Abstract
An object awareness determination system includes an external object sensor system to sense objects and generate input data relating to the objects external to a host vehicle, wherein the input data includes an object position (x, y), an object velocity |({dot over (x)}, {dot over (y)})| and an object direction of movement (({dot over (x)}, {dot over (y)})/|({dot over (x)}, {dot over (y)})|) associated with each object in said detecting range. Additionally, the system includes a controller for determining awareness of the user to an object that recently entered the detecting range of the external object sensor system, and a method for determining awareness of the object.
