Moving Object Detection (MOD)
Alerting the driver to moving objects around the vehicle
By detecting moving objects around the car and alerting the driver, this technology enhances safety when pulling out of a parking space, helping give drivers better awareness of their surroundings and increased peace of mind.
Technology Functionality
Cameras
detect
moving
objects
around
the
vehicle
when
it
is
in
park
or
slowly
maneuvering;
the
system
then
alerts
the
driver
both
visually
and
audibly.
There
are
two
types
of
systems:
one
uses
the
Around
View
Monitor
and
four
cameras
to
the
front,
back
and
sides
of
the
car,
while
the
second
system
uses
only
a
single
camera
installed
in
the
rear
of
the
car.
The
four-camera
system
can
alert
drivers
in
three
scenarios:
while
parked
or
in
neutral;
moving
forward;
and
backing
up.
When
moving
forward
or
backing
up,
the
cameras
to
the
front
or
back
respectively
detect
certain
moving
objects.
When
in
park
or
neutral,
the
system
detects
certain
moving
objects
around
the
car
using
a
virtual
bird’s-eye
view
image.
If
a
vehicle
has
the
single
rear-view
camera
system
it
can
only
detect
certain
moving
objects
behind
the
vehicle.
Technology Configuration
The system processes video imagery from the cameras and can then detect certain moving objects. The version of the system that uses the Around View Monitor analyzes video signals in an image-processing unit from the four cameras attached to the front, rear and both side-view mirrors of the vehicle. It is then able to detect certain moving objects around the vehicle in real time. It can determine the three situations ? moving forward, in park or backing up ? from the shift position of the transmission.
- MOD cannot completely eliminate blind spots and may not detect every object. It cannot detect stationary objects. Always check surroundings before moving vehicle. Not a substitute for proper backing procedures. Always turn to check what is behind you before backing up.
