System and method of avoiding collisions
First Claim
1. A system comprising:
- a plurality of sensors configured to provide a plurality of signals based on energy reflected by an object;
a processor communicatively coupled to the plurality of sensors and configured to generate data corresponding to a transverse location of the object based on an algorithm; and
an operator interface device coupled to the controller and configured to render human perceivable information based on the data.

Abstract
A collision avoidance system including a control module, a first transmitting device connected to the control module, wherein the first transmitting device transmits a signal, a first receiving device connected to the control module, wherein the first receiving device receives a return of the signal transmitted from the first transmitting device and transmits a first return signal representative of the return to the control device, a second transmitting device connected to the control module, wherein the second transmitting device transmits a signal, and a second receiving device connected to the control module device, wherein the second receiving device receives a return of the signal transmitted from the second transmitting device and transmits a second return signal representative of the return to the control device, wherein the control module includes measurement circuitry used to measure the first and second return signals and display means for displaying a transverse location of an object as a function of said first and second return signals.
