System and method for enhancing driver situational awareness in a transportation vehicle

摘要

A situation communication mirror enhances driver situational awareness in a transportation vehicle. The situation communication mirror includes a rearward facing reflective member having a plurality of integrally-formed and arcuately distinct reflective surface areas. A first reflective surface area has a relatively slight curvature defining a relatively focused driver field of view. Second and third reflective surface areas each have an increased curvature as compared to the first surface area, and respectively define wider driver fields of view.
