Abstract
A collision avoidance system for a subject vehicle. The system includes a secondary vehicle detection module that, based on at least one of inputs from sensors of the subject vehicle or a message transmitted by a secondary vehicle, detects the following: location, speed, and heading of the secondary vehicle, and whether the secondary vehicle intends to turn or change lanes. A warning module warns an operator of the subject vehicle of the secondary vehicle and the identified intention of the secondary vehicle, and modifies warning intensity based on the detected intention of the secondary vehicle to turn or change lanes. An adaptive cruise control module modifies at least one of speed and heading of the subject vehicle based on the detected intention of the secondary vehicle to turn or change lanes.
