VEHICLE ALERT SYSTEM AND METHOD

A vehicle alert system includes a detection sensor configured to detect a target vehicle approaching a subject vehicle, a storage configured to store a false alert condition comprising a position or lateral error of the target vehicle with respect to the subject vehicle, and an alert determiner configured to output an alert signal when the target vehicle is detected by the detection sensor and no sensing blockage occurs, and not output the alert signal when the sensing blockage occurs and the detected target vehicle satisfies the false alert condition.
