Vehicle Collision Prevention System

A magnetic repulsion system for preventing vehicle collisions, the magnetic repulsion system comprising:

• primary electromagnets of a primary vehicle;
• secondary electromagnets of a secondary vehicle;
• a primary communication module of the primary vehicle configured to communicate with a secondary communication module of the secondary vehicle to notify the secondary vehicle that the primary vehicle includes the primary electromagnets, the primary communication module periodically transmits messages from the primary vehicle to inform the secondary vehicle and other adjacent vehicles that the primary vehicle is equipped with the magnetic repulsion system regardless of whether a collision is imminent, the secondary communication module configured to communicate with the primary communication module to notify the primary vehicle that the secondary vehicle includes the secondary electromagnets regardless of whether a collision is imminent;
• and
• a primary control module of the primary vehicle configured to activate one or more of the primary electromagnets proximate to the secondary vehicle, and a secondary control module of the secondary vehicle configured to activate one or more of the secondary electromagnets proximate to the primary vehicle when a collision between the primary and secondary vehicles is imminent;
• wherein the primary communication module includes at least one of a directional antenna, infrared light communication, visible light communication, sonar communication, and a symbol recognition camera each configured to determine whether the secondary vehicle is equipped with the secondary electromagnets.

A method for preventing vehicle collisions comprising:

• transmitting a message from a primary vehicle to an adjacent secondary vehicle informing the secondary vehicle that the primary vehicle is equipped with a primary magnetic repulsion system including one or more primary electromagnets;
• periodically transmitting the message from the primary vehicle to inform the adjacent secondary vehicle and other adjacent vehicles that the primary vehicle is equipped with the primary magnetic repulsion system regardless of whether a collision is imminent;
• determining whether the secondary vehicle is equipped with a secondary magnetic repulsion system including one or more secondary electromagnets regardless of whether a collision is imminent;
• determining whether a collision is imminent between the primary vehicle and the secondary vehicle;
• and
• activating one or more of the primary electromagnets of the primary vehicle opposite to the secondary vehicle when collision between the primary vehicle and the secondary vehicle is imminent, and when the secondary vehicle is equipped with the secondary magnetic repulsion system including the one or more secondary electromagnets;
• wherein the message is transmitted from the primary vehicle with a primary communication module including at least one of a directional antenna, infrared light communication, visible light communication, sonar communication, and a symbol recognition camera each configured to determine whether the secondary vehicle is equipped with the one or more secondary electromagnets.
