The invention relates to a method for supporting a driver of a motor vehicle () while driving the vehicle (), wherein a sound signal indicating an information generated by a driver assistance system () of the vehicle () is output by a sound output device () of the driver assistance system (). The method comprises receiving acoustic sound by a microphone of a portable communication device () and checking by the portable communication device () whether or not the received acoustic sound comprises the sound signal of the driver assistance system () as well as, upon detecting the sound signal of the driver assistance system (), generating a display () on a display means () of the portable communication device () in dependence on the information extracted from the sound signal.

Method for supporting a driver using a portable device in a vehicle

A method and a system for controlling lighting beams for vehicles. It proposes controlling the road lighting beam by combining data obtained from a navigation device and detection means suitable for supplying distance and nature information concerning target objects situated in front of the vehicle equipped according to the invention.

Method for controlling a vehicle member

An obstacle detection procedure within the area surrounding a motor vehicle comprising the following stages: carrying out a first obstacle detection by image processing resulting in a definition of at least one region of interest, classifying the detected obstacle with an index of confidence applied to the region of interest in relation to given characteristics, carrying out a second obstacle detection by sensor/s with detection range below a first threshold resulting in a determined position, projecting the determined position into a reference marker, projecting the region of interest into this reference marker and aligning the two projections obtained and attributing a determined position to the obstacle classified in accordance with the alignment.

Obstacle detection procedure for motor vehicle

A device and method for correcting a position of at least one target point relative to a motor vehicle depending on a movement of the motor vehicle over a given number of cycles; starting from at least one target point, forming a first group with adjacent target points depending on a first given characteristic; verifying if the first group is homogeneous depending on a second given characteristic; and calculating a position of a formed group relative to the motor vehicle over the given number of cycles, a formed group corresponding to a target object.

Device and method of detecting a target object for motor vehicle

An obstacle detection procedure and detection device within the area surrounding a motor vehicle featuring the following: to define at least one first region of interest by carrying out a first detection of an obstacle by shape recognition in an acquired image of this environment; to define at least one second region of interest by carrying out a second detection of an obstacle by movement detection in relation to the vehicle on a sequence of acquired images of this environment; to classify the detected obstacle with, respectively, a first and second index of confidence applied to the first and second regions of interest in relation to given characteristics; and to validate the classification of the object detected in relation to these indices of confidence and in relation to these regions of interest resulting in validated regions of interest.
