Abstract: A vehicle-mounted display system for enhancing a driver's forward viewability, which comprises a forwardly directed camera mounted within an interior of the vehicle, for imaging a forwardly directed expected field of view (EFOV) of the driver; an image generator; and a processing unit in data communication with both the forwardly directed camera and the image generator. The processing unit is operable to monitor a parameter indicative of a driver's forward viewability through a front windshield of a road over which the vehicle advances during a transportation operation and to command the image generator to generate when a value of the monitored parameter deviates from a predetermined parameter range, within the vehicle interior, an EFOV-related image which is visible to the driver and is based on image data received from the forwardly directed camera, to ensure the driver's forward viewability during the course of a transportation operation.

Abstract: A running vehicle alerting system, comprising one or more forwardly directed optical sensors mounted on a same vehicle which are configured to capture road related images; an image processing unit configured to analyze the captured road-related images in real time and to determine, based on the analyzed images, whether the vehicle on which the one or more optical sensors are mounted is to be considered as a running vehicle that is spaced from a traffic light or a traffic sign by a distance shorter than a threshold safe braking distance and that is liable to endanger other vehicles; and an alert signal generating unit responsive to the determination of the vehicle as a running vehicle, for generating a collision avoiding alert signal.

Abstract: Method for the monitoring of an environment, by procuring, adjourning and storing in a memory, files representing the background space. Programs for processing data obtained from the observation of objects are defined and stored in a memory, for identifying the objects and for determining whether they are dangerous. Parameters, according to which the observation of the controlled space is effected, are determined and stored. Photographic observation of the controlled space or sections thereof, is performed according to the aforesaid observation parameters. The digital data representing these photographs are processed to determine whether possible dangerous objects have been detected, and if so, these objects are classified according to the stored danger parameters.
