Abstract
An alerting system includes an image capturing module continuously captures traffic images surrounding a vehicle and showing at least one traffic sign therein; a gaze detector continuously detects a gaze direction of a driver in the vehicle; a control unit analyzes the traffic images and generates a trigger signal when it determines that the traffic sign changes and the driver fails to notice the change; and an alarming device alerts the driver upon the receipt of the trigger signal.
