Electronic equipment for prevention of collisions between vehicles
First Claim
1. An early detection and collision avoidance system for providing communication between a first vehicle and a plurality of vehicles comprising:
- at least one impact sensor mounted on the first vehicle which detects an impact between the first vehicle and an object, said at least one impact sensor producing an impact signal in response thereto;
an alarm signal generator mounted on the first vehicle and connected to said at least one impact sensor for generating an alarm signal in response to the impact signal produced by the impact sensor; and
a transmitter mounted on the first vehicle and connected to the alarm signal generator for transmitting a transmitter alarm signal in response to receiving said alarm signal generated by the alarm signal generator, said transmitter alarm signal being transmitted to the plurality of vehicles;
wherein each respective vehicle of the plurality of vehicles includes;
a receiver for receiving the transmitter alarm signal generated by the transmitter; and
a proximity detector connected to the receiver for determining the distance between the first vehicle and the plurality of vehicles.

Abstract
An electronic encoder/transmitter encodes acoustic and visual signal pulses for transmission to other vehicles. A device transmits alarm signals instantaneously when the vehicle self collides, becomes blocked in the road, or when the vehicle is on a collision course with another vehicle. The device receives signals from sensors and enters a function to send an encoded radio signal via an antenna. A manual switch may also be used. Signals received by the decoder/receiver may be visualized by colored LEDs placed at a front panel. The transmitted signal is sent to all vehicles driving in the immediate area. The present invention includes acoustic and visible pulses to warn of risks and collisions which may happen in a short distance and not be visible between the vehicles. The present invention also includes an alarm placed on all four sides of the vehicle and connected to an automatic hydroelectric brake system for reducing the speed of the vehicle. An automatic horn is also included, as well as a manual alarm for crossroad proximity.
