SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DRIVING ASSISTANCE ALONG A PATH
First Claim
1. A driving assistance system, comprising:
- circuitry in an electronic control unit used in a first vehicle, said circuitry being configured to;
receive a unique identifier associated with said first vehicle from a communication device based on a first location reached by said first vehicle, wherein said first location is along a first portion of a path;
establish a communication channel between said first vehicle and said communication device based on said received unique identifier;
receive data associated with a second portion of said path from said communication device; and
display, on a display device, information associated with said second portion of said path based on said received data.

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.
