1. An apparatus for the automatic detection of dangerous objects in the left and right sides of vehicle and in its back space comprising:

  • (a) generators, capable of generating individualized signals;

    (b) ultrasound transmitters activated by generators for emitting a continuously or pulsed or modulated ultrasound signal with defined angle of radiation;

    (c) ultrasound receivers for receiving a signal depending on the road situation connected to an analog or digital analyzer for determination of intensity, speed of change, Doppler'"'"'s frequency change and angle of fall of said received signal that depends on road situation;

    (d) amplifiers, for amplifying said received signal depending on road situation;

    (e) signal analyzer includes time and frequency discriminators for speed and distance determination, received returned signal from amplifiers and standard signal from generator;

    (f) control and calculation unit with condition inputs including vehicle speed and turn signal;

    (g) communication terminals, including alarm or display unit for communication with a driver, said alarm or display unit providing alarm or signalization to said driver in the event of the dangerous objects presence in a predefined area, wherein said pre-defined area is a first area that is limited by lines of said driver'"'"'s direct view, a second area of the borders of left and right adjacent lines of traffic and a third area of a predetermined distance back from the vehicle, said predefined area including dead area open space defined by angles β

    1 and β

    2;

    (h) individualizing of continuous or pulsed or modulated ultrasound signals for each individual vehicle blind spot detector, thereby preventing interference between ultrasound vehicle detection signals emitted and received by adjacent vehicles.
