BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a method for outputting alert messages of a driver assistance system in a vehicle. In the method, data on the movement of the vehicle and data on accident risks in the vehicle's surroundings are acquired, the acquired data are evaluated and assigned a specific accident risk category, and an alert message is output depending on the assigned accident risk category. The invention further relates to an associated driver assistance system and to a vehicle with such a driver assistance system.
Description of the Background Art
Driver assistance systems or modules for such system, which support the driver of the vehicle during the task of driving, are being employed increasingly in vehicles. The driver assistance systems for this purpose comprise sensors in order to detect events in the vehicle's environment, its interior, or events generated by in-vehicle devices. The data produced by the sensors are evaluated and converted into signals, which support the driver during driving of the vehicle. The generated signals can result in the outputting of information or warnings. Further, the signals can also intervene directly in the driving process, for example, by activating the vehicle's brakes in a defined manner.
Meanwhile, there are many driver assistance programs for accident risk detection, which are used in vehicles. These include, for example, a lane adherence assist or lane adherence support, adaptive cruise control (ACC), a collision radar, a device for automatic emergency braking, an anti-lock braking system, traction control, an electronic stability program, and a parking assist system.
If many driver assistance programs are used in a vehicle, the need arises for the most intuitively comprehensible presentation of the system outputs. With the growing number of driver assistance modules, the handling and reading or acquisition of program outputs are becoming increasingly more difficult.
DE 10 2007 029 033 A1 describes a method for outputting warnings for a motor vehicle with a plurality of driver assistance systems. To enable a simple information assimilation for the driver, the warnings are divided into at least two different time criticality categories and displayed as a function of these. The outputting of the warnings occurs via the display of protection circles, which show different protection zones formed around a graphic representation of the vehicle. The individual protection circles correspond to the time criticality categories. Time-critical warnings are visualized by a protection circle lying farther to the inside and preferably depending on the time criticality signaled not only visually, but in addition haptically and/or acoustically.
DE 102 44 205 A1, which corresponds to U.S. Pat. No. 7,515,056 and to U.S. Pat. No. 7,145,441, describes a method and apparatus for preventing collision of vehicles, in which motion parameters of the vehicle are detected by means of sensors. A failure-to-yield criterion and a collision risk criterion are derived from these, from which a risk level is ascertained. At a low risk, the driver can be made aware of the risk situation by optical and/or acoustic signals. In further escalation stages, in addition haptic signals can be output and the brakes and/or the steering can be prepared or in fact influenced for their imminent use.
U.S. Pat. No. 7,579,942 B2 describes an apparatus for supporting the safe operation of a vehicle. In this case, a collision prediction can be generated by means of a plurality of sensor signals and a model. An alarm is output if a collision risk above a specific risk threshold is determined.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
It is the object of the present invention to provide a method for outputting alert messages of a driver assistance system and an associated driver assistance system, which enable simple information assimilation by the driver of the vehicle.
In an embodiment, the method of the invention is characterized in that a planned movement of the vehicle is derived from the detected movement of the vehicle, and it is checked whether a collision of the vehicle with another object will occur without a change in the planned movement of the vehicle. The manner of outputting the alert message is then carried out depending on the result of said collision check. The differentiated outputting of the alert message has the advantage that the driver can be informed in a simple manner whether the alert to be output refers only to a general risk, which may not occur at all, or whether the alert refers to an acutely imminent collision that will occur without intervention by the driver. The driver can be addressed even more selectively with the method of the invention, if his intervention, particularly a specific intervention such as, e.g., a full stop or evasive action, is definitely necessary.
The data on the vehicle's movement can comprise the vehicle's speed and direction. The movement can be assumed to be, for example, linearly constant depending on the situation. Further, longitudinal and lateral accelerations of the vehicle can also be considered. For example, immediately preceding changes in the speed magnitude and/or steering angle, e.g., a constant steering radius, are taken into account.
The data on accident risks can comprise position data and/or movement data of objects in the surroundings of the particular vehicle, which are compared with the data on the movement of the particular vehicle. From this conclusions can be drawn whether the vehicle is threatened with a collision with another object.
According to an embodiment of the invention, two different types of accident risks can be differentiated, namely, imminent collisions and risk zones. Whereas in the case of imminent collisions, a collision is assumed on the part of the system if the planned movement of the vehicle is not changed; in the case of detected risk zones it is not assumed with certainty that a collision will occur.
For this purpose, not only is the detected accident risk itself analyzed on the system side but in addition the planned vehicle operation is also considered. This comprises in particular the detection of a normal situation, which takes into account the driver's reactions during the routine execution of the upcoming driving task. Thus, it can be derived from the determined course of the street and/or an entered navigation route whether, for example, a vehicle is entering a curve. It should be evaluated in particular in the collision check whether the driver is performing this driving task according to the normal situation. In this case in particular a linear movement of the vehicle is not to be assumed. The process can be carried out on the system side in a similar way, for example, during parking or during already started braking before a traffic light in that the planned driver reaction is considered according to a normal situation for the planned vehicle movement.
Further, the data on accident risks also comprise conditions that usually promote an accident and thus represent a general risk. For example, a fog bank is regarded as a latent risk for a collision, whereby, because of the reduced visibility, a collision cannot be predicted with certainty. Other risks are, e.g., wet or slippery conditions due to which the risk of the vehicle skidding or overturning can exist even without a collision obstacle.
In an embodiment of the method of the invention, it is provided that the manner of outputting the alert message is differentiated visually depending on the result of the collision check. A visual differentiation has the advantage that the alert message can be configured even in an early warning stage as a visual information output and the driver learns the differentiation feature(s) in a relatively noncritical situation. On the one hand, in this warning stage he usually has a rather high comprehension in order to perceive and memorize the differentiation depending on the collision check. On the other, it is also prevented that even in an early warning stage the driver is encumbered with rather obtrusive output modalities, e.g., acoustic signals.
In an embodiment of the method of the invention, it is provided that the alert message comprises a display of rings, particularly circular rings, and/or ring segments, particularly circular ring segments, which symbolize the vehicle surroundings. The manner of outputting the ring image is carried out here depending on the result of the collision check, whereby the number of rings and/or ring segments is independent of the result of the collision check. A ring image has established itself as an especially intuitively graspable “protective shield” metaphor, as has already been described in the above-cited DE 10 2007 029 033 A1. The retention of the circular ring structure independent of the result of the collision check supports the standardization of a plurality of warning systems and a high recognition level for other warning parameters, particularly different escalation stages. It is advantageous further, if in addition the entire screen splitting, contours, and scale of the circular ring image do not depend on the result of the collision check in order to increase the recognition level.
In an embodiment of the method of the invention, it is provided that the visual display of the alert message differs in color, brightness, degree of transparency, and/or its time pattern. Time patterns comprise, e.g., flashing, dimming, or a change in color. These features can be rapidly grasped, without the driver having to concentrate his attention explicitly on the visual part of the alert message. Especially intuitive is a color selection of a yellow shade if the collision check is negative, and a red shade if the collision check is positive.
In an embodiment of the method of the invention, it is provided that the length of time to reach a position of accident risk and/or to a point in time at which a change in vehicle movement is necessary to avoid a collision is determined and the accident risk is assigned a time criticality level depending on the determined length of time. The manner of outputting the alert message is then carried out depending on the assigned time criticality level. In particular, a ring image or circular ring image is selected for the visual part of the alert message and each time criticality level is assigned a corresponding ring or circular ring. The alert message is advantageously differentiated furthermore depending on the assigned time criticality level by haptic and/or acoustic features. The alert messages can be flexibly configured in this way for the individual time criticality levels.
In the assignment of the time criticality levels, in one embodiment of the method of the invention, in addition a normal reaction time is considered which is dependent on the particular driving situation and driving task. Said normal reaction time can be selected as relatively long, for example, for confusing or complex driving situations, e.g., in city traffic. It can be set as relatively short for simple driving situations or in driving tasks in which the driver expects specific collision objects, such as, for example, during parking. The configuration of the time criticality levels can be adjusted so that independent of the particular driving task averaged over many standard traffic situations a similar probability distribution shows that a specific time criticality level has been reached. In this way, the driver can assign the alert messages better to the actually existing risk.
In an embodiment of the method of the invention, it is provided that no acoustic and/or haptic differentiation of the outputting of the alert message occurs for a first time criticality level independent of the result of the collision check and that there is an acoustic and/or haptic differentiation of the output of the alert message for a second time criticality level depending on the result of the collision check. In particular, for the lowest time criticality level no haptic and/or acoustic signals are output, so that the alertness of the driver is not reduced in this regard over time. At higher time criticality levels, the alert messages for situations in which a collision is imminent without intervention by the driver, are differentiated from general risk situations without a definite collision by the provision of additional haptic and/or acoustic signals. In this regard, according to one embodiment, acoustic and/or haptic signals, which are output in general risk situations, will be more intense in the case of an imminent collision.
If the length of time until the position of the accident risk is reached falls below a critical threshold, optionally automatic vehicle control occurs, if it was determined by means of the collision check that without a change in the planned movement of the vehicle a collision of the vehicle with another object will occur and that the time interval for a driver's reaction is too short. The beginning of the automatic vehicle control is reported to the driver, so that he understands the prevention of the corresponding driving task. After the automatic vehicle control ends, the driver is again given back the driving task, i.e., complete control over the vehicle, about which he is also informed. The informing during the prevention and/or return of the driving task occurs advantageously visually, optionally with acoustic support, e.g., in the form of a plain text message.
In an embodiment of the method of the invention, a driving situation category is determined from the direction, speed, the steering, and/or transmission setting of the vehicle. The perspective of the vehicle surroundings symbolized by the ring image is changed in the visual outputting of the alert message with a change between two driving situation categories. The image is adjusted to the particular situation, without reducing the recognition level. Driving situation categories differ particularly between forward and reverse driving.
In an embodiment of the method of the invention, a parking or maneuvering process is detected and the ring image is changed to a plan view with a change in the parking or maneuvering process. This adjustment for a parking or maneuvering process is expedient to sensitize the driver to risks in all possible angle ranges in the vehicle surroundings.
Particularly for parking and maneuvering processes with great steering wheel angles, concealment of the display area used thus far can occur. Further, a driving situation can require the driver to change his view direction. He needs to look backwards or to the side, for example. Therefore, it is provided in another embodiment that with a change between two driving situation categories the ring image of the vehicle surroundings is shown alternatively or in addition at a changed display position, e.g., on a further display disposed in the vehicle.
The driver assistance system of the invention comprises a plurality of sensors for acquiring data on the movement of the vehicle and data on accident risks in the vehicle's surroundings. The driver assistance system of the invention comprises further an evaluation unit with the aid of which the acquired data can be evaluated and assigned to a specific accident risk category, and an output device for outputting alert messages, particularly one or more displays, a loudspeaker, and haptic output output device. It comprises further a control unit which is connected to the evaluation unit and to the output device and which controls the output device in such a way that the alert messages can be output depending on the assigned accident risk category. The driver assistance system of the invention is characterized in that a planned movement of the vehicle can be derived by means of the evaluation unit from the detected movement of the vehicle and it is checked whether a collision of the vehicle with another object will occur without a change in the planned movement of the vehicle, and the output device can be controlled by the control unit in such a way that the manner of outputting the alert message is carried out depending on the result of said collision check. The driver assistance system of the invention is particularly suitable for carrying out the method of the invention. Therefore, it also has the advantages of the method of the invention.
According to the invention, a vehicle is equipped with such a driver assistance system.
Further scope of applicability of the present invention will become apparent from the detailed description given hereinafter. However, it should be understood that the detailed description and specific examples, while indicating preferred embodiments of the invention, are given by way of illustration only, since various changes and modifications within the spirit and scope of the invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art from this detailed description.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
The present invention will become more fully understood from the detailed description given hereinbelow and the accompanying drawings which are given by way of illustration only, and thus, are not limitive of the present invention, and wherein:
FIG. 1 shows a view of the cockpit of a vehicle with a driver assistance system according to an exemplary embodiment of the invention;
FIG. 2 shows schematically the basic structure of the driver assistance system shown in FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 shows a flowchart of the method for operating a driver assistance system according to an exemplary embodiment of the method of the invention for outputting alert messages of a driver assistance system; and
FIGS. 4-9 show visual displays of alert messages depending on the result of a collision check, the assigned time criticality level, and the driving situation category according to an exemplary embodiment of the method of the invention for outputting alert messages of a driver assistance system.
A view of the cockpit of a vehicle 1 with a driver assistance system according to an exemplary embodiment of the invention is shown in FIG. 1. The driver assistance system uses combination display 2 of vehicle 1 to display alert messages visually, e.g., in form of circular ring images 20, as will be explained in still greater detail in conjunction with the method of the invention. The alert messages in this case can be shown on a freely programmable display area between round instruments 3. Further, a multifunction display 4 is arranged in the upper area of the center console on which the alert messages can also be displayed.
To differentiate the alert messages for the driver of vehicle 1 according to the risk situation and an associated accident risk category so that he is well informed or alerted as appropriate for the situation, without this being perceived as annoying, a number of other multimodal output device are provided in the cockpit of vehicle 1. A light rail 5 runs along the dashboard, e.g., at the point of contact with the front windshield; this is, for example, a light guide or a string of LED lights (LED=Light Emitting Diode), which can light up or flash in different colors and patterns according to the accident risk category. A loudspeaker or signal tone generator and different haptic device, e.g., a vibration motor in the steering wheel and on the foot pedals (not shown), are provided as further output device.
The schematic basic structure of the driver assistance system is shown in FIG. 2. The driver assistance system has a plurality of driver assistance devices. A control unit 7 receives data on accident risks in the vehicle's surroundings via distance sensors 9 and via a camera system 10. Distance sensors 9 are placed, for example, in a manner known per se in the front and rear bumpers of vehicle 1. Camera system 10 comprises, for example, an attachable camera module, which is placed in the area between the roof liner and front windshield. Data on the movement of vehicle 1 are received, on the one hand, via the engine control (not shown) and, on the other, are acquired from a GPS receiver 11 (GPS=Global Positioning System) and sent to control unit 7. General data on the surroundings of vehicle 1, e.g., in regard to bridges, tunnels, roadwork, or traffic jams, can also be received via GPS receiver 11. These data can be sent alternatively or in addition from a navigation system with a digital geographic map.
An evaluation unit 8 is integrated into control unit 7 in which the data acquired via distance sensors 9, camera system 10, and GPS receiver 11 are combined and evaluated. In this regard, individual accident risks are identified and assigned corresponding accident risk categories. In particular, the planned and probable movement of vehicle 1 is derived proceeding from the detected movement of vehicle 1 from the upcoming road section detected by sensors and by means of the stored navigation route. For this purpose, the spatial and time differences in the movement of vehicle 1 from a normal movement according to the navigation route are determined. A driver can be warned early on about blind curves, when he deviates from the ideal route. Further, it is checked whether a collision of vehicle 1 with another object will occur without a change in the planned movement of vehicle 1.
Control unit 7 then generates the associated alert messages and controls different output device connected to control unit 7 to output the alert message, as will be explained in still greater detail hereafter in conjunction with the method of the invention.
The output device comprise combination display 2, multifunction display 4, and light rail 5 for the visual outputting of alert messages, which have already been described in regard to FIG. 1. Furthermore, a loudspeaker 6 or signal tone generator for the acoustic outputting of alert messages can be controlled via control unit 7.
Further, different haptic outputs of the alert messages can be generated via control unit 7. For this purpose, control unit 7 is connected to steering wheel 12, gas pedal 13, and brake system 14, particularly the brake pedal and brake hydraulic system. Haptic signals can be controlled by means of control unit 7 at steering wheel 12, e.g., as a slight shaking or vibration, in order to reach the driver with the alert message via this modality. The acceleration resistance of gas pedal 13 can be controlled by means of the control unit so that it is changeable. In addition, the brake pressure in the brake hydraulics can be increased by means of control unit 7 or brake system 14 can be controlled to bring about a full emergency stop.
The generic process of the method of the invention according to an exemplary embodiment will now be described with the use of a flowchart with respect to FIG. 3. The driver assistance system, for example, described with respect to FIGS. 1 and 2, can be used to carry out the method. The method is, for example, part of a permanently installed program of the driver assistance system. It is especially suitable to be used as an overall routine of an alert module for a number of different traffic alert programs and support programs for vehicle control.
The driver assistance program is initialized in process step 30. This occurs, for example, when the ignition key is inserted or the engine is started, so that the driver even at the start of driving profits from the overall concept of the alert module.
A driving situation category is determined first in process step 31. For this purpose, evaluation unit 8 accesses different currently valid data for vehicle control. It evaluates in particular the speed, steering angle, and transmission setting of vehicle 1. A parking or maneuvering process, e.g., with engaged reverse gear and/or at low speed with an extreme and changing steering wheel angle, city driving, and highway driving, e.g., when a specific speed is exceeded, can be identified in this way. The driving situation category is stored as a parameter for the further program sequence.
The accident risk determination is carried out in process step 32. For this purpose, the received data on the surroundings of vehicle 1 are compared in evaluation unit 8 with the data on the movement of vehicle 1. In this regard, the data from the different distance sensors 9 and from camera system 10 can also be checked for consistency among each other. In particular, stationary or moving objects in the vehicle surroundings are identified in this way or the condition of the surroundings as a potential accident risk is determined. For example, fog, poor visibility, or a slippery road surface is determined in the direction in which vehicle 1 is traveling. It is determined in particular whether the view in an angle range is so poor that the road condition and/or objects in this direction can no longer be detected with sufficient certainty; i.e., it also cannot be determined whether or not a collision is impending.
In process steps 33 and 34, each identified potential accident risk is assigned an accident risk category by evaluation unit 8. In this regard, in process step 33 it is checked for each potential accident risk whether a collision of vehicle 1 with another object would occur without a change in the planned movement of vehicle 1, i.e., without braking or steering being performed by the driver or automatically. The category classification of accident risks distinguishes especially two types of accident risks: those in which a collision is definite or very likely without intervention in the vehicle control, therefore an alert should be given of a specific collision risk, and those where a collision is not definite, only a general risk alert should be given.
In process step 34, the length of time until the position of the accident risk is reached is determined for each potential accident risk. In the case that the position cannot be reached with certainty (i.e., that a collision or entry into the risk zone is not necessarily given), the length of time can be considered that passes until the shortest distance to the position of the accident risk is reached. Depending on the length of time thus determined, the accident risk is assigned one of three time criticality levels. In particular, it is also considered according to the accident risk whether vehicle 1 including the driver's reaction time can still be brought to a stop before the position of the accident risk.
The assignment of the time criticality levels can occur further as a function of the determined driving situation category. Thus, the driver will expect very specific accident risks, for example, during parking and possibly will react more quickly than in comparable situations in moving traffic. The determination of the length of time, however, occurs independent of the result with which the collision test was ended in process step 33.
In the case of highway driving, it proved to be a useful classification that the lowest time criticality level is achieved when the length of time is still greater than 3-10 seconds, e.g., 5 seconds. During this time period, the driver can still take up information without a great time pressure and handle it sensibly and responsibly. The upper limit can be established according to the situation or left open. In the latter case, the lowest time criticality level is reached when the potential accident risk was identified for the first time. The former case, particularly for highway driving with a low traffic volume, is a possible option for not utilizing the lowest time criticality level ineffectively. No advance warning would then be given in the case of a vehicle that is ahead on the horizon.
If this length of time is shorter, but is still above a second threshold, between 1.5 seconds and 3 seconds, e.g., at 2 seconds, the second time criticality level is reached. During this time period, the driver still has the option of acting responsibly, particularly if he previously had the opportunity to be informed or forewarned in the lowest alert level.
If this length of time is shorter still, but is still above a third threshold value between 0.5 seconds and 1.5 seconds, e.g., at 1 second, the third and thereby highest time criticality level is reached. During this time period, the driver usually has only the possibility of acting reflexively.
If the driver still does not intervene, from the system side the driver can be temporarily released, completely or partially, from his driving task. E.g., an automatic full stop is executed.
In process step 35, finally a consolidation of results is performed in which the alert message to be output is based on the most critical accident risk. If a number of potential accident risks are determined, it should be prevented that the driver of vehicle 1 is overwhelmed with an abundance of signals. The selection of the most critical accident risk depending on the embodiment can be based on the time criticality or on the result of the collision check. Depending on the driving situation category, it can be expedient to give the driver a priority alert of a time-critical risk, e.g., imminent driving into a fog bank, or of a collision object still far ahead, e.g., tail end of a traffic jam.
In process step 36, finally an alert message is provided depending on the assigned accident risk category. The manner of providing the alert message depends on the result of the collision check, particularly depending on whether the collision check is positive or negative during the consolidation of the results in process step 35 in the case of the most critical accident risk. To this end, control unit 7 controls one or more output device, i.e., the display areas of combination display 2 and multifunction display 4, light rail 5, loudspeaker 6, or the haptic device in steering wheel 12, gas pedal 13, and braking system 14.
The method is continued iteratively, whereby data on the surroundings of vehicle 1 and data on the movement of vehicle 1 are determined continuously according to process step 32. The determination of driving situation category 31 may optionally not be included in the iterative process, but only considered when certain criteria trigger a corresponding event. For example, going into reverse is such an event, as a result of which a triggering signal is sent to control unit 7 in order to change to the driving situation category “parking/maneuvering.”
The visual outputs of alert messages depending on the result of the collision check, the assigned time criticality level, and the driving situation category are shown in FIGS. 4 to 9. The provision of the alert messages is further also differentiated acoustically and haptically, particularly depending on the result of the collision check and the assigned time criticality level.
In order to provide the driver with a standardized presentation of a plurality of driver assistance programs, a basic type of the visual alert message is provided independent of the particular driving situation category. The basic type is based on an intuitively perceptible circular ring image 20 as a so-called “protective shield” metaphor, which symbolizes the vehicle surroundings. Each time criticality level is assigned a circular ring which is divided into segments. The segment division can occur according to angle ranges detectable by single distance sensors 9 or camera system 10. In the shown case, there are four 90° sectors for a warning direction forward, to the back, to the right, and to the left.
Depending on the achieved time criticality level, the corresponding circular ring segments 21A-21G are visually emphasized. The number of shown circular rings is independent of the collision check result. Three circular rings are used for all images in order to leave no doubt for the driver as to the escalation phase of the system.
Situations during highway driving are shown in FIGS. 4-8. Circular ring image 20 is selected as a perspective view from the bird's eye perspective in the direction of travel and circular ring image 20 is shown on combination display 2. For this driving situation category, the back circular ring segments in the vicinity of the vehicle rear are not shown. The perspective can be changed optionally as a function of the vehicle speed. The perspective can be selected, flatter for highway driving than for city driving, for example.
In FIG. 4 the evaluation provides the data in vehicle 1 that there is an accident risk ahead. As soon as the condition for the first time criticality level is reached, circular ring segment 21A is visually emphasized. The background is shown in a color 22A, for example, in a pale gray shade. Furthermore, information on the upcoming accident risk can be displayed. In this stage, it is assumed that the driver can still visualize the situation without time pressure. At this stage, this can still be any possible accident risk. An acoustic and haptic outputting of the alert message does not occur.
Proceeding from FIG. 4, vehicle 1 in FIG. 5 has come closer to the risk zone and the condition for the second time criticality level is reached. The collision check is negative, i.e., even without a change in the movement of vehicle 1 a collision is not certain. Evasive action or braking is not necessary. The accident risk is, e.g., a hazardous stretch of road, e.g., a frozen-over section of a bridge, a section of roadwork, or a fog bank. Circular ring segment 21B is now visually emphasized in addition to circular ring segment 21A. Because there is no specific risk of a collision, but only a general risk, the color 22B, e.g., yellow, is now selected, for the background. The driver intuitively connects a general risk alert with this. In addition to the display on combination display 2, light rail 5 is illuminated in yellow (not shown). An acoustic and haptic outputting of the alert message does not occur.
Alternatively to FIG. 5, the collision check according to the situation shown in FIG. 6 is positive this time, i.e., a collision will definitely occur without a change in the movement of vehicle 1. The accident risk is, e.g., a broken-down vehicle or a tail end of a traffic jam. In order to make the driver aware of the need for evasive action or to prepare him for braking, not only is the circular ring segment 21B visually emphasized, but a signal color 22C, e.g., red, is additionally selected for the background. The driver intuitively connects a real risk with this. In addition to the display on combination display 2, light rail 5 is illuminated in red (not shown) and a single chime signal is output via loudspeaker 6. The chime signal is to warn the driver, on the one hand, but on the other, it is to be so unobtrusive that a reflexive reaction by the driver, which is not yet needed at this point in time, is avoided.
In FIG. 7, a situation is shown in which the condition for the third time criticality level was reached and the collision check is negative. This situation can have arisen from the situation shown in FIG. 5, in that the vehicle has come closer to the hazardous section of road. Alternatively, this situation can also have arisen from the situation shown in FIG. 6, in that the driver, e.g., has successfully taken an early evasive action, so that now he is no longer on a collision course with the broken-down vehicle. Circular ring segment 21C is now emphasized visually in addition to circular ring segment 21A and 21B. Because this is again only a general risk, the color 22B is again selected for the background. The illumination on light rail 5 is increased in brightness and begins to flash, in order to make the driver realize the physically close risk (not shown). An acoustic outputting of the alert message does not occur. It can be provided optionally, however, to warn the driver haptically to the effect that gas pedal 13 is acted upon by an increased counterpressure. The driver is reminded thereby that a speed reduction in the increased risk zone can generally reduce the accident risk and also the severity of the accident.
Alternatively to FIG. 7, according to the situation shown in FIG. 8, the collision check is again positive, i.e., that a collision will definitely occur without a change in the movement of vehicle 1. In order to now make the driver aware of the last possibility to begin taking evasive action or braking himself, not only is circular ring segment 21C visually emphasized and the signal color 22C selected for the background, but furthermore the illumination of light rail 5 is intensified (not shown) and a 2 kHz warning sound is output via loudspeaker 6. In addition, the alert message is output haptically in that steering wheel 12 is caused to vibrate slightly and the brake pressure in braking system 14 is increased.
Instead of the visual differentiation or in addition to the visual differentiation by the different background colors, in particular the color, brightness, and/or the degree of transparency of the circular ring segments can also be different, depending on the result of the collision check.
A situation during a parking or maneuvering process is shown in FIG. 9. At the end of a trip, it is detected, for example, that the vehicle has been stopped. Thereupon, the driving situation category is determined again and circular ring image 20 is changed from the perspective view to a plan view. In this way, the driver is informed that now accident risks from all directions are to be increasingly expected. In the shown case, reversing was engaged and an accident risk in the back sector of the vehicle is determined. Depending on which time criticality level is assigned, circular ring segments 21D-21F are visually emphasized. Depending on the result of the collision check, the outputting of the alert message is differentiated. In the case of a positive collision check, in addition to the visual outputting of the alert message, an acoustic signal is output via loudspeaker 6.
During a parking or maneuvering process, circular ring image 20 is shown not only on combination display 2, but also automatically on multifunction display 4 and optionally on other displays. This assures that in case the view of combination display 2 is blocked by inconvenient steering wheel angles, the driver can read circular ring image 20 in another position.
The invention being thus described, it will be obvious that the same may be varied in many ways. Such variations are not to be regarded as a departure from the spirit and scope of the invention, and all such modifications as would be obvious to one skilled in the art are to be included within the scope of the following claims.


Shooting in S-Log is one of the most common traits of achieving a cinematic look. Generally, enabling this mode lets you take advantage of the full dynamic range of your camera whether it’s a Red Dragon, Sony FS-7, Arri Alexa, Canon C300, Sony A7s or any other camera capable of shooting Log. One of the biggest drawbacks in this particular situation, however, is that inevitably you have to apply a look-up table (LUT) to your footage or, at least, do some basic colour adjustments in order to be able to display the images accurately in Rec.709 colour space on your production monitor.
In terms of workflow, there are a couple of options you have when dealing with Log recording. You can either import and edit your clips directly in DaVinci Resolve, or you can do some initial colour grading of the footage, generate a custom 3D LUT and apply it in your NLE of choice.
Here’s a quick tutorial produced by Make Your Media that demonstrates how to apply a custom look-up table in Premiere Pro CC.
The beauty of using look-up tables is that you don’t have to create a separate one for each clip. This is great because it allows you to create a particular look that you can apply very quickly eliminating the necessity to render all of the clips after applying the initial colour corrections. Adjusting S-Curves, brightness, contrast and colour saturation of your clips is a good place to start. After you get rid of the flat and washed out look of your footage, you can export a custom table from DaVinci Resolve.
Thankfully, Resolve makes it really easy to create a LUT. All you have to do is to color-grade your shot as you normally would, and then right-click on the thumbnail of your file, and click on Generate 3D LUT.
Open your S-Log clips in Premiere Pro, navigate to the Effects Panel and type Lumetri. Drag and drop the Lumetri effect onto your clip. In the window, you need to locate and pick the LUT you’ve just created.
Alternatively, you can add an Adjustment Layer on top of your clips and drop the Lumetri Effect there instead. This will save you the effort to add the look-up table every time you add a new clip on your timeline.
Either way, when the effect is applied, you should be able to see the same stylised look you’ve got in DaVinci Resolve. Now you can continue with further editing your clips.
Utilising custom LUTs is a true time-saving technique, as this is one of the most efficient ways to get the most tonal range out of the sensor of your camera, thus achieving a truly cinematic look without compromising on pre-visualisation of your footage while maintaining its proper exposure and colours throughout the edit.

I have a Taz 6 that’s experiencing issues.
Recently we had to switch to a HS .8mm tool head because we sheared a brass nozzle in the stock tool head and couldn’t get it out. I tried printing out a rocktopus to see if the it printed right, the nozzle was smearing the pla bead and the print came out crappy.
After more digging, I realized I had to update the firmware to the printer. I added printer TAZ 6 HS .8mm and updated the firmware in Cura. Now when I attempt to auto home the printer, instead of hitting the home button on the bed, it hits the stainless steel disk at the top left corner of the bed.
Is there a way to manually zero the bed or should I just re flash the firmware update?


Granite, the main mineral composition of pyroxene, plagioclase, a small amount of olivine, biotite and trace magnetite, black color, structural precision, after hundreds of millions of years of aging, uniform texture, good stability, strength, hardness High, can maintain high precision under heavy load. Applicable to industrial production and laboratory measurement work. Natural granite materials by mechanical processing, hand-refined from. Black luster, the structure of fine texture uniformity, good stability. Strength, high hardness. And has: no rusty acid and alkali, no magnetization, the same type, good wear resistance and so on. Can be stable at heavy load and general temperature. Granite slabs are precision benchmarking tools made of natural stone materials, and are ideal for instrumentation, precision tools, and mechanical parts. Especially for high-precision measurement, due to its unique characteristics, leaving the cast iron plate dwarfs. Granite is drawn from the underground high-quality rock layer, after hundreds of millions of years of natural aging, the shape is extremely stable, do not worry about the temperature difference due to conventional deformation. Strict physical tests and selection of granite material, crystal fine, hard texture, compressive strength of 2290-3750 kg / square centimeter, the hardness of Mohs hardness of 6-7. Very resistant to wear, acid, alkali, high corrosion resistance, never rust. As a result of granite non-metallic materials, no magnetic reaction, no plastic deformation. Its hardness is 2-3 times higher than cast iron (equivalent to HRC> 51), so the accuracy of good retention. In the use of rock tools even by heavy objects bump, up to a few pieces of ballast it, and not like a metal tool, due to deformation and damage accuracy. It is superior to high-quality cast iron and steel production of precision measurement of reference parts, you can get high and stable accuracy.


For just over a decade, I’ve been working entirely remotely. Some key personal benefits have been the lack of an hour-long drive to the office and back, plenty of cost savings due to that lack of a commute, reduced distractions, and an improved work-life balance. I’ve worked with colleagues and clients from across the world, exposing me to diverse perspectives and opportunities for professional growth.
For the majority of that time, one thing has been missing in implementing remote work: those key watercooler moments that spark creative ideas and solutions to problems. But no longer. Rubber duck debugging is excellent, but bouncing ideas off a colleague without needing to schedule a meeting can be invaluable. Plenty of teams do all-hands sessions, but certain personality types dominate the discussion in those meetings.
Pixar’s building was famously designed with an open floor plan and common areas, such as a central atrium, a cafe, and a screening room, intended to encourage chance encounters and informal conversations among employees. The aim was to create a space to facilitate the sharing of ideas and foster a sense of community and collaboration among the team.
How can we help promote this type of creativity and collaboration online?
For the past decade, the answer has been text-based communication. A lot of teams followed a progression that started from IRC, which is still near and dear to my heart, then moved to the now defunct HipChat, and from there, most people moved to Slack or Teams. Some brave souls even transitioned into Discord, used primarily by gamers but quickly picking up steam in the business world.
At first, these communication platforms offered only text-based communication, and you would bolt on meetings through Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, or Zoom. As the platforms evolved, they added support for video and voice calls, and plenty of teams implemented “team rooms” that you could drop into for collaboration. Still, these solutions have yet to help provide a mechanism for those chance watercooler moments.
At Opreto, we have a RocketChat instance for text-based communication. But, we have been experimenting with Spatial Audio based applications for increased collaboration and those hard-to-create watercooler moments. After testing some applications, we finally landed on Kumospace.
Our Kumo allows us to create a layout like in an actual office, with shared spaces and personal offices that you can customize. You only hear the audio of people in your audio zone based on either proximity or the room you’re currently in. You can move throughout the layout, dropping in and out of different conversation zones as needed. Of course, you can go into a ‘head down’ mode, where nobody can interrupt you, or you can close the door to your office.
But has it created those watercooler moments?
Kumo has been a game-changer for our team, successfully increasing the watercooler moments that are so important to us. Since implementing Kumospace, we’ve seen a marked increase in the frequency of chance encounters, leading to more innovative ideas and solutions. Our team has been so impressed with the platform that we’ve moved most of our meetings onto it.
Virtual Office platforms offer an exciting new way to build community and foster creativity. As a fully remote company, exploring new tools and strategies for promoting collaboration and innovation among remote teams is essential. I’m excited to see how this technology will continue to evolve and transform how we work, and these applications will play a significant role in shaping how we work.

New EnerVent Technology Reduces Energy Costs for Tissue Makers
EnerVent venting technology allows the tissue maker to increase post pressure roll consistency through grooved and drilled venting patterns in their Xtreme TS and other Stowe Woodward rubber pressure rolls, without significant loss of cover life. Results have shown potential for as much as 2 to 3 points in post pressure roll consistency improvement allowing substantial hood temperature reduction and speed increase. There is no longer a need to convert to polyurethane pressure roll covers, like Stowe Woodward Rebel, to run grooved pressure rolls for reduced drying costs.
EnerVent provides the most comprehensive performance package for your tissue machine:
- Increased post pressure roll consistencies, some by as much as 2.5% points!
- Lower hood temperatures
- Reduced energy consumption
- Increased machine speeds, some by more than 250 FPM
- Improved felt cleaning opportunities
- More stable and sustainable pressing performance
EnerVent is the ideal venting solution for rubber tissue pressure roll applications. The proprietary (patent pending) engineered venting is designed with the correct effective void volume for high speed nip dewatering in the Yankee / pressure roll nip. The EnerVent system considers felt design, vacuum capacity and water handling capability, providing an engineered venting pattern of suction holes and grooves to achieve both maximum water removal and roll cover life.

We offer tailored battery solutions for both off-grid and grid tied solutions to suit your individual requirements.
Battery technology and the range of solutions’ available have been evolving rapidly in recent years. The development of Lithium-ion technology presents significant increases in performance, longevity and efficiency over conventional battery technology.
Integrating a battery facility into a Solar system is an effective way to maximise the benefit from your Solar generated energy because it allows the home owner to capture surplus daytime generated that is not immediately used by the home, which would otherwise be exported for a credit. Because the value of an exported kWh of energy to the grid is significantly less than what its costs to purchase back that same kWh from the Grid in non-productive evening hours, this is the best way to maximise the financial return from your investment in Solar. In many cases the most important benefit is to provide an emergency power supply in the event of a Grid failure. All of which provide a significant benefit to the home owner.
Adding batteries to a system incurs extra investment, however they are steadily becoming more cost effective and now offer a greater return on investment. This is due to a shift away from conventional lead-acid and Gel technology to the significantly greater performance properties of lithium-ion technology (ten-year warranty in most cases), and higher yield of energy from new technology have made battery investment a more viable proposition.
There are now a range of scalable battery solutions’ available. These are modular solutions that allow the home owner to invest in a modest size battery facility. This flexibility enables you to test the return on investment before committing to larger system, or simply to spread the capital investment over a period of time. This may also occur for example, if your average daytime consumption decreases, or if you choose to expand the size the rooftop array, thereby generating more surplus energy.
Many of our clients choose to future proof for battery integration at a later date by investing in a Hybrid inverter that has extra functionality above a normal String Inverter to manage a battery facility, so that they have the option to integrate batteries when they choose to do so.

Pat has an 80 year old house and the previous owner built an addition onto it. The floor is tiled and when Pat looked underneath the floor to find out why it was so bouncy, she discovered (see the photo) that the floor joists were 2x4's turned flat! That's not a floor, that's a trampoline, and one that could break right through. Pat wants to know if she can prop it up or whether she has to tear it all out.
She definitely cannot leave it as is. This is beyond a "springy" floor and into a dangerous floor, especially with heavy tiles on top of it as well. Floors are usually supported with 2x8 or even 2x10 joists. The picture shows just how much less support you get from a flat 2x4 than from a 2x8 on edge. What you can't see in a photo is how much the flat 2x4 springs while the 2x8 on edge does not. Something that fulfills the requirements of the code span tables must be put under this strange floor, or the entire floor riped out and rebuilt right. (Some engineered wood floor joists could give you the same strength with less depth than the 2x8s.) An important detail is that the joists themselves must be supported by something that will carry the weight down to the walls of the foundation, or at least to the floor of the basement. If you measure how far the joists must span between supports, someone with the span table book could tell you exactly what size lumber at what spacing is necessary to make a proper floor. You can get your own copy of the Span Tables from the Canadian Wood Council in Ottawa.

The Montreuil, France-headquartered video game developer Ubisoft, on Wednesday, bombed its fans with a great news – confirming the remake of Splinter Cell video game. The development is being led by Ubisoft Toronto.
According to the company, the first installment in the video game series ‘Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell – 2002’ will be rebuilt as new for the fans across the world by leveraging Ubisoft’s own Snowdrop engine. The engine will help the company deliver new-generation visuals and gameplay. It is important to note that the same engine was used to develop Ubisoft’s Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, and the upcoming Star Wars game.
A new Splinter Cell game was rumoured for years since the last installment ‘Splinter Cell Blacklist 2013’, but finally, we have an announcement by the company over Twitter,
Ubisoft also uploaded a video presentation on YouTube on Wednesday, depicting various clips from the 2002’s Splinter Cell video game and statements from the Ubisoft team members.
Speaking of the new Splinter Cell game, Ubisoft producer Matt West, in a statement denoted,
“What we’re trying to do is make sure the spirit of the early games remains intact, in all of the ways that gave early Splinter Cell its identity,”
“So, as we’re building it from the ground up, we’re going to update it visually, as well as some of the design elements to match player comfort and expectations, and we are going to keep it linear like the original games, not make it open world.” West added
Sharing his thoughts on Sam Fisher, the main character of the video game series, West shared,
“You’ve got to have a tagline, and one of the things that we’re using currently as the tagline, from the very beginning, is the phrase ‘respect the goggles. I love the goggles as a symbol for Sam. We are making a game that is going to be modern, but built on the foundation of the brand’s rich history. The game earned its stripes the right way, by being innovative and challenging, and a really different experience than what was in the marketplace at the time. ‘Respect the goggles’ helps to remind us of the fact that we have to do it justice,”
Back in September 2020, Ubisoft announced the remake of Prince of Persia – The Sands of Time which is under development at Ubisoft Pune, India.
