A system and method for surround view egress assistance that includes detecting, by a sensor in a vehicle, an obstacle in a swing path of a vehicle door. The method includes predicting, based on a geometrical analysis, one or more potential collision zones between the obstacle and the vehicle door. The predicting also includes determining a bank angle of the vehicle in the predicting of one or more potential collision zones. The method further includes estimating, based on data from an inertial measurement unit, a severity of an impact of the vehicle door with the obstacle. The method also includes detecting a color and height of a curb and potential collisions with a vehicle door.

Surround view vehicle egress assistance

The present application relates to a system for providing alert notifications of possible vehicle contact events including a vehicle controller for determining a first velocity of a host vehicle, a sensor for determining a second velocity of a proximate vehicle, a processor configured for predicting a time of intersection of the first velocity and the second velocity generating a control signal in response to the time of intersection being less than a first threshold time, and a controller configured for providing a vehicle contact warning and performing a contact preparation action in response to the control signal.
