1. A movement warning system for notifying a proximal entity of the approach of a vehicle comprising at least one wheel, comprising:
- a sensor system for generating motion data indicative of movement of the vehicle, where the sensor system comprisesat least one magnet supported by the at least one heel such that the at least one magnet rotates with the at least one wheel along a magnet path, anda magnetic field sensor supported in a fixed relationship to the magnet path, where the magnetic field sensor generates the motion data based on changes direction of a magnetic field established by the magnet relative to the magnetic field sensor;
a controlling mobile device for generating at least one warning signal based on at least one of linear speed distance traveled and acceleration of the vehicle where the at least one of the linear speed, distance traveled, and acceleration is calculated based on the motion data and a diameter of the at least one wheel; and
a signal generator system for generating at least one warning based on the at least one warning signal;
wherebythe signal generator generates the warning such that the proximal entity perceives the warning.

Abstract
A movement warning system for notifying a proximal entity of the approach of a vehicle comprising a sensor system, a controlling mobile device, and a signal generator system. The sensor system generates motion data indicative of movement of the vehicle. The controlling mobile device generates at least one warning signal based on the motion data. The signal generator system generates at least one warning based on the to at least one warning signal. The signal generator generates the warning such that the proximal entity perceives the warning.

12. A sensor system for detecting movement of a wheel of a vehicle, comprising:
-
at least one magnet supported by the wheel such that the at least one magnet rotates with the wheel along a magnet path; and a magnetic field sensor supported in a fixed relationship to the magnet path;
wherebythe magnetic field sensor generates the motion data based on changes of angular direction of a magnetic field established by the magnet relative to the magnetic field sensor; and at least one of linear speed, distance traveled and acceleration of the vehicle is calculated based on the motion data and a diameter of the wheel. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14)
