Disclosed herein are an apparatus and a method for warning of vehicle collision. The positioning and state-reporting signal of a present vehicle is sensed and that of a target vehicle received. The signals are respectively converted to velocities. The relative velocity of the vehicles and the relative position of the vehicles after a time interval are obtained. The driver of the present vehicle is warned when the normal distance from the present vehicle to the line indicating the direction of the relative velocity is determined to be at a minimum and not greater than a warning distance.

Vehicle collision warning apparatus and method

A system for detecting a condition of a driver is provided, wherein the system includes a first electrical device, a second electrical device, a regulation unit and an alert unit. The first electrical device detects an initial vehicle angle of a vehicle, the second electrical device detects an initial head angle of the driver and the regulation unit calculates a regulation angle based on the initial head angle and the initial vehicle angle. Additionally, the first electrical device detects a current vehicle angle of the vehicle, the second electrical device detects a current head angle of the driver and the regulation unit calculates a regulated head angle based on the current head angle and the regulation angle. Furthermore, the alert unit calculates a difference value between the regulated head angle and the current vehicle angle and generates a warning message if the difference value is larger than a threshold.

Method and system for detecting conditions of drivers, and electronic apparatus thereof

An exceptional road-condition warning device, system and method for a vehicle are provided. The system includes an information processing device and a display device. The display device provides real-time and advance warning information to a driver of the vehicle. The system may notice the driver and passenger in advance to respond to an exceptional road condition before the vehicle approaches the occurring place of the road condition through a back-end cooperative self-learning mechanism. The back-end cooperative self-learning mechanism may collect the exceptional road conditions from different vehicles and update the database automatically to maintain the accuracy. The back-end cooperative self-learning mechanism further shares the information stored in the database with the databases installed in the vehicles by a bidirectional communication manner to update the information inside the database of the vehicles for the information processing device.
