Device for detecting relative positions between vehicles, principally for anti-collision purposes.

摘要

The device (1) to be associated with an external rear-view mirror (R) of a motor vehicle (V1) comprises a CCD-type optical sensor (2) and an electronic processing unit (3) connected to the on-board information system (5) for detecting and indicating: the presence of other approaching vehicles (V2), and the risk of collision with the vehicle (V1) on which the device is mounted, on the basis of the prediction of the intentions of the driver of the vehicle (V1).
