Abstract
In order to achieve an aspect of the present invention, a rear vehicle detecting apparatus of a vehicle include an alarm unit, a temperature detecting section, a reference temperature data generating section, a comparing section, and a drive section. The temperature detecting section detects a first temperature data based on heat radiated from another vehicle which exists behind the vehicle. The reference temperature data generating section generates a second temperature data as a reference. The comparing section compares the first temperature data and the second temperature data. The driving section drives the alarm unit based on the comparing result by the comparing section.
Claims22
A rear vehicle detecting apparatus of a vehicle comprising:
- an alarm unit;
- a temperature detecting section detecting a first temperature data based on heat radiated from another vehicle which exists behind said vehicle;
- a reference temperature data generating section generating a second temperature data as a reference, said second temperature based on at least one environmental factor;
- a comparing section comparing said first temperature data and said second temperature data;
- and
- a drive section driving said alarm unit based on the comparing result by said comparing section.
A vehicle having a rear vehicle detecting apparatus which comprises:
- a heat detecting section provided in a rear portion of said vehicle to detect heat radiated from another vehicle and to compare said detected heat to a reference temperature based on at least one environmental factor;
- and
- an alarm unit provided to output an alarm corresponding to the detecting result by said heat detecting section.
