Abstract
The present disclosure includes a haptic guidance and navigation system for a vehicle that includes two Blutooth modules configured as beacons (using, for example, Bluetooth®, Low-Energy (BLE) modules) disposed on the front-center end and back-center end of a vehicle. The system may include an application operative on a mobile device that is also configured for BLE. The BLE modules onboard the vehicle may be uniquely associated with the vehicle with a unique identification (ID), and used to determine relative distances and angles between the BLEs and the mobile device. The haptic guidance and navigation system may generate haptic and other feedback using the mobile device and haptic output devices onboard the vehicle, to guide a user to a determined point of entry for the vehicle.
