Abstract:
A safety system for a vehicle includes an imaging sensor configured to be disposed at a vehicle so as to have an exterior field of view external of the equipped vehicle. An image processor is operable to process image data captured by the imaging sensor to detect a vehicle exterior the equipped vehicle and to determine if a collision between the detected vehicle and the equipped vehicle is pending. Responsive to such determination of the pending collision, a safety feature of the vehicle is triggered before impact occurs. Responsive at least in part to processing by the image processor of captured image data to determine if a collision between the detected vehicle and the equipped vehicle is pending, the safety system takes into account if a determined impact speed of the detected vehicle relative to the equipped vehicle is above a threshold level.

Claim (Index 1):
A safety system for a vehicle, said safety system comprising:\n an imaging sensor configured to be disposed at a vehicle equipped with said safety system so as to have a field of view exterior of the equipped vehicle; said imaging sensor, with said imaging sensor disposed at the equipped vehicle, capturing image data; an image processor operable to process image data captured, with said imaging sensor disposed at the equipped vehicle, by said imaging sensor to detect a vehicle exterior the equipped vehicle and to determine if a collision between the detected vehicle and the equipped vehicle is pending; wherein, with said imaging sensor disposed at the equipped vehicle, and responsive at least in part to processing by said image processor of image data captured by said imaging sensor, and responsive to such determination of the pending collision with a reverse gear of the vehicle not engaged, a safety feature of the vehicle is triggered before impact occurs; wherein the triggered safety feature comprises a reversible adjustment of a door lock of the equipped vehicle to an adjusted condition; wherein, if the pending collision is avoided or otherwise does not occur, the door lock returns to its unadjusted condition that existed prior to such determination of the pending collision; and wherein, with said imaging sensor disposed at the equipped vehicle, and responsive at least in part to processing by said image processor of image data captured by said imaging sensor to detect the vehicle exterior the equipped vehicle and to determine if a collision between the detected vehicle and the equipped vehicle is pending, said safety system takes into account if a determined impact speed of the detected vehicle relative to the equipped vehicle is above a threshold level.
