MONITORING SYSTEM FOR LOW-SPEED MOBILITY VEHICLE AND ANOTHER TYPE OF VEHICLE
First Claim
1. A system for monitoring a low-speed mobility vehicle and a vehicle of different type from the low-speed mobility vehicle, and having a remote monitoring device adapted to be connected to the low-speed mobility vehicle and the vehicle of different type through a first communicator,wherein the improvement comprises:
- each of the low-speed mobility vehicle and the vehicle of different type includes;
a first transmitter that transmits vehicle location data to the remote monitoring device through the first communicator,and the remote monitoring device includes;
a first distance calculator that calculates an inter-vehicle distance between the low-speed mobility vehicle and the vehicle of different type based on the vehicle location data transmitted from the low-speed mobility vehicle and the vehicle of different type; and
a second transmitter that transmits an approaching signal to the low-speed mobility vehicle and the vehicle of different type through the first communicator indicating that the vehicles are approaching each other when the inter-vehicle distance calculated by the first distance calculator is equal to or less than a first predetermined value.
