VEHICLE COLLISION AVOIDANCE APPARATUS, VEHICLE COLLISION AVOIDANCE METHOD AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT THEREOF
First Claim
1. A vehicle collision avoidance apparatus for avoiding collision with a first vehicle, the first vehicle having a first warning list, the vehicle collision avoidance apparatus being disposed on a second vehicle, the second vehicle being able to calculate a safe distance and being apart from the first vehicle by a distance, the vehicle collision avoidance apparatus comprising:
- an identification (ID) identifying unit, being configured to identify an ID of the first vehicle;
a distance detecting unit, being configured to generate a first detection result when the distance is less than the safe distance; and
a message transmission and warning unit, being electrically connected to the distance detecting unit, and being configured to transmit a first join-in message to the first vehicle, according to the ID of the first vehicle, in response to the first detection result;
wherein the first vehicle adds the second vehicle into the first warning list in response to the first join-in message so that the first vehicle transmits a first warning message to the message transmission and warning unit according to the first warning list when the first vehicle brakes, and the message transmission and warning unit is further configured to send out a warning notification in response to the first warning message.

Abstract
A vehicle collision avoidance apparatus, a vehicle collision avoidance method, and a computer program product thereof are provided. The vehicle collision avoidance apparatus is disposed on a vehicle and is used to prevent the vehicle from crashing into a front vehicle. There is further a back vehicle behind the vehicle. The front vehicle will transmit a warning message to the vehicle collision avoidance apparatus disposed on the vehicle when the front vehicle brakes. The vehicle collision avoidance apparatus disposed on the vehicle will send out a warning notification in response to the warning message, and transmit the warning message to the back vehicle. Similarly, the vehicle collision avoidance apparatus can also be disposed on the front vehicle and the back vehicle to execute the same operations.
