Claim:
1. A method for collision threat assessment on a host vehicle traveling on a roadway, said method comprising: determining if the host vehicle is likely to turn at or near an intersection with a predetermined level of confidence; obtaining velocity and position data of the host vehicle using sensors onboard the host vehicle: obtaining velocity and position data of one or more remote vehicles or other objects at or near the intersection; determining, using a processor in a controller, a predicted path of the host vehicle based on the velocity and position data, along with yaw rate or road wheel angle of the host vehicle: determining, using the processor, a predicted path of one or more of the remote vehicles based on the velocity and position data; issuing a warning to a driver of the host vehicle, by the controller, if the host vehicle and one of the remote vehicles may collide based on the predicted paths; and providing, using the processor, additional collision analysis to reduce false positive warnings and false negative warnings for specialized host vehicle circumstances.
