Vehicular driving assist system with traffic light recognition

Abstract

A vehicular vision system includes a camera disposed at a vehicle and viewing at least forward of the vehicle. The vehicular vision system, as the vehicle travels along a traffic lane of a road and via processing of image data captured by the camera and based on map data, determines presence of a plurality of traffic lights at an intersection and identifies a target traffic light from the plurality of traffic lights that is associated with the traffic lane along which the equipped vehicle is traveling as the vehicle approaches the intersection. The vehicular vision system determines, via processing of image data captured by the camera, status of the identified target traffic light. The vehicular vision system, responsive to determining the status of the identified target traffic light, alerts a driver of the vehicle of the status of the relevant traffic light and/or controls speed of the vehicle.
