SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING SITUATIONAL AWARENESS IN A VEHICLE
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for providing situational awareness in a vehicle comprising:
- receiving environmental sensor data and vehicle performance data;
compiling the environmental sensor data and the vehicle performance data;
determining one or more situational risks that are posed to the vehicle that occur within a surrounding environment of the vehicle based on the compiled environmental sensor data and the vehicle performance data; and
generating one or more projected graphical objects that represent the one or more situational risks that are determined to be posed to the vehicle, wherein generating the one or more projected graphical objects that represent the one or more situational risks includes analyzing situational awareness assessment data and generating a virtual rear fan object (rear fan) that includes a virtual floor zone of interest (floor zone) and a virtual Doppler zone of interest (Doppler zone), wherein the floor zone and the Doppler zone includes the one or more projected graphical objects that represent at least one of;
one or more objects determined within the surrounding environment of the vehicle, determined characteristics of the surrounding environment of the vehicle, and determined situational risks that are posed to the vehicle.

Abstract
A method and system for providing situational awareness in a vehicle. The method and system include receiving environmental sensor data and vehicle performance sensor data. The method and system also include compiling the environmental sensor data and the vehicle performance data. The method and system additionally include determining one or more situational risks that are posed to the vehicle that occur within a surrounding environment of the vehicle based on the compiled environmental sensor data and the vehicle performance data. The method and system further include generating one or more projected graphical objects that represent the one or more situational risks that are determined to be posed to the vehicle.

9. A system for providing situational awareness in a vehicle, comprising:
-
a situational awareness subsystem that provides situational awareness of a surrounding environment of the vehicle; a sensor data compiling module of the situational awareness subsystem that receives environmental sensor data and vehicle performance data, wherein the sensor data compiling module compiles the environmental sensor data and the vehicle performance data; a situational awareness assessment module of the situational awareness subsystem that determines one or more situational risks that are posed to the vehicle that occur within the surrounding environment of the vehicle based on the compiled environmental sensor data and the vehicle performance data; and a situational awareness presentation module that generates one or more projected graphical objects that represent the one or more situational risks that are determined to be posed to the vehicle, wherein the situational awareness presentation module analyzes situational awareness assessment data received from the situational awareness assessment module and generates a virtual rear fan object (rear fan) that includes a virtual floor zone of interest object (floor zone) and a virtual Doppler zone of interest object (Doppler zone), wherein the floor zone and the Doppler zone include the one or more projected graphical objects that represent determined situational risks that are posed to the vehicle. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 14, 15, 16)

17. A non-transitory computer readable-storage medium storing instructions that when executed by a processor perform actions, comprising:
-
receiving environmental sensor data and vehicle performance data; compiling the environmental sensor data and the vehicle performance data; determining one or more situational risks that are posed to a vehicle that occur within a surrounding environment of the vehicle based on the compiled environmental sensor data and the vehicle performance data; and generating one or more projected graphical objects that represent the one or more situational risks that are determined to be posed to the vehicle, wherein generating the one or more projected graphical objects that represent the one or more situational risks includes analyzing situational awareness assessment data and generating a virtual rear fan object (rear fan) that includes a virtual floor zone of interest object (floor zone) and a virtual Doppler zone of interest object (Doppler zone), wherein the floor zone and the Doppler zone include the one or more projected graphical objects that represent determined situational risks that are posed to the vehicle. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
