Abstract
Methods and systems for collision avoidance are provided. The method includes detecting, a vehicle, with one or more sensors, that is traveling on a road and determining that the vehicle is traveling in the wrong direction on the road. The method includes creating information, using data from the one or more sensors, that describes the vehicle, responsive to the determination and transmitting the information to a communicating device that is capable of communicating a message based on the information to inform other vehicles on the road that the vehicle is approaching the other vehicles on the road.
Claims20
A method to prevent highway collisions, the method comprising:
- detecting, a vehicle, with one or more sensors, that is traveling on a road;
- determining that the vehicle is traveling in a wrong direction on the road;
- creating information, using data from the one or more sensors, that describes the vehicle, responsive to the determination;
- and
- transmitting the information to a communicating device that is capable of communicating a message based on the information to inform other vehicles on the road that the vehicle is approaching the other vehicles on the road.
A collision avoidance system, comprising:
- one or more sensors that can detect a vehicle that is travelling on a road and create data based on the vehicle;
- a computer that is configured to determine that the vehicle is traveling in a wrong direction on the road based on the data;
- and
- the computer further configured to create information that describes the vehicle based on the data and transmit the information to a communicating device that is capable of communicating a message based on the information to inform other vehicles on the road that the vehicle is approaching the other vehicles on the road.
A computer readable storage medium in a collision avoidance apparatus having data stored therein representing a software executable by a computer, the software comprising instructions that, when executed, cause the collision avoidance apparatus to perform:
- detecting, a vehicle, with one or more sensors, that is traveling on a road;
- determining that the vehicle is traveling in a wrong direction on the road;
- creating information, using data from the one or more sensors, that describes the vehicle, responsive to the determination;
- and
- transmitting the information to a communicating device that is capable of communicating a message based on the information to inform other vehicles on the road that the vehicle is approaching the other vehicles on the road.
