System and method for operating a safety system for a towed implement

Abstract

In one aspect, a safety system for a towed implement may include an implement frame structured to be towed by a work vehicle. The safety system may also include an object detection sensor affixed to the implement frame with a field of view sized to capture an image scene in proximity to the implement frame, the object detection sensor structured to generate a scene signal representing the image scene. The safety system may also include a safety control system configured to generate a safety control signal based on a detection data signal, the detection data signal based on a determination of whether an object is detected in the scene signal, the detection data signal having a positive object detection indication if the object is within the image scene of the object detection sensor and a negative object detection indication if the object is not detected within the image scene.
