1. A computer implemented method for generating a collision warning, the method comprising:
- defining, by a computer, a monitoring area monitored by a warning device attached to a first object, wherein the monitoring area moves with the warning device;
detecting, by the computer, a second object in the monitoring area;
determining, by the computer, a collision awareness factor in relation to the monitoring area;
defining, by the computer, a warning zone in relation to the monitoring area based on the collision awareness factor;
generating, by the computer, a warning based on at least the second object being within the warning zone, and the collision awareness factor.

Abstract
A monitoring area may be defined for a monitoring device attached to a first object, wherein the monitoring area moves with the monitoring device. The monitoring device may detect a second object in the monitoring area. A collision awareness factor may be determined in relation to the monitoring area, and a warning zone may be defined in relation to the monitoring area based on the collision awareness factor. A warning may be generated based on detecting the second object within the warning zone and based on the collision awareness factor.
