Two Typical Traffic Situations
Two typical traffic situations are described below, which can
result in warnings.
Scenario 1
The vehicle with Blind Spot
the center lane of a three-lane freeway and is just passing
the vehicle on the right. The speed differential between the
car with BSM and the vehicle being passed is less than 9.3
mph (1 5 km/h).
As a result of the small speed differential, the passing
maneuver takes some time, and the vehicle being passed
disappears at some point in the "blind spot. " In this
situation, the warning lamp in the right exterior mirror
informs the driver that the right lane is occupied. If the
driver of the BSM-vehicle now uses the right turn signal,
the driver is warned by the lamp in the right exterior mirror
flashing four times.
Scenario 2
The vehicle with the BSM is traveling at medium speed in
the right lane of a three-lane freeway. A vehicle approaches
from the rear in the center lane at a clearly higher speed.
The approaching vehicle is detected by the lane change
assistance system. The system activates the warning lamp
in the left exterior mirror. If the left turn signal is now used,
a flashing warning lamp warns the driver against making a
lane change because of the danger of a collision.
The distance between the vehicles at which the warning
lamps are activated depends on the speed differential.
The greater the speed differential, the higher the distance
between the two vehicles at which the driver is informed of
the danger of a potential collision.
