Embodiment Construction

[0034] will now refer to figure 1 The block diagram in will describe the present invention in detail. The present invention therefore relates to an alarm system 2 for a vehicle, eg an alarm system 2 for a truck, bus or car. The system comprises at least one viewing device 4 with a viewing surface 6 adapted to present objects 8 in the vicinity of said vehicle. In one embodiment the viewing device takes the form of a rear view mirror mounted on the outside of the vehicle so as to provide the driver with a reflected image of the viewing surface of the mirror. The invention is equally applicable in the case of rearview mirrors installed in vehicles. The viewing surface is preferably a translucent reflective surface.

[0035] In another embodiment, the viewing device takes the form of a VDU, for example of the LCD type.

[0036] The alarm system also includes a processing unit 10 adapted to receive one or more sensor signals 12 from one or more sensors adapted to measure one or...

Abstract

A warning system (2) for a vehicle, which system comprises at least one viewing device (4) with a viewing surface (6) adapted to presenting objects (8) which are in the vicinity of the vehicle, a processing unit (10) adapted to receiving one or more sensor signals (12) from one or more sensors which are adapted to measuring one or more predetermined parameters of objects in the vehicle's vicinity and using said parameters as a basis for determining whether there is an object in a predefined overtaking zone (22). The warning system comprises at least one indicating means (14) situated close to said viewing device (4) and adapted to generating at least one overtaking indication (16) for presentation on or close to the viewing surface (6) of the viewing device in response to a display signal (18) generated by said processing unit (10), and the warning system is adapted to being in either of two overtaking states, comprising a first state and a second state, such that the first state applies when at least one object (8) is in said overtaking zone and the second state applies when there are no objects in said overtaking zone, and said overtaking indication (16) is adapted to changing on the basis of said overtaking states.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an alarm system according to the preambles of the independent claims. In particular the invention relates to warning systems adapted to make overtaking easier for drivers to deal with. [0002] In particular the invention relates to an indication system adapted to, when a freight vehicle is overtaking another vehicle, preferably continuously inform the driver of the freight vehicle when the overtaking is complete and when it is safe to move back into the carriageway in front of the overtaken vehicle. Background technique [0003] The common practice that is convenient to the overtaking vehicle of the truck driver now is when there is space in front of the overtaking vehicle to make the overtaking vehicle return to the roadway, the driver of the overtaking vehicle makes the headlights of the vehicle flash as a signal to the overtaking vehicle. [0004] It may take a long time for one truck to pass another vehicle, especially si...
