The present disclosure is directed to driver assistance systems, such as blind sport detection systems, that integrate driver facing imaging devices. In one form, a system includes an imaging device configured to capture images of a face of a driver; at least one sensor positioned on the vehicle and configured to detect a distance from the vehicle to an object; and at least one processor configured to analyze the images and determine that the driver is in a drowsy state; determine, based on information received from the at least one sensor, that a distance between the vehicle and the object is decreasing or that the distance between the vehicle and the object is less than a threshold; and in response to the determinations, provide an alert to the driver of a potential side collision.

Systems and methods are provide for highway vehicle platoon maintenance management. Commercial highway vehicle platoon maintenance management is provided where it is desirable to determine traffic conditions around vehicles of the platoon, to share the determined traffic conditions with the other vehicles of the platoon, and to determine and share adaptive cruise control (ACC) parameters between the platooning vehicles for adjusting platoon inter-vehicle following distances based on the determined traffic conditions.
