Advanced driver assistance system feature performance using off-vehicle communications
First Claim
1. An advanced driver assistance system comprising:
- one or more output devices operable to output a warning to a driver;
one or more memory locations to store a history of GPS coordinates associated with an output warning; and
a processor in communication with the output devices and memory locations, the processor being configured to identify a false output warning, compare a set of GPS coordinates associated with the false output warning to the history of GPS coordinates associated with false output warnings, and adjust a predetermined threshold setting used by the output devices to output a warping to a driver based on the history of GPS coordinates associated with false output warnings.

Abstract
An Advance Driver Assistance System of a vehicle collects measurements for a driving event, including GPS coordinates for a specific location from the EH system, and logs the data into an on-vehicle database. The ADAS uses the data in the on-vehicle database to develop a history associated with the specific location. Information, including GPS coordinates and recorded false output warnings, may be shared between the on-vehicle database and an off-vehicle database, such as associated with and Electronic Horizon system, providing an opportunity to significantly improve the feature performance of the ADAS. Driver assist information may be compiled between the off-vehicle database and the on-vehicle database, thereby continuously updating the knowledge base of the ADAS and optimizing feature performance of the ADAS over the life of the vehicle.

6. A method for updating an advanced driver assistance system carried out in a controller on a vehicle, the method comprising the steps of:
-
determining a false output warning of the advanced driver assistance system associated with a vehicle location; determining present GPS coordinates of the vehicle location; comparing the present GPS coordinates to a database having stored GPS coordinates saved in a memory to determine whether the present GPS coordinates correspond to stored GPS coordinates; if the present GPS coordinates do not correspond with stored GPS coordinates, updating the stored GPS coordinates associated with a false output warning to include the present GPS coordinates; and if the present;
GPS coordinates do correspond with stored GPS coordinates, adjusting a predetermined threshold setting used in determining a false output warning to prevent future false output warnings for the vehicle location. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10)

11. A vehicle comprising:
-
as global positioning system determining a sot of GPS coordinates associated with a vehicle location; an advanced driver assistance system having one or more output devices operable to output a warning to a driver relative to a present set of GPS coordinates; an on-vehicle database in communication with the GPS and the advanced driver assistance system to store a history of GPS coordinates associated with false warnings from the advanced driver assistance system; and a processor in communication with the output devices and the on-vehicle database, the processor configured to identify a false warning for the present set of GPS coordinates, compare the present set of GPS coordinates to the history of GPS coordinates associated with false warnings, add the present set of GPS coordinates to the history of GPS coordinates if the present set of GPS coordinates is not already stored in the history, and adjust a predetermined threshold setting used by the output devices to output a warning if the present set of GPS coordinates is already stored in the history of GPS coordinates. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13)
