Apparatus for preventing collision of vehicles
First Claim
Patent Images
1. An apparatus for preventing collision of a vehicle comprising:
- a device for measuring a distance R from a driving vehicle to an obstacle and a relative velocity V of said driving vehicle to said obstacle;
a circuit for generating a damping signal when the relation of said distance R, said relative velocity V and a preset deceleration α
becomes the relation of R <
V2 /2α
;
a deceleration detector for detecting the actual deceleration α
'"'"' of said driving vehicle, said deceleration detector including oscillator circuit means for generating an unmodulated carrier wave, strain gauge bridge means connected to said oscillator circuit means for modulating said carrier wave in accordance with said actual deceleration α
'"'"', and demodulating circuit means connected to said strain gauge bridge means for demodulating said modulated carrier wave and generating a signal proportional to said actual deceleration α
'"'"'; and
a correction circuit for comparing the actual deceleration α
'"'"' detected by said deceleration detector with the present deceleration α and
correcting the damping signal depending upon the comparative data.
