Abstract
A collision avoidance system includes a sensor adapted to detect at least one vehicle in the vicinity of a predetermined area and generate target data relating to the at least one vehicle. An awareness engine receives the target data and evaluates the target data for a threat of a collision. An alerting system is adapted to alert the at least one vehicle in the event of a threat of a collision, the alerting system being activated by the awareness engine.
Claims20
A collision avoidance system, comprising:
- a sensor adapted to:
- detect at least one vehicle in a vicinity of a predetermined area, and
- generate target data relating to the at least one vehicle;
- an awareness engine adapted to:
- receive the target data from the sensor, and
- evaluate the target data for a threat of a collision;
- and
- an alerting system adapted to alert the at least one vehicle in the event of a threat of a collision, the alerting system being activated by the awareness engine.

An airport traffic collision avoidance system, comprising:
- a vehicle sensor configured to:
- detect a signal transmitted by at least one vehicle in a vicinity of a predetermined area of an airport,
- use the detected signal to determine at least one of a position, direction, and velocity of the vehicle, and
- generate a target data relating to the at least one vehicle;
- an awareness engine adapted to:
- receive the target data from the sensor, and
- evaluate the target data for a threat of a collision with another ground or airborne vehicle, or an obstruction;
- and
- an alerting system adapted to:
- receive a command from the awareness engine, and
- alert the at least one vehicle in the event of a threat of a collision in the predetermined area,
- the alerting system being selectably activated by the command from the awareness engine.

A collision avoidance system for a movable obstacle, comprising:
- a sensor configured to:
- detect a signal transmitted by at least one vehicle in a vicinity of a predetermined area of a movable obstacle,
- use the detected signal to determine at least one of a position, direction, and velocity of the vehicle, and
- generate a target data relating to the at least one vehicle;
- an awareness engine adapted to:
- receive the target data from the sensor, and
- evaluate the target data for a threat of a collision with the movable obstacle;
- and
- an alerting system adapted to:
- receive a command from the awareness engine, and
- alert the at least one vehicle in an event of a threat of a collision with the movable obstacle,
- the alerting system being selectably activated by the command from the awareness engine.
