Abstract
An apparatus includes at least one camera configured to capture an image of a traffic lane in front of a vehicle. The apparatus also includes a radar transceiver configured to detect one or more target vehicles proximate to the vehicle. The apparatus further includes a path prediction and vehicle detection controller configured to determine first parameters for predicting a path of the vehicle; determine second parameters for predicting the path of the vehicle; predict the path of the vehicle using a combination of the first parameters and the second parameters, where the combination is weighted based on a speed of the vehicle; identify one of the one or more target vehicles as a closest in path vehicle based on the predicted path of the vehicle; and activate at least one of a braking control and a steering control based on a proximity of the identified closest in path vehicle.
