Active safety system and method of operating the same

摘要

A method for use with an active safety system installed in a host vehicle is provided. The method includes detecting a value of a parameter representing a probability that the host vehicle will collide with the target object for each of a plurality of target objects in the path of the host vehicle. In an exemplary embodiment, the parameter that is used includes a time to collision between the host vehicle and the target object. The method further comprises evaluating one or more of the sensed parameter values to determine if the host vehicle is likely to collide with one or more of the target objects, and triggering one or more collision avoidance measures if it is determined that the host vehicle is likely to collide with one or more of the target vehicles several of the target objects will collide. An active security system configured to perform the methodology is also created.
