Specification

Description:TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present disclosure relates to a field of an automotive vehicle safety system. More precisely, the present disclosure relates to a holographic warning system for enhancing vehicle safety by detecting emergency situations in real-time driving conditions.

BACKGROUND
[0002] The following description of the related art is intended to provide background information pertaining to the field of the present disclosure. This section may include certain aspects of the art that may be related to various features of the present disclosure. However, it should be appreciated that this section is used only to enhance the understanding of the reader with respect to the present disclosure, and not as admissions of the prior art.
[0003] In emergency situations, such as vehicle breakdowns, adverse weather, or sudden traffic stops, it is crucial for a vehicle to effectively communicate its status to other drivers. Prompt and clear warning signals are essential to prevent collisions, especially in low-visibility conditions where standard visual cues may be obstructed. Traditional warning systems, like hazard lights, reflective triangles, and even emergency flares, serve as conventional methods for signaling hazards, but each has limitations that can compromise safety. As driving environments and vehicle technology evolve, so does the need for enhanced safety communication methods that can overcome adverse conditions and provide more effective alerts to surrounding traffic.
[0004] Conventional hazard lights remain one of the most common emergency indicators on vehicles, using flashing amber lights to signal distress or hazards. While useful in clear weather and close-range conditions, hazard lights have limited visibility in adverse weather, such as dense fog, heavy rain, or snow. This limitation reduces their effectiveness, especially when visibility is most critical. Additionally, hazard lights may not always capture the attention of distracted drivers and can fail to communicate the nature or severity of the emergency. Their standard flashing pattern also limits the specific information they can convey, leaving surrounding drivers unaware of particular dangers, such as a severe breakdown or icy road conditions.
[0005] Further, LED warning lights have been increasingly adopted in modern vehicles for hazard signaling. High-intensity LED lights are significantly brighter than traditional bulbs, providing improved illumination and visibility in various conditions. However, even LED lights struggle to maintain visibility in dense fog, heavy rain, or snowfall, where light dispersion occurs. Similar to traditional hazard lights, LED warning lights are limited in information conveyance, generally only able to indicate basic alerts through flashing or strobing patterns, which restricts the detail and urgency that can be communicated. Some drivers carry emergency Flares or LED flares, which can be placed around a vehicle to signal a hazard in the event of a breakdown. Although useful for enhancing visibility in low-light conditions, these flares require manual deployment a process that can be hazardous in active traffic and often dangerous for drivers. Additionally, flares have a limited visibility range and duration, and their effectiveness diminishes with distance or when moving vehicles approach quickly. These limitations make them less practical, particularly in high-speed traffic situations.
[0006] Advanced technologies like Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) communication systems aim to enhance safety by using wireless communication to transmit information about a vehicle's status and road conditions to other vehicles in the vicinity. V2V systems can improve situational awareness by sharing real-time information across multiple vehicles, allowing drivers to receive digital alerts about upcoming hazards. However, V2V communication systems face challenges, including the need for widespread adoption and compatibility across different vehicle manufacturers. Additionally, network or signal interference can introduce delays in communication, and digital alerts are still dependent on drivers' response times, which may not always be immediate in high-risk situations.
[0007] Other traditional safety measures, such as reflective triangles and safety cones, serve as physical markers that can be placed around a disabled vehicle to alert oncoming traffic. These tools are valuable in low-visibility situations, but their deployment requires manual setup, which poses safety risks, especially in busy or high-speed traffic. Reflective triangles and cones are also limited in their visibility range and are often ineffective in adverse weather conditions or at night, where poor lighting diminishes their effectiveness. Therefore, these limitations illustrate the need for a more advanced, reliable, and versatile warning system capable of providing clear, immediate, and context-specific alerts to nearby vehicles, even in challenging conditions. Developing such systems could greatly enhance vehicle safety by addressing visibility challenges, improving information conveyance, and reducing reliance on driver reaction times in emergencies.
[0008] There is, therefore, a need in the art to provide a system and method that can overcome the shortcomings of the existing prior arts.

[00026] FIG. 1 illustrates a block diagram of the holographic warning system (102) for enhancing vehicle safety by detecting emergency situations in real-time driving conditions, in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure.
[00027] In an embodiment, the system (102) can include one or more processors (104), a memory (106), a holographic display unit (108), a plurality of sensors (110), a compressor unit (112), one or more inflation chambers (114), and a retraction unit (116). The holographic warning system (102) pertains to an automatic vehicle safety system, a vehicle protective safety system which can be implemented or integrated within a vehicle (refer FIG. 3) associated with at least one user. The vehicle may include, but not limited to, a car, an autonomous vehicle, a self-driving a bus, a truck, a transportation vehicle, and the like. The user may include, but not limited to, an individual, a driver, an occupant, a passenger, and the like. The one or more processors (104) may also be represented as a central control unit in the following description.
[00028] In an embodiment, the one or more processor(s) (104) may be implemented as one or more microprocessors, microcomputers, microcontrollers, edge or fog microcontrollers, digital signal processors, central processing units, logic circuitries, and/or any devices that process data based on operational instructions. Among other capabilities, one or more processor(s) (104) may be configured to fetch and execute computer-readable instructions stored in the memory (106) of the system (102). The memory (106) may be configured to store one or more computer-readable instructions or routines in a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, which may be fetched and executed to create or share data packets over a network service. The memory (106) may include any non-transitory storage device including, for example, volatile memory such as Random Access Memory (RAM), or non-volatile memory such as Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory (EPROM), flash memory, and the like.
[00029] In an embodiment, the system (102) can include a holographic display unit (108) that can be configured to project visual warnings through holograms upon detecting an emergency situation, the visual warnings can include visual alerts or warning signs projected in a three-dimensional format by the holographic display unit (108). The holograms pertains to projection of visual alerts or warning signs in a three-dimensional format. This allows the warning to appear as if it is floating in real space, often directly within the viewer's line of sight. For example, in a vehicle, a holographic warning system might project a visual alert onto the windshield to indicate an obstacle, a lane departure, or a sudden stop by another vehicle. These holographic warnings are dynamic and attention-grabbing, making them ideal for providing urgent information quickly and intuitively, without requiring the driver or user to look away from their primary focus.
[00030] In an embodiment, the system (102) can include a plurality of sensors (110) operatively coupled to the one or more processors (104). The plurality of sensors (110) can be configured to monitor and detect at least one real-time driving condition during a vehicle operation and capture real-time data related to the detected real-time driving condition. The at least one real-time driving condition can include at least one of a fog condition, a snow condition, or a rain condition. The plurality of sensors (110) can include a plurality of fog detection sensors (110-1), a plurality of distance detection sensors (110-2), a plurality of rain sensors (110-3), and a plurality of optical sensors (110-4). The plurality of fog detection sensors (110-1) and the plurality of rain sensors (110-3) are configured to monitor environmental conditions or driving conditions and assess visibility levels around the vehicle. The fog detection sensors (110-1) are designed to detect the presence and density of fog by measuring the light scattering or the reduction in visibility within a specific range. The rain sensors (110-3) are configured to detect rain intensity by measuring the amount of water on the sensor surface or using optical methods to assess rain density. The plurality of optical sensors (110-4) can be configured to detect snow by measuring light scattering or reflectivity. Snow particles scatter light, creating a distinct pattern that the optical sensors (110-4) can identify, making them effective for detecting snow density and intensity. By providing real-time data on fog density, snow density, and rain intensity, these sensors enable the vehicle's system to classify the current driving conditions as low-visibility or high-visibility levels. The data from both sets of sensors is processed to adjust vehicle operations accordingly, such as activating display unit to project the holograms for alerting the driver of reduced visibility due to fog, snow or rain.
[00031] In embodiment, the one or more processors (104) can be configured to receive the real-time data from the plurality of sensors (110), where the real-time data can include at least one of a fog density level, a snow density level, or a rain intensity level. The one or more processors (104) can be configured to compare the real-time data with a predefined safety threshold to determine at least one of low-visibility level, or a high-visibility level.
[00032] In an exemplary embodiment, the one or more processors (104) can be configured to compare real-time data from sensors with a predefined safety threshold to determine whether the visibility level is low or high. A threshold is a set value used to evaluate the environmental conditions (visibility level) and trigger appropriate responses. For instance, in the case of visibility, the system (102) might have a predefined threshold where visibility is considered low if it falls below 100 meters (such as in dense fog or heavy rain), and high if visibility exceeds 500 meters (indicating clear conditions). When real-time sensor data, such as the distance an object can be detected, is compared against this threshold, the one or more processors (104) can determine the current visibility level. If, for example, the sensor detects visibility at 80 meters, which is below the 100-meter threshold, the system would categorize the condition as low-visibility and trigger safety measures like adjusting sensor sensitivity or alerting the driver. Conversely, if the visibility is detected at 600 meters, above the high-visibility threshold, no warnings would be necessary. The comparison ensures that the system can respond dynamically to varying driving conditions or the environmental conditions, providing real-time alerts and adjustments to enhance safety.
[00033] In an embodiment, the one or more processors (104) can be configured to detect an emergency situation when the real-time data exceeds the predefined safety threshold, where the emergency situation pertains to the low-visibility level. The one or more processors (104) can be configured to transfer an activation signal to the holographic display unit (108) to project the visual warnings through the holograms for enhancing the vehicle safety upon detecting the emergency situation in the at least one real-time driving condition. The one or more processors (104) can be configured to detect a non-emergency situation when the real-time data is less than the predefined safety threshold. The one or more processors (104) configured to transfer a deactivation signal to the holographic display unit (108) to deactivate the projection of the visual warnings.
[00034] In an embodiment, the system (102) can include the compressor unit (112) operatively coupled to the one or more processors (104). The one or more processors (104) can be configured to transfer the activation signal to the compressor unit (112) by detecting the emergency situation when the real-time data exceeds the predefined safety threshold.
[00035] In an embodiment, the system (102) can include the one or more inflation chambers (114) mechanically coupled to the compressor unit (112). The compressor unit (114) can be configured to receive the activation signal from the one or more processors (104) when the real-time data exceeds the predefined safety threshold and inflate the one or more inflation chambers (114) to create a protective barrier around the vehicle, the one or more inflation chambers (114) are positioned within a housing unit around the vehicle.
[00036] In an embodiment, the system (102) can include a retraction unit (116) mechanically coupled to the one or more inflation chambers (114), where the retraction unit (116) can be configured to receive the deactivation signal from the one or more processors (104) when the real-time data is less than the predefined safety threshold. The retraction unit (116) can be configured to deflate and retract the one or more inflation chambers (114) into the housing unit upon receiving the deactivation signal from the one or more processors (104).
[00037] In an embodiment, the plurality of sensors (108) can include the plurality of proximity sensors (108-2) operatively coupled to the one or more processors (104), the plurality of proximity sensors (108-2) can be configured to measure real-time distance from the vehicle associated with at least one user to nearby vehicles or objects and transfer distance data to the one or more processors (104). The one or more processors (104) can be configured to receive the distance data from the plurality of proximity sensors (108-2) and determine the emergency situation when the distance from the vehicle to the nearby vehicles or objects falls below a predefined threshold indicating a potential collision. The system determines an emergency situation when the distance between the vehicle and nearby vehicles or objects falls below a predefined safety threshold, indicating a potential collision risk. For instance, consider a vehicle equipped with proximity sensors and processors that continuously monitor the distance to objects in its immediate surroundings. If the system has a safety threshold set at 5 meters for low speeds (under 30 km/h), then any object or vehicle detected within 5 meters triggers an emergency response. In a scenario where the vehicle is moving at 25 km/h in slow traffic, the sensors might detect a vehicle only 3 meters ahead. Since this is below the safety threshold, the processor identifies it as an emergency situation, activating the holographic display unit (108) to project the visual warnings to the vehicles behind or in the vicinity. The visual warnings such as "DANGER" or "EMERGENCY," and the like. The one or more processors (104) can be configured to transfer the activation signal to the holographic display unit (108) to project the visual warnings through the holograms to enhance the vehicle safety. The one or more processors (104) can be configured to transfer the activation signal to the compressor unit (112) by detecting the emergency situation when the distance from the vehicle to the nearby vehicles or objects falls below the predefined threshold. The compressor unit (114) can be configured to inflate the one or more inflation chambers (114) to create a protective barrier around the vehicle to enhance the vehicle safety and reduce impact on the occupants. The one or more processors (104) can be configured to receive the vehicle breakdown conditions information from the plurality of sensors (110) and activates holographic display unit (108) to project the visual warnings.
[00038] In an embodiment, the one or more processors (104) can be configured to transfer the deactivation signal to the retraction unit (116) when the distance exceeds the predefined threshold, the retraction unit (116) can be configured to deflate and retract the one or more inflation chambers (114) into the housing unit upon receiving the deactivation signal from the one or more processors (104).
[00039] FIG. 2 illustrates an exemplary representation of the system, in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure.
[00040] In an aspect, referring to FIG. 2, the system (102) may include one or more processor(s) (104).

Examples of such components include but are not limited to, processing unit/engine(s) (208) and a local database (210).
[00042] In an embodiment, the processing unit/engine(s) (208) may be implemented as a combination of hardware and programming (for example, programmable instructions) to implement one or more functionalities of the processing engine(s) (208). In the examples described herein, such combinations of hardware and programming may be implemented in several different ways. For example, the programming for the processing engine(s) (208) may be processor-executable instructions stored on a non-transitory machine-readable storage medium and the hardware for the processing engine(s) (208) may include a processing resource (for example, one or more processors), to execute such instructions. In the present examples, the machine-readable storage medium may store instructions that, when executed by the processing resource, implement the processing engine(s) (208). In such examples, the system (102) may include the machine-readable storage medium storing the instructions and the processing resource to execute the instructions, or the machine-readable storage medium may be separate but accessible to the system (102) and the processing resource.

[00043] In an embodiment, the local database (210) may include data that may be either stored or generated as a result of functionalities implemented by any of the components of the processor (112) or the processing engines (208).

[00049] FIG. 3 illustrates exemplary representations (300) of the system (102) implemented within the vehicle, in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure.
[00050] In this embodiment, the system (102) can be configured to enhance passenger and vehicle safety by automatically deploying a protective barrier in response to hazardous fog conditions. The system (102) can include several interconnected components such as fog detection sensors, a processor or a central control unit, inflation chambers, a compressor unit, and a motorized retraction unit. Each component plays a critical role in monitoring real-time driving conditions, deploying protective measures, and retracting them when no longer necessary.
[00051] In an embodiment, fog detection sensors are strategically positioned around the vehicle to continuously monitor visibility levels and fog density in real time. These advanced sensors gather data on the surrounding environment, focusing specifically on conditions that reduce visibility. By detecting light scattering or similar visibility changes, these sensors can effectively monitor the onset and density of fog. They transmit this real-time data to the central control unit, ensuring that the system is immediately informed of any changes in visibility levels and can react swiftly to protect vehicle occupants.
[00052] In an embodiment, the central control unit acts as the system's processing center, receiving and analyzing data from the fog detection sensors. Once fog density crosses a predefined visibility threshold, indicating reduced safety, the control unit triggers safety measures. The central control unit processes the incoming data to determine whether to deploy the vehicle's protective system, thereby enhancing response speed in adverse conditions. When deployment is necessary, the central control unit activates the inflation chambers, overseeing the deployment and ensuring the system adjusts to environmental needs by controlling both activation and retraction based on the visibility detected. The inflation chambers may include, but not limited to, inflatable balloons. The inflatable balloons are embedded as thin sheets within the vehicle's exterior body. These balloons are engineered to expand outward, forming a robust physical barrier around the vehicle to cushion against impact forces during potential collisions. The inflatable balloons serve to absorb and disperse collision energy, minimizing damage to the vehicle's exterior and enhancing occupant protection. This system adds a layer of adaptive safety, responding dynamically to adverse weather conditions like fog, where sudden obstacles may become visible only at close range. To facilitate the rapid inflation of the balloons, the system includes a compressor unit which is a durable and reusable component responsible for quickly supplying air to the balloons. Upon receiving the activation signal from the central control unit, the compressor unit rapidly inflates the balloons, ensuring they deploy without delay. The compressor unit is designed for repeated use, allowing the safety system to reset and be ready for subsequent activations if needed.
[00053] In an embodiment, the system (102) can include a motorized retraction unit which is responsible for deflating and retracting the balloons back into their designated compartments within the vehicle. After the foggy or hazardous conditions have cleared, the central control unit signals the retraction mechanism to safely deflate and retract the balloons, restoring the vehicle to its original state. This motorized system ensures that the protective balloons are properly stowed, allowing them to be reused if another deployment becomes necessary. The retraction mechanism contributes to the system's reusability, enhancing sustainability and efficiency by making it practical to redeploy the balloons as required. This embodiment illustrates an advanced vehicle safety system that not only detects and responds to low-visibility conditions but also actively protects against potential collisions by deploying a physical barrier. By integrating real-time environmental sensing, rapid-response protective measures, and automated retraction, the system provides a proactive safety solution adaptable to dynamic driving conditions.
[00054] Example scenario 1: Highway Driving in Dense Fog
[00055] In an exemplary embodiment, the system demonstrates its capability to enhance vehicle safety in extended, low-visibility conditions. Imagine a vehicle traveling on a highway when it encounters a dense fog bank that significantly reduces visibility. As soon as the fog detection sensors identify the high fog density, they relay this information to the central control unit. The control unit, processing the data in real time, determines that the visibility has fallen below the safety threshold. In response, it activates the compressor, which rapidly inflates the balloons integrated within the vehicle's exterior. These balloons form a protective barrier around the vehicle, prepared to absorb impact forces in case of a collision with nearby vehicles or obstacles hidden in the fog. With the inflatable barrier providing additional safety, the vehicle can continue moving through the dense fog. When the vehicle exits the foggy area and visibility improves, the fog detection sensors register the change in conditions. The control unit then signals the motorized retraction mechanism to safely deflate and retract the balloons into their designated compartments, restoring the vehicle's original state and readying the system for future use.
[00056] Example scenario 2: Sudden Fog Encounter in City Traffic
[00057] In another exemplary embodiment, a vehicle is navigating through city streets when it suddenly enters a dense patch of fog. The fog detection sensors quickly register the sudden drop in visibility and alert the central control unit. Recognizing the urgency of the situation, the control unit promptly activates the compressor unit, inflating the protective balloons around the vehicle to create a physical buffer against possible impacts. This barrier helps protect the vehicle as it continues navigating through the foggy patch, which can be especially beneficial in city traffic, where cars, pedestrians, and obstacles may be in close proximity. Once the vehicle exits the fog and the sensors detect that visibility has improved, the control unit sends a command to the retraction mechanism, which deflates and retracts the balloons. This quick retraction restores the vehicle's exterior to normal, ensuring that the protective system is fully prepared for any similar situations in the future. Through these examples, the vehicle protective fog safety system showcases its capacity to adapt to both prolonged and sudden fog conditions. By seamlessly integrating real-time sensor feedback, rapid-response inflatables, and an automated retraction process, the system enhances safety for the vehicle and its occupants in varying environments.
