Abstract:

A turn assist system includes a receiver of a primary vehicle that receives travel path data of a remote vehicle. A lane tracking module determines, based on the travel path data of the remote vehicle, whether the remote vehicle will enter an intersection in a nearest lane to the primary vehicle when the primary vehicle is at the intersection in a crossing lane and waiting to enter the intersection into the nearest lane. The determination includes determining whether the remote vehicle will change lanes. The nearest lane is a lane of a multilane road that is closest to the primary vehicle while located in the crossing lane. An alert module notifies a driver of the primary vehicle, in response to the lane tracking module determining that the remote vehicle will enter the intersection in the nearest lane, that it is unsafe to make a turn at the intersection.
