Group monitoring and collision avoidance system and method which is mounted on a vehicle

摘要

A group or solo monitoring system and method for collision avoidance that uses a transceiver circuitry mounted on a vehicle. The circuitry can include a microprocessor, a memory having stored therein non-transitory instructions for programming the microprocessor, a visual indicator, an audio indicator, a user interface including a display screen and navigation buttons, an RF transceiver with antenna, and a power supply. Non-transitory instructions stored in memory configure and control the microprocessor to enable a user to enter data into the memory via the user interface via the display screen and navigation buttons. A vehicle group can be formed and a proximity perimeter created about the group. Visual and audio alerts are issued to avoid a collision in the event that a non-group vehicle has been detected as having penetrated the proximity perimeter and is closing in on at least one vehicle of the group.

1. Group monitoring and collision avoidance system for mounting on a vehicle comprising transceiver circuitry including a microprocessor, a memory having stored therein non-transitory instructions for programming the microprocessor, a visual indicator, an audio indicator, a user interface including a display screen and navigation buttons, an RF transceiver with antenna, and a power supply; said transceiver circuitry configured and controlled by the non-transitory instructions stored in memory to enable a user of the transceiver to enter data into the memory by interacting with the user interface via the display screen and the navigation buttons, to enable the transceiver to communicate with other like transceivers mounted on similar vehicles to form a vehicle group, to establish and monitor a proximity perimeter about the formed group of vehicles as the vehicles and their users travel, for group monitoring and for initiating visual and audio alerts to avoid a collision in the event that a non-group vehicle has been detected as having penetrated the proximity perimeter and is closing in on at least one vehicle of the group.
