System and method for driving assistance along a path
First Claim
1. A driving assistance system, comprising:
- circuitry in an electronic control unit of a first vehicle, wherein said circuitry is configured to;
receive data associated with a first portion of a path, via a communication channel, from a first communication device, wherein;
said received data comprises road surface characteristics of said path and at least one road hazard along said path,said at least one road hazard comprises at least one of an obstacle, an animal, a landslide, or a second vehicle, andsaid second vehicle is on said first portion of said path; and
generate alert information associated with said first portion of said path, based on said received data and one of a current speed of said second vehicle that is higher than a threshold speed or said second vehicle that crosses a lane marking along said first portion of said path, wherein;
said communication channel is established between said first vehicle and said first communication device based on a unique identifier,said first vehicle receives said unique identifier associated with said first vehicle from said first communication device based on a location reached by said first vehicle,said location is along a second portion of said path,said second portion of said path is different from said first portion of said path, andsaid threshold speed is determined based on said road surface characteristics of said path.

Abstract
Various aspects of a system and method for driving assistance along a path are disclosed herein. In accordance with an embodiment, a unique identifier is received from a communication device at an electronic control unit (ECU) of a first vehicle. The unique identifier is received when the first vehicle has reached a first location along a first portion of the path. A communication channel is established between the first vehicle and the communication device based on the received unique identifier. Data associated with a second portion of the path is received by the ECU from the communication device based on the established communication channel. Alert information associated with the second portion of the path is generated by the ECU based on the received data.
