COLLISION WARNING SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR A VEHICLE

A collision warning system for a host vehicle includes a wireless communication system and an electronic controller. The wireless communication system is configured to receive data transmissions from remote vehicles. The electronic controller is configured to receive data transmissions from a first remote vehicle. A travel path is determined based on positional information included in the received data transmissions from the first remote vehicle, and whether the host vehicle is on the travel path is determined. Whether the second remote vehicle is on the travel path of the host vehicle is determined based on data transmissions received from the second remote vehicle. Generation of a warning is prevented upon determining that the second remote vehicle is on the travel path of the host vehicle.
