Abstract
Vehicle warning systems and methods comprising at least one detection device having instructions stored in a memory and executed by one or more processors communicatively coupled with a capture device and a sensor, wherein the one or more processors are configured to receive identification data and detection data of a vehicle travelling along a path from the at least one detection device, wherein the detection data includes distance, speed, and position data measured by the sensor; determine whether the vehicle is travelling along the path in an erroneous direction; and provide a warning across a network to a receiving device associated with the vehicle, wherein the warning alerts an operator of the vehicle of travel in the erroneous direction.
Claims20
A vehicle warning system, comprising:
- (a) at least one detection device having instructions stored in a memory and executed by one or more processors communicatively coupled with a capture device and a sensor, wherein the one or more processors are configured to:
- (i) receive identification data and detection data of a vehicle travelling along a path from the at least one detection device, wherein the detection data includes distance, speed, and position data measured by the sensor;
- (ii) determine whether the vehicle is travelling along the path in an erroneous direction;
- and
- (iii) provide a warning across a network to a receiving device associated with the vehicle, wherein the warning alerts an operator of the vehicle of travel in the erroneous direction.
A vehicle warning method, comprising:
- (a) positioning at least one detection device comprising a capture device and a sensor along a path of travel;
- (b) receiving, by one or more processors communicatively coupled with the capture device and the sensor, identification data and detection data of a vehicle travelling along the path of travel, wherein the detection data includes distance, speed, and position data measured by the sensor;
- (c) determining, by the one or more processors, whether the vehicle is travelling along the path in an erroneous direction;
- and
- (d) providing, by the one or more processors, a warning across a network to a receiving device associated with the vehicle, wherein the warning alerts an operator of the vehicle of travel in the erroneous direction.
A warning system for detecting a vehicle travelling in an erroneous direction along a path of travel, comprising:
- (a) at least one detection device having instructions stored in a memory and executed by one or more processors communicatively coupled with a capture device and a Mono-Pulse Doppler Radar, wherein the one or more processors are configured to:
- (i) receive identification data and detection data of the vehicle from the at least one detection device, wherein the detection data includes distance, speed, and position data measured by the Mono-Pulse Doppler Radar;
- (ii) determine whether the vehicle is travelling along the path in an erroneous direction;
- (iii) provide a warning across a network to a receiving device associated with the vehicle, wherein the warning alerts an operator of the vehicle of travel in the erroneous direction;
- (iv) through the network, identify one or more potentially affected vehicles along the path of travel based on proximity to the vehicle;
- (v) through the network, provide a second warning to a second receiving device associated with the one or more potentially affected vehicles, wherein the second warning alerts a second operator of the one or more potentially affected vehicles of the vehicle travelling in the erroneous direction;
- and
- (vi) through the network, provide a third warning to a third receiving device associated with one or more traffic, emergency, or law authorities, wherein the third warning alerts the authorities of the vehicle travelling in the erroneous direction.
