    Abstract: A system and method of detecting and mitigating an erratic vehicle by a host vehicle. The method includes gathering sensor information on a calibratable external region surrounding the host vehicle; analyzing the sensor information to detect a target vehicle traveling in a lane and a movement of the target vehicle in the lane; determining whether the movement of the target vehicle in the lane is erratic; if erratic then designating target vehicle as erratic vehicle; assigning a risk score to the erratic vehicle; and implementing a predetermined mitigating action correlating to the assigned risk score to the erratic vehicle. The mitigating action includes one or more of: warning an operator of the host vehicle, warning a vehicle proximal to the host vehicle, and taking at least partial control of the host vehicle to further distance the host vehicle apart from the erratic vehicle.

    Abstract: A method of providing a collision warning within a vehicle comprises detecting an object and determining the distance to the object, identifying when a driver is distracted and measuring the time that the driver has been distracted, calculating an actual time to collision, modifying first and second pre-determined time to collision thresholds based on information from the driver monitoring system and creating first and second modified time to collision thresholds, comparing the actual time to collision to the first and second modified time to collision thresholds, sending a signal to a driver interface to provide an initial warning to the driver when the actual time to collision is less than the first modified time to collision threshold, and sending a signal to the driver interface to provide an imminent collision warning to the driver when the actual time to collision is less than the second modified time to collision threshold.
