VEHICLE INTERSECTION MONITORING SYSTEM AND METHOD
First Claim
1. A vehicle intersection monitoring method comprising:
- exchanging host vehicle information and remote vehicle information between a host vehicle and a remote vehicle;
identifying a road intersection based on at least one of the host vehicle information and the remote vehicle information;
selecting an intersection scenario from a plurality of intersection scenarios based on the host vehicle information and the remote vehicle information;
monitoring, by operation of a processor, a location relationship between the host vehicle and the remote vehicle according to an algorithm that is determined based on the selected intersection scenario, to determine whether a possibility of contact between the host vehicle and the remote vehicle exists proximate to the intersection; and
performing a threat mitigation operation while the possibility of contact exists.

Abstract
A vehicle intersection monitoring method includes exchanging host vehicle information and remote vehicle information between a host vehicle and a remote vehicle, identifying a road intersection based on at least one of the host vehicle information and the remote vehicle information, and selecting an intersection scenario from a plurality of intersection scenarios based on the host vehicle information and the remote vehicle information. The method further includes monitoring, by operation of a processor, a location relationship between the host vehicle and the remote vehicle according to an algorithm that is determined based on the selected intersection scenario, to determine whether a possibility of contact between the host vehicle and the remote vehicle exists proximate to the intersection, and performing a threat mitigation operation while the possibility of contact exists.
