Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Embodiments of the invention provide an apparatus for monitoring one or more target objects in an environment external to a host vehicle by means of at least one sensor. The apparatus is arranged to trigger at least one action responsive to detection by means of the at least one sensor of prescribed relative movement between the host vehicle and the one or more target objects. The apparatus is arranged to determine a lateral offset value being a distance of the or each target object from an extended axis of the host vehicle and to over-ride triggering of the at least one action such that triggering of the at least one action is not performed in dependence on the lateral offset value.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. An apparatus for monitoring one or more target objects in an environment external to a host vehicle, comprising: at least one sensor comprising a radar transmitter and a radar receiver; and a monitoring apparatus being arranged to trigger at least one action responsive to detection of prescribed relative movement between the host vehicle and the one or more target objects; wherein the monitoring apparatus is arranged to determine a lateral offset v…
