Anti-collision system for vehicles
First Claim
1. An anti-collision system for moving vehicles, comprising:
- means for determining the speed of a moving vehicle;
means for measuring the distance of the moving vehicle from an object;
a computer for receiving a number of parameters, including the speed of the vehicle, and for computing from said parameters a danger-of-collision distance to said object;
and a collision alarm actuated by said computer when the measured distance of said object is equal to or less than said danger-of-collision distance computed by the computer;
characterized in that said system also includes a control panel having parameter presetting means for presetting preselected parameters which are utilized by said computer for computing said danger-of-collision distance to said object;
said preselected parameters including at least one vehicle parameter concerning a preselected condition of the vehicle, and at least one environmental parameter concerning a preselected condition of the environment.

Abstract
An anti-collision system for vehicles includes a speed sensor for sensing the speed of the vehicle, a space sensor for measuring the distance of the vehicle from an object, a computer for computing a danger-of-collision distance to the object, an alarm actuated by the computer when the sensed distance of the object is equal to or less than the danger-of-collision distance compared by the computer, and a brake light actuated upon the actuation of said alarm. The system also includes a control panel having parameter presetting means for presetting preselected parameters concerning the vehicle, the vehicle driver, and the environment, which are utilized by the computer for computing the danger-of-collision distance to the object.
