An apparatus, method, and vehicle for providing a braking level of a forward vehicle may quantify a degree of braking of the forward vehicle into a braking level and provide the braking level of the forward vehicle to a driver. The apparatus includes a brake lamp position recognizing device configured to recognize positions of brake lamps of the forward vehicle based on an image and a relative acceleration of the forward vehicle, a braking determining device configured to determine whether or not braking of the forward vehicle is performed based on a brake lamp image extracted from the image of the forward vehicle, a braking level determining device configured to determine a braking level of the forward vehicle based on the relative acceleration of the forward vehicle, and a braking level image providing device configured to provide the determined braking level of the forward vehicle through an image.

An obstacle positioning method, device and terminal are provided. The method includes determining installation positions of at least two detectors on a vehicle, and respective detection areas of the detectors, determining an overlapping area of the detection areas of the detectors, and if determining that an obstacle is located in the overlapping area, determining a position of the obstacle according to the installation positions of the detectors forming the overlapping area. By changing the number and positions of detectors installed on an unmanned vehicle, a plurality of overlapping areas of the detection areas of the detectors are obtained, the distribution of obstacles around the vehicle are optimally identified, so that the unmanned vehicle makes reasonable driving plans based on an accurate surrounding obstacle environment.

The present disclosure provides a rear cross collision detection system and method. The rear cross collision detection system includes an obstacle detection unit configured to receive an electromagnetic wave reflected from a reflection point of an obstacle in order to detect the position of the obstacle, an identity determination unit configured to, when a plurality of obstacles is detected by the obstacle detection unit, determine whether the plurality of obstacles is the same object based on the positions or speeds of the detected obstacles, and a collision determination unit configured to determine the possibility of a collision with the plurality of obstacles detected by the obstacle detection unit based on the result of the determination by the identity determination unit.

An assist apparatus for assisting a user or an occupant of a vehicle to get out of the vehicle, the assist apparatus configured to be capable of opening a door of the vehicle automatically upon a request operation for opening the door by the user.

An image processing apparatus is provided. An image photographed by a camera that photographs the surroundings of the vehicle is received. An overhead image, a vehicle travel direction image, and a vehicle lateral side image corresponding to a vehicle movement direction which is either left or right of the vehicle is generated based on the image. The generated image is displayed on a display unit. For example, a display image is generated or updated in accordance with a travel direction of the vehicle and direction-of-rotation information of a steering wheel. In a case where the vehicle is backed counter-clockwise, the overhead image, the vehicle rear image, and a vehicle left side image are generated and displayed. In a case where the vehicle is backed clockwise, the overhead image, the vehicle rear image, and a vehicle right side image are generated and displayed.

Haptic devices are installed in a motorcycle's handlebars, footpegs and seat to provide the rider with alerts that relate to hazards. The alert is provided before the rider notices the hazard, or before the rider reacts to the hazard. By giving advance warning, a rider is given extra time to avert a potential accident. The alerts also provide a direct instruction to the rider as to what to do to avoid the accident.

An example operation includes one or more of initially determining, via one or more sensors on a transport, that the transport is approaching a one-way road in a wrong direction based on a slowing down of the transport and a movement of the transport toward the one-way road, notifying, via the one or more sensors, one or more occupants of the transport about the approaching, and in response to the transport continuing to approach in the wrong direction, slowing the transport, by a computer associated with the transport, to not permit entry into the one-way road.

A control apparatus for an automatic-driving vehicle includes a fall detecting unit and a collision preventing unit. The fall detecting unit detects that a load of the automatic-driving vehicle has fallen onto a road. The collision preventing unit performs a collision prevention process that is a process to prevent another vehicle from colliding with the load when the fall detecting unit detects that the load has fallen onto the road.

A warning control device provided in a vehicle is disclosed. The warning control device includes a hardware processor to: determine whether a section in which the vehicle is travelling is a section prohibited from overtaking; determine whether the vehicle is attempting an overtaking action; and, in response to determining that the vehicle is travelling in the section prohibited from overtaking and that the vehicle is attempting the overtaking action, control a warning device connected to the warning control device to warn a driver of the vehicle when the overtaking by the vehicle is not permitted in accordance with driving rules, and control the warning device not to warn the driver when the overtaking by the vehicle is permitted in accordance with the driving rules.

An apparatus for mobile machinery includes a sensor module configured for detachable fitment to mobile machinery, and a control module configured to interface with a control system of the mobile machinery. The sensor module includes an orthogonal sensor arrangement for sensing obstacles in three-dimensional space, an orthogonal indicator arrangement configured to provide a gradient proximity indication of an obstacle, and a wireless transceiver arranged in signal communication with the sensor and indicator arrangements. The control module includes a control wireless transceiver for communicating with the wireless transceiver of the sensor module, and a processor in signal communication with the control wireless transceiver, the processor configured to program, via the wireless transceiver of each sensor module, the sensor and indicator arrangements and with predetermined thresholds of obstacle proximity. If a sensed obstacle proximity exceeds a maximum threshold, the processor overrides the control system to facilitate situational awareness of an operator.
