Collision prevention device and method for a vehicle on the ground

Abstract

A collision prevention device includes a device for localizing obstacles; a device for acquiring obstacle localization data; a device for localizing an equipped vehicle; and a collision prevention computer for combining the obstacle localization data coming from the device for acquiring obstacle localization data; for taking into account a description of a configuration of the equipped vehicle and the localization of the equipped vehicle; for detecting proximity conflicts between the equipped vehicle and the localized obstacles; for generating alerts in the case of proximity of the equipped vehicle and a localized obstacle; and for generating at least one solution for resolving each conflict detected. The collision prevention device further includes a presentation device for presenting warnings to a driver of the equipped vehicle.
