METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR AVOIDING VEHICLE UNDERCARRIAGE COLLISIONS
A method for avoiding a vehicle undercarriage collision includes identifying an object within a field of view of a vehicle with at least one sensor. a size of the object is determined by comparing the size of the object to a predetermined height of the undercarriage of the vehicle. An indication is provided if the object will collide with an undercarriage of the vehicle
1 . A method for avoiding a vehicle undercarriage collision, the method comprising:
identifying an object within a field of view of a vehicle with at least one sensor;
determining a size of the object;
comparing the size of the object to a predetermined height of the undercarriage of the vehicle; and
providing an indication if the object will collide with an undercarriage of the vehicle.
2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein providing the indication occurs on a display in the vehicle.
3 . The method of claim 2 , wherein the indication provided on the display of the vehicle includes highlighting the object on an image of a roadway ahead of the vehicle.
4 . The method of claim 2 , wherein the indication suggests a vehicle path to maneuver the vehicle to avoid the object.
5 . The method of claim 2 , wherein the indication provided on the display of the vehicle includes highlighting the object on an image of a roadway with a surround view of the vehicle.
6 . The method of claim 5 , wherein the indication suggests a vehicle path to maneuver the vehicle to avoid the object.
7 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising transmitting an image of the object over a vehicle to everything (V2X) communication system.
8 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising transmitting an image of the object over a vehicle to vehicle (V2V) communication system.
9 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one sensor is an optical camera.
10 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one sensor includes at least one of a radar sensor, an ultrasonic sensor, or a lidar sensor.
11 . A rear-view sensor system, the system comprising:
At least one sensor;
a hardware processor in communication with the at least one sensor; and
hardware memory in communication with the hardware processor, the hardware memory storing instructions that when executed on the hardware processor cause the hardware processor to perform operations comprising:
identifying an object within a field of view of a vehicle with at least one sensor;
determining a size of the object;
comparing the size of the object to a predetermined height of a vehicle undercarriage; and
providing a signal with an indication if the object will collide with the vehicle undercarriage.
12 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the signal is readable by a display on the vehicle.
13 . The system of claim 12 , wherein signal includes highlighting the object on an image of a roadway ahead of the vehicle.
14 . The system of claim 12 , wherein the signal includes a vehicle path to maneuver the vehicle to avoid the object.
15 . The system of claim 12 , wherein the signal includes highlighting the object on an image of a roadway with a surround view of the vehicle.
16 . The system of claim 15 , wherein the signal provides a suggested vehicle path to maneuver the vehicle to avoid the object.
17 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the at least one sensor monitors an area surrounding a front of the vehicle.
18 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the at least one sensor monitors an area surrounding a rear of the vehicle.
19 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the at least one sensor is an optical camera.
20 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the at least one sensor includes at least one of a radar sensor, an ultrasonic sensor, or a lidar sensor.
