Abstract
A driver alert system is configured to provide combined visual and audible spatial warnings. The system can include an object detection system to provide the location of at least one object relative to a vehicle, an audible output system including a plurality of speaker units, and a display unit. A control unit of the system can determine location of objects and generate combined visual and audible spatial warnings. Output of the combined visual and audible spatial warning can be controlled to output an audible alert indicating the location of the object relative to the vehicle passenger, and control a display unit to present a particle display output indicating the location of the object relative to the vehicle passenger. The system may include processes for control of combined visual and audible spatial warnings to account for changes in object position and vehicle heading.
