Abstract

See full text

A system and method are provided and include a blind spot monitoring system with a blind spot sensor that monitors a blind spot alert area of a subject vehicle and generates an alert when a secondary vehicle is detected within the blind spot alert area of the subject vehicle. A controller receives at least one of traffic sign data and GPS data, determines whether a current lane of the subject vehicle is merging or is going to merge with a second lane, and expands the blind spot alert area in response to determining that the current lane of the subject vehicle is merging or is going to merge with the second lane.
