METHOD AND DEVICE FOR INCREASING, BY INDIRECT VISION, THE FIELD OF DIRECT VISION OF THE DRIVER OF A MOTOR VEHICLE

摘要

A driver currently does not have reliable means for viewing his surroundings. The invention defines, from the vehicle (1), fields of indirect vision (2), (3) of (4) allowing, on the same scale as direct vision, within the angular limit (5) of the screen (6) at the distance (7) from the ocular points (8), the simultaneous detection of the presence of a vehicle (9) in the blind spot (10) and the monitoring of a vehicle (11) before cutting in ahead of it, or the observation of the vehicles (12) travelling on an oblique road (13) that the driver wishes to join or indeed rear obstacles such as the vehicle (14). At least one fixed or mobile lens (15) disposed laterally in front of said angular points, secured (16) to the rear of the vehicle, installed level with the headlamps, transmits, at the command of the driver via either the indicator lights or the reverse gear, digital images on the screen (6), the use of which can be shared with a GPS device and/or an onboard computer. The invention is intended to be fitted to vehicles that are new and in service.
