Abstract
An augmented reality system projects a sharp corner image onto rounded corners of turning lanes (e.g., curved ingress, egress lanes) from the eye point of the driver, when in the presence of pedestrian activity. The projected sharp corner image will cause the driver to slow down and/or alter the driving path and, thus, minimize or reduce the occurrence of road incidents at the intersection.
