Abstract
The present application relates to a system for providing alert notifications of possible vehicle contact events including a vehicle controller for determining a first velocity of a host vehicle, a sensor for determining a second velocity of a proximate vehicle, a processor configured for predicting a time of intersection of the first velocity and the second velocity generating a control signal in response to the time of intersection being less than a first threshold time, and a controller configured for providing a vehicle contact warning and performing a contact preparation action in response to the control signal.
