Method and system of assisting a driver of a vehicle
First Claim
1. A method of assisting a driver of a vehicle, the method comprising the steps of:
- obtaining a feature of a road to be travelled by a vehicle,selecting a trajectory to be driven along the road as a first parameter, the trajectory being selected by the driver;
selecting a feedback as a second parameter, the feedback being selected by the driver, program instructions for the first and second parameters being selected on the identity of the driver or program instructions for the first and second parameters being selected on the condition of a selection made by the driver;
determining whether a current trajectory of the vehicle while travelling the road is deviating from the selected trajectory of the vehicle along the road; and
providing a feedback operation to assist a driver in guiding the vehicle nearer to the selected trajectory, the feedback operation being based on the second parameter.

Abstract
A method of assisting a driver of a vehicle includes obtaining a feature of a road to be traveled by the vehicle with a sensor and/or a GPS system. A parameter is selected to assist a driver of the vehicle in driving a segment of the road based on the feature of the road. The parameter includes information on the location of a boundary along the road and a preferred trajectory to be driven along the road. A controller determines whether a current trajectory of the vehicle while travelling the road is deviating from the preferred trajectory of the vehicle along the road. A feedback operation is provided to assist the driver in guiding the vehicle nearer to the preferred trajectory based on the selected parameter.
