1. A device for warning the operator of a stationary or moving vehicle of potential collisions with objects in his physical environment comprising operator communication means for transmitting collision information to said operator signal transmitter means for transmitting an electromagnetic signal to said objects;

  • signal receiver means for collecting reflected electromagnetic signals from said objects and developing three-dimensional object data;

    output electronics means for conditioning and transferring said data;

    data processor means for receiving said conditioned data, storing the data, computing parameters indicative of potential collisions from said data, deciding the likelihood of potential collisions from said parameters and sending control signals to the drive electronics and said operator communications system;

    drive electronics means for controlling the timing and biasing of said signal transmitter, said signal receiver and the said output electronics.
