Vehicle recognition support system

摘要

A vehicle recognition system to enable a two-wheeled vehicle without a navigation system to recognize the position of a traffic intersection and to cause itself to be noticed by other vehicles. The system includes a communication distance measurement modem which receives positional information of a traffic intersection and the current position of a four wheeled vehicle from the four-wheeled vehicle. The vehicle information interface (I/F) collects vehicle velocities, acceleration and deceleration, and mileages and provides them to an electronic control unit (ECU). A differential global positioning system (DGPS) measures the current position based on an electric wave received by a GPS antenna and correction information received by a FM antenna. The ECU determines the presence of another vehicle that the two-wheeled vehicle may intersect, and outputs visual and audio signals to the helmet worn by the driver of the two-wheel vehicle.
