METHOD FOR AVOIDING COLLISIONS AND A COLLISION AVOIDANCE SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A collision avoidance system, the system comprises a tactile interface device;
- the tactile interface device comprises a connecting element shaped such as to be worn around a thigh of a pilot;
wherein the connecting element is coupled to multiple tactile sensory devices;
wherein when the connecting element is worn around the thigh of the pilot the tactile sensory devices are in tactile communication with the pilot;
wherein the multiple tactile sensory devices are controlled by a controller;
wherein if another plane presents a threat of collision, the controller activates at least one tactile sensory device out of the multiple tactile sensory devices such as to provide a tactile maneuver indication that is indicative of a collision avoidance maneuver.
