The embodiments described herein include an object detection system and method for identifying objects within an area. In one embodiment, the objection detection system may formulate an outline of a detected object and generate a three-dimensional shape or image of the object. Object information may be used to determine and communicate the position, range, and bearing of the object.

Object detection system and method

An electronic method for parametric modeling of a conceptual vehicle design. The method includes (a) receiving dimensional input including one or more vehicle level parameters and one or more component level parameters; (b) receiving geometrical input including one or more non-dimensional design inputs; and (c) generating a parametric concept model based on dimensional input and the geometrical input.

Parametric modeling method and system for conceptual vehicle design

A computer-implemented method for rapidly designing a vehicle package is disclosed. The method receives virtual vehicle package model data, converts the data into mechanical vehicle package model data and transmits the data to a mechanical vehicle package model system. A method is also disclosed for adjusting the mechanical model, converting the adjustment into data readable by a computer aided design system and transmitting the data to the computer aided design system for generating or modifying the virtual vehicle package. A system for designing a vehicle package is disclosed having a mechanical vehicle package model, a computer aided design system, a translator embodied in a computer system in communication with the computer aided design system and a mechanical vehicle package model in communication with the translator.
