Abstract:
A method for providing information to a driver of a vehicle includes obtaining host vehicle information that describes a first path to be traversed by a host vehicle, obtaining conflicting vehicle information that describes a second path to be traversed by a potentially conflicting vehicle, wherein the second path crosses the first path, determining a queue length representing a number of queued vehicles that are queued ahead of the host vehicle, determining a time-to-contact based on the host vehicle information and the conflicting vehicle information, and causing a warning alert to be output if the time-to-contact is less than a warning alert time value and the queue length is equal to or less than a warning alert length value.
