Abstract
A radar system for detecting an object in a blind-spot zone of an operator of a vehicle includes the step of providing a system configured to detect objects proximate to a vehicle using radar. The system detects objects within a first portion of the blind-spot zone, and is reconfigured to detect objects within a second portion of the blind-spot zone different from the first portion. Once an alert for the operator is activated indicating that an object is present in the blind-spot zone, the activation of the alert is maintained a time-interval after the object has exited the blind-spot zone. The time-interval that the alert is maintained is varied in accordance with a classification or size of the object. When the object is classified as a semi-trailer, the time-interval is longer than when the object is classified as something else, an automobile or motorcycle for example.
