First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for identifying objects in proximity to a host vehicle, the method comprising the steps of:
- detecting a target object in proximity to the host vehicle;
measuring a movement of the target object; and
classifying the target object based at least in part on the movement of the target object using a processor.

Abstract
Methods and vehicles are provided for identifying objects in proximity to the vehicle and controlling active safety functionality for the vehicle. A target object in proximity to the vehicle is detected. A movement of the target object is measured. The target object is classified based at least in part on the movement. The active safety functionality is controlled based at least in part on the classification of the target object.

11. A method for controlling an active safety system for a host vehicle, the method comprising the steps of:
-
identifying a target object in proximity to the host vehicle; calculating a time to collision between the target object and the host vehicle via a processor; implementing the active safety system if the time to collision is less than a first predetermined threshold if the target object is identified as comprising a motor vehicle; and implementing the active safety system if the time to collision is less than a second predetermined threshold if the target object is identified as comprising an individual not in a motor vehicle, the second predetermined threshold being greater than the first predetermined threshold. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A vehicle comprising:
-
a drive system; and an active safety system coupled to the drive system and configured to provide an action during a drive cycle of the vehicle, the active safety system comprising; a detection unit configured to; detect a target object in proximity to the vehicle, the active safety system; and measure a movement of the target object; and a processor coupled to the detection unit and configured to classify the target object based at least in part on the movement of the target object for use in providing the action. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
