First Claim
Patent Images
1. A vehicle safety assurance system comprising:
- a radar device for detecting an operating parameter of the vehicle relative to an object, said operating parameter including the distance from the vehicle to the object;
means for continuously deriving a safety limit value of the operating condition of the vehicle relative to said object as a function of the detected distance or as a function of roadway speed of the vehicle; and
means for visually indicating the difference between said safety limit value and said detected operating parameter.

Abstract
A radar-operated vehicle safety assurance system includes a radar device which detects the vehicle relative speed or range to an object. A safety limit value of the detected operating parameter is computed by means of a safety range detection or safety speed detection circuit as a function of a detected operating parameter. A visual indicator is provided which visually indicates the difference between the detected value and the computed safety limit value to allow the vehicle driver to become continuously aware of the marginal conditions of the vehicle in relation to the safety limit.
