Method and apparatus to warn of a vehicle moving in the wrong direction of travel
First Claim
1. A method to warn of a vehicle moving in a wrong direction of travel, the method comprising:
- providing a third-party warning message for other road users when at least one wrong-way-driver signal signals wrong-way travel of the wrongly moving vehicle sensed using a wrong-way-driver sensing method; and
outputting a self-warning message for a driver of the vehicle moving in the wrong direction of travel when the wrong-way-driver signal signals the sensed wrong-way travel and at least one further wrong-way-driver signal signals the wrong-way travel of the wrongly moving vehicle sensed using a further wrong-way-driver sensing method, the further wrong-way-driver sensing method differing from the wrong-way-driver sensing method.

Abstract
A method to warn of a vehicle moving in the wrong direction of travel, wherein in a provision step, a third-party warning message is provided for other road users when at least one wrong-way-driver signal signals wrong-way travel of the wrongly moving vehicle sensed using a wrong-way-driver sensing method, and in an output step, a self-warning message is output for a driver of the vehicle moving in the wrong direction of travel when the wrong-way-driver signal signals the sensed wrong-way travel and at least one further wrong-way-driver signal signals the wrong-way travel of the wrongly moving vehicle sensed using a further wrong-way-driver sensing method, the further wrong-way-driver sensing method differing from the wrong-way-driver sensing method.

10. An apparatus, configured to:
-
provide a third-party warning message for other road users when at least one wrong-way-driver signal signals wrong-way travel of the wrongly moving vehicle sensed using a wrong-way-driver sensing method; and output a self-warning message for a driver of the vehicle moving in the wrong direction of travel when the wrong-way-driver signal signals the sensed wrong-way travel and at least one further wrong-way-driver signal signals the wrong-way travel of the wrongly moving vehicle sensed using a further wrong-way-driver sensing method, the further wrong-way-driver sensing method differing from the wrong-way-driver sensing method.

11. A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium, on which a computer program is stored, the computer program to warn of a vehicle moving in a wrong direction of travel, the computer program, when executed by a processing device, causing the processing device to perform:
-
providing a third-party warning message for other road users when at least one wrong-way-driver signal signals wrong-way travel of the wrongly moving vehicle sensed using a wrong-way-driver sensing method; and outputting a self-warning message for a driver of the vehicle moving in the wrong direction of travel when the wrong-way-driver signal signals the sensed wrong-way travel and at least one further wrong-way-driver signal signals the wrong-way travel of the wrongly moving vehicle sensed using a further wrong-way-driver sensing method, the further wrong-way-driver sensing method differing from the wrong-way-driver sensing method.
