AVSS04-Lateral Safety Warning (Service Package*)

Description

This service package allows for lateral warning. It utilizes safety sensors and collision sensors. It requires on-board sensors to monitor the areas to the sides of the vehicle and present warnings to the driver about potential hazards.

Since the mapping between objectives and service packages is not always straight-forward and often situation-dependent, these mappings should only be used as a starting point. Users should do their own analysis to identify the best service packages for their region.

The following discusses how the National ITS Architecture provides the transportation service described by this service package. Each numbered item describes the operation of that portion of the service package identified with the corresponding number on the transaction set diagram.

  1. The vehicle receives input from the Driver (e.g. steering) (driver inputs). Data is also collected from sensors on the vehicle (basic vehicle measures) associated with basic vehicle systems (e.g. traction control, anti-lock brakes, speedometer, accelerometer, and basic engine measurements) and sensor data about lane position (roadway characteristics) and Potential Obstacles (physical presence). The Vehicle subsystem analyzes this data and presents updates and alarms to the Driver regarding potential lane departure conditions (driver updates).
