SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR CAUSING A VEHICLE RESPONSE BASED ON TRAFFIC LIGHT DETECTION
First Claim
1. A traffic light detection system for a vehicle, the system comprising:
- at least one processing device programmed to;
receive, from at least one image capture device, a plurality of images representative of an area forward of the vehicle, the area including a traffic light fixture having at least one traffic light;
analyze at least one of the plurality of images to determine a status of the at least one traffic light;
determine an estimated amount of time until the vehicle will reach an intersection associated with the traffic light fixture; and
cause a system response based on the status of at least one traffic light and the estimated amount of time until the vehicle will reach the intersection.

Abstract
A traffic light detection system for a vehicle is provided. The system may include at least one processing device programmed to receive, from at least one image capture device, a plurality of images representative of an area forward of the vehicle, the area including a traffic light fixture having at least one traffic light. The at least one processing device may also be programmed to analyze at least one of the plurality of images to determine a status of the at least one traffic light, and determine an estimated amount of time until the vehicle will reach an intersection associated with the traffic light fixture. The at least one processing device may further be programmed to cause a system response based on the status of at least one traffic light and the estimated amount of time until the vehicle will reach the intersection.
