Collision Indication Based on Yaw Rate and Lateral Velocity Thresholds

The techniques and systems herein enable collision indication based on yaw rate and lateral velocity thresholds. Specifically, an in-path band is determined for a predicted path of a host vehicle. Responsive to determining that a target is within the in-path band, a lateral movement for the host vehicle at a time is determined based on whether a yaw rate of the host vehicle meets a yaw rate threshold. A lateral movement for the target at the time is also determined based on whether a lateral velocity of the target meets a lateral velocity threshold. A collision indication is generated responsive to determining, based on the lateral movements, that the host vehicle and the target are likely to be within the in-path band at the time. In this way, the collision indication more accurately reflects an imminent collision, thereby increasing safety while also mitigating false-positive events.
