Vehicle System For Providing Indirect View Around A Commercial Vehicle
First Claim
1. A vehicle system for providing indirect view around a commercial vehicle, the system comprising:
- a first image capture unit, wherein the first image capture unit is oriented such that an angle of view of the first image capture unit is directed in a first direction comprising a directional component opposite to the main driving direction of the vehicle;
a second image capture unit, wherein the second image capture unit comprises at least one sensor device and is oriented such that the angle of view of the second image capture unit is directed in a second direction comprising a directional component in the main driving direction of the vehicle; and
a calculating unit receiving image data from at least the second image capture unit and providing information extracted from the received image data to a vehicle assistance device and/or an autonomous vehicle guidance device and/or providing image data to a display device within a view of a driver of the vehicle.

Abstract
A vehicle system for providing indirect view around a commercial vehicle. The system has a first image capture unit oriented such that an angle of view of the first image capture unit is directed in a first directional component opposite the main driving direction of the vehicle. A second image capture unit is provided having at least one sensor device oriented such that the angle of view of the second image capture unit is directed in a second directional component in the main driving direction of the vehicle. A calculating unit receives image data from at least the second image capture unit and provides information extracted from the received image data to at least one of a vehicle assistance device, an autonomous vehicle guidance device and a display device within the driver'"'"'s view.
