An advanced driver assistance system configured to implement one or more automotive V2V applications designed to assist a driver in driving a Host Motor-Vehicle. The advanced driver assistance system is configured to be connectable to an automotive on-board communication network to communicate with automotive on-board systems to implement one or different automotive functionalities aimed at assisting the driver in driving the Host Motor-Vehicle, controlling the Host Motor-Vehicle, and informing the driver of the Host Motor-Vehicle of the presence of Relevant Motor-Vehicles deemed to be relevant to the driving safety of the Host Motor-Vehicle.

Automotive driver assistance

An advanced driver assistance system configured to implement one or more automotive V2V applications designed to assist a driver in driving a Host Motor-Vehicle. The advanced driver assistance system is configured to be connectable to an automotive on-board communication network to communicate with automotive on-board systems to implement one or different automotive functionalities aimed at assisting the driver in driving the Host Motor-Vehicle, controlling the Host Motor-Vehicle, and informing the driver of the Host Motor-Vehicle of the presence of Relevant Motor-Vehicles deemed to be relevant to the driving safety of the Host Motor-Vehicle. The advanced driver assistance system comprises an automotive V2V communication system operable to communicate with automotive V2V communication systems of Remote Motor-Vehicles via V2V messages containing motor-vehicle position-related, motion-related, and state-related data. The advanced driver assistance system is further configured to receive V2V messages transmitted by V2V communications systems of Remote Motor-Vehicles; identify from among the Remote Motor-Vehicles in communication with the Host Motor-Vehicle, Nearby Motor-Vehicles that may represent potential threats to the driving safety of the Host Motor-Vehicle, based on motor-vehicle position-related, motion-related, and state-related data in received V2V messages and on motor-vehicle position-related, motion-related, and state-related data of the Host Motor-Vehicle; and process the data contained in the V2V messages received from the Nearby Motor-Vehicles to identify from among the Nearby Motor-Vehicles Relevant Motor-Vehicles that may be relevant to the automotive functionalities aimed at assisting the driver in driving the Host Motor-Vehicle, controlling the Host Motor-Vehicle, at informing the driver of the Host Motor-Vehicle of the presence of Relevant Motor-Vehicles deemed to be relevant to the driving safety, and dispatch on the automotive on-board communication network a list of virtual objects containing information on the Host Motor-Vehicle and on the Relevant Motor-Vehicles, for exploitation by one or more of the functionalities aimed at assisting the driver in driving the Host Motor-Vehicle, controlling the Host Motor-Vehicle, and informing the driver of the Host Motor-Vehicle of the presence of the Relevant Motor-Vehicles deemed to be relevant to the driving safety of the Host Motor-Vehicle, or exploit the information on the Host Motor-Vehicle and on the Relevant Motor-Vehicles in the implementation of one or more of the automotive functionalities aimed at assisting the driver in driving the Host Motor-Vehicle, controlling the Host Motor-Vehicle, and informing the driver of the Host Motor-Vehicle of the presence of the Relevant Motor-Vehicles and of relevant events deemed to be relevant to the driving safety of the Host Motor-Vehicle.
