A blind spot assist system 100 on a vehicle 102 comprises a control unit (108, Fig.1) and light detection and ranging (LiDAR) sensors 104 operable to monitor attributes of obstacles 110 (e.g. their distance, velocity, angle of approach or dimensions) from a real-time position of the vehicle and correspondingly generate a first set of signals. The control unit is configured to extract the attributes from the signals and use them to generate a collision signature for the vehicle with respect to the obstacles. It determines a percentage of matching of the generated collision signature with a set of predetermined collision signatures pertaining to known collisions and uses it to generate a set of alert signals. The percentage of matching is indicative of a severity level of collision of the vehicle with the obstacles. The vehicle may be a bicycle or two-wheeler motor vehicle and the alert signals may cause haptic feedback (e.g. vibration) in its handlebar.
