Problems solved by technology

One disadvantage of using a reverse position sensor is that sometimes the truck may not actually be moving backwards, even though the signal from the reverse position sensor indicates otherwise
Another disadvantage of using a reverse position sensor is that sometimes the truck can be moving backwards without the transmission being in reverse
One disadvantage of using wheel speed sensors is that sometimes the truck may actually be moving backwards even if the signal from the wheel speed sensors indicates otherwise

Embodiment Construction

[0008] refer to figure 1 , device 10 is provided for use in a vehicle such as a truck. The device 10 is constructed according to one embodiment.

[0009] The image capture device 12 captures image data representing objects in front of the vehicle. Image capture device 12 may be mounted on the dashboard of the vehicle. Other mounting positions for the image capture device 12 are also possible. For example, image capture device 12 may comprise a forward looking camera, such as the one from Bendix Commercial Vehicle Systems, LLC of Elyria, Ohio. A forward-looking camera is available in the Lane Departure Warning System. Camera 12 may comprise any conventional type of high speed digital video camera that captures image data in real time.

[0010] Radar device 16 captures radar data representative of objects in front of the vehicle. The radar device 16 may be mounted in the front bumper area or in the hood area of ​​the vehicle. Other installation positions of the radar dev...

Abstract

A rearward movement indicating device is provided for a vehicle having a warning device. The rearward movement indicating device comprises an image capture device arranged to capture image data representing objects in the vicinity of the vehicle. The rearward movement indicating device also includes an electronic controller arranged to process the captured image data to provide a signal indicative of the vehicle's backward movement.

Description

technical field [0001] The present application relates to vehicles moving backwards, and in particular to rearward movement indicating devices for vehicles such as trucks. Background technique [0002] When the truck driver wants to back the truck, the driver shifts the truck's transmission into reverse. In some trucks, a position sensor is operatively coupled to the transmission to detect when the transmission is in reverse. The reverse position sensor provides a signal when it detects that the transmission is in reverse. One disadvantage of using a reverse position sensor is that sometimes the truck may not actually be backing up, even though the signal from the reverse position sensor indicates otherwise. Another disadvantage of using a reverse position sensor is that sometimes the truck can be moving backwards without the transmission being in reverse. Therefore, the reverse position sensor can sometimes provide a false indication that the truck is moving backwards or...
