Motorcycle detection and notification system and associated method
First Claim
1. A motorcycle detection and notification system for detecting said proximity of a vehicle to an automobile, said system comprising:
- a transmitter adapted to be attached to a vehicle, said transmitter comprisinga housing;
a frequency selector within said housing;
wherein one of a unique frequency signal is selected from said frequency selector;
wherein said unique frequency signals comprise a first frequency signal, a second frequency signal, and a third frequency signal;
wherein a unique frequency signal is generated by said transmitter upon selection of a frequency signal from said frequency selector;
a receiver adapted to be attached to an automobile dashboard and further adapted to be in operational communication with an automobile computer relay;
an automobile side mirror;
said receiver further being in operational communication with said transmitter and said automobile side mirror;
wherein said receiver generates a first image in said automobile side mirror upon receipt of a first frequency signal from said transmitter;
wherein said receiver generates a second image in said automobile side mirror upon receipt of a second frequency signal from said transmitter;
wherein said receiver generates a third image in said automobile side mirror upon receipt of a third frequency signal from said transmitter.

Abstract
The present invention concerns that of a new and improved motorcycle-emergency vehicle detection and notification system for use when a motorcycle is in operation in vehicular traffic. As a result, costly and tragic accidents are prevented and, more importantly, precious lives are saved as the system gives a clear indication to avoid a lane change, and to yield to the motorcyclist or emergency vehicle as they approach. By offering both an audible and visual indication that it is, or is not, safe to change lanes, the present invention adds significantly to the safety of a vehicle when driving along streets and highways, which are becoming increasingly congested.
