Abstract:
A method to operate a motor vehicle is provided. The method comprises capturing an image of the road ahead of the vehicle; determining a limit point on a first side of a lane of the road in which the vehicle is travelling, at which the first side appears to substantially converge with a second side of the lane within the image; determining a limit line extending across the road from the limit point in a direction perpendicular to the first and/or second sides of the lane; determining a limit distance between the vehicle and the limit line; determining a stopping distance of the vehicle according to the current speed of the vehicle; and alerting a driver of the vehicle if the stopping distance is greater than the limit distance. A safety system for a vehicle is also provided.

Claim (Index 8):
A vehicle safety system comprising:\n a camera configured to capture an image of a road ahead; and a controller configured to, in response to identifying a limit line extending, in a direction perpendicular to first and second sides of a lane, across the road from a limit point on the first side at an inside of a corner that substantially converges with a second side of the lane within the image, and a further limit point on the second side, the limit line passing through a closer of the limit point and the further limit point, calculate a limit distance between the vehicle and the limit line and a stopping distance according to a current vehicle speed and alert a driver if the stopping distance is greater than the limit distance.
