12. A method for preventing collisions between a first vehicle that is stationary at a first location and includes an enclosure and a second vehicle that is in motion with a trajectory, the method comprising the steps of:
-
determining, with a first safety system, the first location of the first vehicle; monitoring, with the first safety system, occupant activity in the first vehicle to detect an opening of the enclosure transmitting, with the first safety system, a warning message with the first location when detecting the opening of the enclosure; receiving, with a second safety system, the warning message; and generating, with the second safety system, a warning for the second vehicle based on the warning message. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A safety system for use in a first vehicle at a first location, the first vehicle having an enclosure, the safety system comprising:
-
a position unit configured to determine the first location; a sensor group configured to detect an opening of the enclosure; a controller coupled to the position unit and the sensor group, the controller configured to generate a first warning message including the first location when the opening of the enclosure is detected; a transmitter coupled to the controller and configured to transmit the first warning message; a receiver coupled to the controller and configured to receive a second warning message from a second vehicle; and an active response unit configured to initiate an active response based on the first warning message or the second warning message.
