Abstract
An equipment for detecting the movement of a preceding vehicle and giving warning. When one'"'"'s own vehicle (hereinafter referred to as "the vehicle") is at a stop, the equipment detects the forward or backward movement of said preceding vehicle and gives warning to the driver of the vehicle. The equipment comprises a distance measuring sensor for measuring the distance between the vehicle and said preceding vehicle when the vehicle is at a stop, a memory device for memorizing a value measured by said distance measuring sensor, a measurement command device for making said distance measuring sensor repeatedly measure the distance between the vehicle and said preceding vehicle, a comparison device for comparing said memorized value measured by said distance measuring sensor with values subsequently measured by said distance measuring sensor, and a warning device for giving warning when any of said values subsequently measured is different from said memorized value.
