An object awareness determination system includes an external object sensor system to sense objects and generate input data relating to the objects external to a host vehicle, wherein the input data includes an object position (x, y), an object velocity |({dot over (x)}, {dot over (y)})| and an object direction of movement (({dot over (x)}, {dot over (y)})/|({dot over (x)}, {dot over (y)})|) associated with each object in said detecting range. Additionally, the system includes a controller for determining awareness of the user to an object that recently entered the detecting range of the external object sensor system, and a method for determining awareness of the object.

Object awareness determination system and a method for determining awareness of an object

An active safety system for a vehicle includes an external object sensor system arranged on a host vehicle. The sensor system designed to sense objects external to the host vehicle and generate input data relating to the objects, wherein the input data includes an object position ((R, &#x3c8;)(t)). Additionally, a threat indicator is included to assign a threat level (T(t)) to each external object (k) detected by the sensor system.
