Abstract: The invention is directed to a system which provides an audible or visual indication to a motor vehicle operator when another vehicle approaches the rear end of his vehicle in an adjacent lane or when a potentially interferring object is located behind the vehicle when backing up. The system covers the blind spots which are present on the right and left sides of the vehicle because of the inherent inadequacies of rearview mirrors and also the invisible area at the rear of the vehicle. A range measuring doppler radar system has its antenna positioned to cover the area which lies on the two sides and behind a vehicle and which normally is within the well known blind spot. The radar system is squarewave modulated to sequentially produce two frequencies F1 and F2. Reflected signals from a moving target produce two doppler signals fd1 and fd2. The comparison of the relevant phases of the two doppler frequencies gives range information. The leading and lagging relationship of the doppler signals is indicative of whether the target is closing or opening with respect to the radar carrying base vehicle. The system is, therefore, readily made responsive to closing targets or slowly opening targets falling within a dangerously close range as the vehicle proceeds along a roadway. Fixed objects such as poles and signs along the road are also prevented from giving a warning signal by the phase information. When the vehicle is backing up, objects or persons present behind the vehicle are detected and a warning given.

Abstract: AN ADAPTIVE BRAKING SYSTEM FOR A VEHICLE IN WHICH DOPPLER RADAR DEVICES ARE USED TO MEASURE WHEEL SPEEDS AND VEHICLE SPEED AND PROVIDE ELECTRICAL SIGNALS PROPORTIONAL THERETO. THESE SIGNALS ARE PROCESSES AND COMBINED TO PROVIDE FURTHER SIGNALS PROPORTIONAL TO WHEEL SLIP, RATE OF CHANGE OF WHEEL SLIP AND VEHICLE ACCELERATION. A SYSTEM FOR DETECTING PEAKS OF VEHICLE ACCELERATION AND TRANSMITTING A SIGNAL INDICATING THE OCCURENCE OF THE SUCH A PEAK MAY ALSO BY INCLUDED. THESE SEVERAL SIGNALS ARE TRANSMITTED TO A PROGRAMMER AND/OR LOGIC ELEMENT. OUTPUTS FROM THE PROGRAMMER AND/OR LOGIC ELEMENT ARE RECEIVED BY BRAKE PRESSURE MODULATORS TO VARY THE PRESSURE APPLIED BY THE OPERATOR THEREBY MAINTAINING MAXIMUM BRAKING TORQUE. A LIMITER CAN BE INCORPORATED TO PREVENT SLIP VALUES BETWEEN THE TIRE AND ROAD SURFACE FROM EXCEEDING SOME PREDETERMINED MAXIMUM.
