The present invention describes an anti-collision system (1) for ground vehicles, comprising a first transceiver device (4), associated with an obstacle (B), configured to generate and transmit one or more wireless signals (SG_B_i), at pre-established time intervals, the first wireless signal (SG_B_1) carrying an obstacle identification code (ID_1); a second transceiver device (3), associated with a ground vehicle (A), configured to transmit one or more wireless signals (SG_A_i) and to receive said one or more wireless signals (SG_B_i) comprising said first wireless signal (SG_B_1) carrying the obstacle identification code (ID_1); a processing unit (20) configured to process collision data of said vehicle (A) comprising: a first calculation module (21) configured to determine the trajectory (D_TRJ) of the ground vehicle (A) and the obstacle (B) as a function of said wireless signals (SG_B_i) and said wireless signals (SG_A_i); a second calculation module (23) configured to determine on the basis of said trajectory (D_TRJ) the probability of collision between the ground vehicle (A) and the obstacle (B); an alerting module (24) configured to generate and send a signal of probability of collision (S_COLL) between the ground vehicle (A) and the obstacle (B) as a function of a high probability of collision between said ground vehicle (A) and the obstacle (B). The invention further describes a corresponding method and computer program.
An anti-collision system (1) for ground vehicles, comprising:
The system (1) according to one or more of the preceding claims, wherein the alerting module (24) sends said signal of probability of collision (S_COLL) to a control module (5) of the ground vehicle (A) and/or to an alerting device (6) configured to alert the driver of the vehicle (A) and/or the persons who are in the vicinity of the vehicle (A) of a situation of potential danger.
The system (1) according to one or more of the preceding claims, wherein said first transceiver device (4) associated with the obstacle (B) is configured to send at least one characteristic parameter (P_B_i) of the movement of the obstacle (B) and the processing unit (20) comprises a calculation module (22) configured to calculate the movement (S_MOV) of the obstacle (B) as a function of said characteristic parameter (P_B_i).
The system (1) according to one or more of the preceding claims, wherein the transceiver (4) associated with the obstacle (B) is operatively associated with an IMU (20) comprising one or more among, at least:
The system (1) according to one or more of the preceding claims, wherein the second transceiver device (4) associated with the obstacle (B) is configured to receive the relative position from the first transceiver device (3) associated with the vehicle (A).
The system (1) according to one or more of the preceding claims, wherein the processing unit (20) comprises a filtering module configured to filter the signals (SG_A_1;
An anti-collision method for ground vehicles operating in a work environment, comprising the steps of:
