Abstract (en)
[origin: EP1791101A1] Described herein is a method for warning the driver of a vehicle (2) of a condition of danger associated to the presence of at least one vulnerable road user (3). The method comprises the steps of: transmitting, via a user-identification device (4) carried by the vulnerable road user (3) a user-identification signal; receiving (110) the user-identification signal via a warning device (5) installed on board the vehicle (2); processing (130) the user-identification signal to determine a set of information regarding the displacement of the vulnerable road user (3); comparing (140, 150, 160) the information regarding the displacement of the vulnerable road user (3) with a set of information regarding the displacement of the vehicle (3) in order to predict, on the basis of the result of the comparison, the absence or the presence of a condition of impact between the vehicle (2) and the vulnerable road user (3); and in the case where the presence of a condition of impact is predicted, sending a warning (170) of a state of danger to the driver of the vehicle (2) through of the warning devices (11) installed on board the vehicle (2) itself.
