in order to be able in a demanding traffic situation to suppress or delay types of warnings which are regarded as less relevant. In the same way, the relevance of conveying the most important warnings may be raised.
- the dynamic functions pertain to adaptation of the vehicle's behaviour with respect to detected circumstances and events.
- the dynamic functions for the vehicle may be whether/how much it turns, whether/how much it brakes, how hard its suspension is. They may be regulated by
- a tunnel When a tunnel is detected it may be appropriate to increase the power of the instrument lighting. If a tunnel end is detected it may be appropriate for dipped headlamps to be switched off automatically in countries which do not allow their use in daytime. Other combinations between dynamic functions and driving rules are also conceivable.
