<p>A vehicular distance monitoring and warning device which has five main components: # an array of laser transmitters/receivers at the front 10 and rear 12 of the Vehicle, to measure distances to objects/vehicles in the Vehicle's path and in its wake; # automatic sensors of humidity 18 and temperature 22 fitted outside the Vehicle, to provide an indication of the quality of driving conditions; # a digital feed from the speedometer of the Vehicle; # a microprocessor which, every few milli-seconds, takes the above inputs and contains a software programme to calculate quality of driving conditions and safe distances for the speed of the Vehicle, comparing the safe distances to actual distances, and communicating the results to the indicators 14 and 15; # indicators in the Vehicle 15 and at the rear of the Vehicle 14, warn when actual distances are not safe. The vehicle may also detect objects to its side. The results may be recorded to facilitate accident analysis. Radio transmitters may transmit information about weather, safe speeds etc.</p> |
