Lane Change Assistant or Blind Spot Detection - BLIS
Commercially available
PRINCIPLE
The Lane Change Assistant or the Blind Spot Detection systems continuously monitor the rear blind spots on both sides of the vehicle.
EXPLANATION
For example, before overtaking or changing lanes, the driver looks in the side mirror which confirms that the lane is free.
But suddenly a car comes into the visual field from behind, just when
the driver is about to change lanes.
Such critical situations often arise in urban traffic and result in an accident
if the vehicle in the blind spot is overlooked. When the turn signal is activated
indicating that the driver is about to change lane, these systems warn
the driver either visually or by discreet vibration of the
steering wheel, if changing the lane is not safe at that moment.
