COLLISION AVOIDANCE SYSTEM PROVIDING A VECTOR SIGNAL REPRESENTATIVE OF THE DISTANCE AND BEARING BETWEEN A PRIME VEHICLE AND TARGET OBJECT AT A PREDICTED CLOSEST POINT OF APPROACH THEREBETWEEN

摘要

Radar and associated apparatus track the course of neighboring target vehicles and display closest points of approach between the prime vehicle and the target vehicles to signal potential collisions sufficiently in advance to avoid them, may enter a proposed maneuvering change for the prime vehicle into the apparatus, and the apparatus displays whether the proposed change will present any collision situations.
