摘要： The present invention relates to a driver assistance system for aiding driver vision in a vehicle, and a control transmission method of such a system. The system includes at least one camera which is arranged to be removably mounted in a docking station in the vehicle. The camera comprises a first communication means arranged to communicate with a second communication means located in the vehicle when the camera is out of the docking station. The docking station and the second communication means are connected to a central microprocessor which is further connected to a digital display which is located in the interior of the vehicle in a position where it is visible to a driver and further includes user input means. The first and the second communication means are provided with a UHF communication unit and a microwave communication unit arranged to transmit in real time the video signal from the camera to the digital display by way of microwave communication channel and to communicate remotely with the camera so as to provide remote control of camera functions by way of UHF link. The camera and the docking station further include an infra red communication means enabling to exchange data between the microprocessor and the camera when it is in the docking station so that the microprocessor is able to remote control the camera. In order to avoid battery drain and the interference respectively, the camera transmits the video signal at any particular time and a determined microwave channel and a control command are retransmitted to the required camera at regular intervals.

摘要： A tire pressure monitoring system for a vehicle has bleed and refill pressure thresholds in addition to high and low pressure thresholds. If a tire pressure remains at a level below the refill pressure threshold and above the low pressure threshold for a specific period of time, based on amount of deviation from the refill pressure threshold, a refill alert is generated. If a tire pressure remains at a level above the bleed pressure threshold and below the high pressure threshold for a specific period of time, based on amount of deviation from the bleed pressure threshold, a bleed alert is generated.

摘要翻译： 车辆的轮胎压力监测系统除了高压和低压阈值之外，还具有泄放和补充压力阈值。 如果轮胎压力保持在低于补充压力阈值的水平并且高于低压阈值一段特定时间段，则基于与再填充压力阈值的偏差量，产生再填充警报。 如果轮胎压力保持在高于排放压力阈值的水平并且低于高压阈值一段特定的时间段内，则基于偏离泄放压力阈值的量，产生排出警报。
