Vehicle Warning System |
This equipment package receives location information from nearby vehicles and uses the received information to determine if there is a possibility of collision and warn the driver. This equipment package also provides information to surrounding vehicles about its own location, speed, and other information to allow other similarly equipped vehicles to warn their drivers if necessary. The same equipment also receives alerts from responding emergency vehicles in the vicinity so the driver can be warned of the approaching emergency vehicle, increasing the safety of the driver and the emergency responder. It includes on-board equipment (OBE) that sends and receives the messages and determines if there is a need to warn the driver, and the driver information system that provides the warnings. |
