System and method of traffic signal violation risk assessment and warning

A system and method for traffic signal violation risk assessment for a vehicle. The system includes a sensor such as a front camera module (FCM) configured to capture an image in a field of view forward the vehicle; a vehicle communications system configured for at least one of vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) communications and telematic communications with an infrastructure unit, wherein the infrastructure unit is capable of providing intersection information; and a traffic signal violation risk assessment (TSVR) module in communication with the FCM and the vehicle communications system. The TSVR module analyzes the captured image to determine an intersection, a traffic light at the intersection, and a traffic light current state (TLCS); collect intersection information from the infrastructure unit, and determine a risk of traffic signal violation based on the information and implement a physical action to mitigate the risk.
