Abstract
Systems and methods for enhancing safety during motorcycle lane-splitting or lane filtering by using a camera to capture images of adjacent vehicles and a processor to analyze these images to predict vehicle trajectories. The systems and methods disclosed predict future vehicle trajectories, calculates potential distances, and issues a warning if the anticipated separation between vehicles falls below a predefined safety threshold, thereby signaling unsafe conditions for lane splitting.
