Abstract
A system and method provide notification regarding an estimated movement path of a vehicle. A first vehicle includes an identification feature. A second vehicle includes an identification feature detection unit, an output unit and a transmission unit. A heuristic unit is configured to determine an estimation of an imminent movement path of the first vehicle. A position detection unit is configured to detect a current position of the first vehicle and/or the second vehicle and to transmit the detected current position to the heuristic unit. The identification feature detection unit is configured to detect and transmit the identification feature to the heuristic unit via the transmission unit. The heuristic unit is configured to transmit the current estimation for the first vehicle to the output unit via the transmission unit. The output unit is configured to communicate the estimation to a driver of the second vehicle.

15. A system comprising:
-
a first vehicle having an identification feature; a heuristic unit configured to estimate an imminent movement path of the first vehicle path; a position detection unit configured to detect a current first vehicle position of the first vehicle and to transmit the current first vehicle position to the heuristic unit; a second vehicle including an identification feature detection unit for detecting the identification feature of the first vehicle, a transmission unit and an output unit, wherein the identification feature detection unit is configured to detect and transmit the identification feature to the heuristic unit by the transmission unit; wherein the heuristic unit is configured to transmit the current estimation for the first vehicle to the transmission unit which is in communication with the output unit for communicating the current estimation to a driver of the second vehicle. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31)

32. A method for outputting an estimation of an imminent movement path of a first vehicle to an output unit of a second vehicle comprising:
-
detecting a current position of at least one of the first vehicle and the second vehicle; transmitting the current position to a heuristic unit; detecting an identification feature of the first vehicle; transmitting the identification feature to the heuristic unit; estimating a current estimation of the imminent movement path of the first vehicle with the heuristic unit; transmitting the current estimation to the output unit of the second vehicle; and displaying the current estimation on the output unit.
