  • Method and assembly for object detection by a vehicle
    Patent number: 5777563
    Abstract: An object detection assembly and method use at least one sensor to detect a signal indicating the presence and location of an object relative to an automotive vehicle. A receiver receives a location signal created by a transmitter. A control unit receives the location signal and identifies the presence and degree of closeness of the object by activating audible and visual indicators. The control unit operates a parameter definer to identify the spatial parameters within which a warning of the existence of the object is to be activated. The control unit receives signals of vehicle speed and transmission state to determine the spatial parameters.
