Abstract:
The present invention provides a system and a method for detecting whether one more vehicles are in the vicinity of a first vehicle using wireless communication. More specifically, a plurality of transmitters generate a wireless signal and plurality of receivers receive the wireless signal generated in a nearby vehicle. A first unit calculates a distance to the nearby vehicle according to a strength of the received wireless signal. A second estimation unit estimates a location of the nearby vehicle by using a distance between the plurality of the wireless signal receiving units and the calculated distance to the nearby vehicle. A third unit estimates a driving speed of the nearby vehicle based on a travel distance per a unit time of the nearby vehicle by using the location of the nearby vehicle. Subsequently, a fourth unit estimates a driving direction of the nearby vehicle by using the location of the nearby vehicle.
