Patent ID: 10719724

Abstract:
A safety system for an automobile is provided. The safety system (102) comprises a first camera (202), a second camera (204) and a processing module (302). The module (302) is configured to detect, whether the driver is attentive and the presence of an object on the road by processing video input from the first camera (202) and the second camera (204), respectively. Further, the module (302) determines the time required for the automobile to reach the detected object. The module (302) generates an alert if the driver is inattentive. Alerting is initiated when the encounter time is ≤ to a second preconfigured time, if the driver lacks at least a peripheral view of the road ahead. Alternatively, alerting is initiated when the encounter time is ≤ to a first preconfigured time, if the driver only has a peripheral view of the road ahead.
