Abstract

Systems and methods are described for a lane crossing assistance system for a vehicle. An electronic controller is configured to automatically detect a first crossing lane intersecting with a current lane occupied by a host vehicle. The electronic controller determines, based at least in part on sensor data received from the at least one object sensor mounted on the host vehicle, whether a crossing vehicle is present in the first crossing lane and moving towards an intersection of the first crossing lane and the current lane occupied by the host vehicle. The electronic controller then calculates a first lane crossing vehicle arrival time and a first lane crossing time. A cross traffic guidance indicator is configured to produce an indication perceivable by a driver of the host vehicle that the intersection cannot be crossed by the host vehicle under current conditions.
