Abstract: A system and method for vehicle lane determination using a CMOS image sensor camera to take periodic (or continuous) images of the road ahead of a vehicle. Using image processing techniques by counting how many road stripes or lines are to the left and right of the vehicle the current lane could be determined of that vehicle. Other information could also be determined by looking to see if the lines are solid or striped. Further embodiments include the use of a cellular telephone as the image sensor and to transit position information to a back office.

Abstract: A method for assisting a user of a vehicle, in which driving-condition variables (v, a, q, ω, n) are sensed or ascertained via sensors of the vehicle, and a camera of the vehicle covers a coverage area of a road scene at least in front of the vehicle and outputs image signals. Based on the image signals, it is determined whether a further vehicle which is outputting blinking signals is in the coverage area. As a function of the ascertained driving-condition variables (v, a, q, ω, n) of the vehicle and as a function of the determination as to whether other vehicles are indicating a change of direction, information signals, particularly warning signals, are able to be output to the user and/or an automatic driver-assistance control is able to be implemented in which control signals for interventions in a vehicle control for a longitudinal control and/or lateral control, especially a distance control, are output. In this context, in each case different possible control interventions are able to be ascertained and carried out. Furthermore, a corresponding control device and the vehicle thereby made possible are provided.

Abstract: In a method for controlling a driver assistance system, the activation of LKS (lane keeping support) function may result in lateral pendulum motions of the vehicle. Zones having specified conditions are defined in a region of the traffic lane in front of the vehicle. Within the zones, a check is performed to determine whether the respective driving state of the vehicle matches the specified conditions. In the event of a match, the existence of a pendulum motion of the vehicle is assumed.

Abstract: An alert system for a vehicle includes a lane departure warning system for detecting lane markers on a road being traveled by the equipped vehicle and a side object detection system for detecting the presence of another vehicle in a side lane adjacent to the lane being traveled by the equipped vehicle. When the lane departure warning system detects the equipped vehicle making a lane change into a side lane and when the side object detection system detects a vehicle in that side lane, the alert system may generate an alert to the driver of the equipped vehicle. The alert system may detect a stoplight or stop sign in the forward field of view of a forward facing camera and may generate an alert if the system determines that the equipped vehicle is not going to stop at the stoplight or stop sign.

Abstract: An imaging system for a vehicle includes an imaging sensor and a control. The imaging sensor is operable to capture an image of a scene occurring exteriorly of the vehicle. The control receives the captured image, which comprises an image data set representative of the exterior scene. The control may apply an edge detection algorithm to a reduced image data set of the image data set. The reduced image data set is representative of a target zone of the captured image. The control may be operable to process the reduced image data set more than other image data, which are representative of areas of the captured image outside of the target zone, to detect objects present within the target zone. The imaging system may be associated with a side object detection system, a lane change assist system, a lane departure warning system and/or the like.

Abstract: A traffic lane marking line recognition system for vehicle includes an image compositing device which composites images photographed at different time points by a camera to elongate a traffic lane marking line such as a white line in the photographed image based on a detected travel speed of the vehicle. At least one image, among the plurality of images, photographed at a past time point earlier by a time interval determined in accordance with the vehicle speed from a reference time point, when defining a photographed time point of a given one of the images to be composited as the reference time point, is selected as the image to be composited with the given one of the images. By selecting the image to be composited in accordance with the vehicle speed, the traffic lane marking lines can be recognized unerringly.

Abstract: A device for detecting rollover includes a stereo camera in the direction of travel. The camera allows the distance to an object outside the vehicle to be measured, and, in each instance, image vectors to this object are calculated. If the vertical component of these image vectors now changes over time, then a rollover event is detected as a function of this change.
