COLLISION ALERT DEVICE AND COLLISION ALERT METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240304088 titled 'COLLISION ALERT DEVICE AND COLLISION ALERT METHOD
The abstract describes a collision alert device that calculates the time-to-collision between moving objects and triggers an alert if the time-to-collision is below a certain threshold.
- Calculation part repeatedly computes the time-to-collision by dividing the distance between moving objects by their relative velocity.
- Output part alerts one of the moving objects when the time-to-collision is equal to or less than a predetermined threshold.
- Relative velocity is the centripetal relative velocity of the moving objects, calculated from their centripetal velocities along a line segment connecting their positions.
- Time-to-collision is the centripetal time-to-collision obtained by dividing the distance between the moving objects by the centripetal relative velocity.
Potential Applications: - Automotive collision avoidance systems - Aircraft collision warning systems - Maritime collision prevention technology
Problems Solved: - Reducing the risk of collisions between moving objects - Enhancing safety in transportation and navigation
Benefits: - Early detection and alerting of potential collisions - Improved safety for passengers and cargo - Prevention of accidents and property damage
Commercial Applications: Title: "Advanced Collision Alert Systems for Transportation Safety" This technology can be utilized in the automotive, aviation, and maritime industries to enhance safety measures and prevent collisions, potentially saving lives and reducing financial losses due to accidents.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the device calculate the time-to-collision between moving objects? - The device calculates the time-to-collision by dividing the distance between moving objects by their relative velocity. 2. What are the potential applications of this collision alert technology? - The technology can be applied in automotive, aviation, and maritime industries to prevent collisions and enhance safety measures.
Original Abstract Submitted
a collision alert device includes a calculation part repeatedly calculating, at a prescribed time interval, a time-to-collision obtained by dividing a distance between moving objects by a relative velocity of two moving objects, the distance between moving objects being a distance between the two moving objects, and an output part outputting an alert in at least one of the two moving objects as a condition of the time-to-collision being equal to or less than a predetermined threshold, the relative velocity is a centripetal relative velocity of a moving velocity of each of the two moving objects, the centripetal relative velocity being calculated from a centripetal velocity that is a component along a line segment connecting a position of each of the two moving objects, and the time-to-collision is a centripetal time-to-collision obtained by dividing a distance between the two moving objects by the centripetal relative velocity.
