Abstract
An anti-collision system for use by a mobility scooter to reduce collisions between the mobility scooter and objects or ledges is disclosed. The system comprising an input/output communication interface and an anti-collision circuitry configured to: receive a movement signal from the mobility scooter, the movement signal signaling a movement variable and a direction, receive proximity data from one or more proximity sensors through the input/output communication interface, perform a determination as to whether the received proximity data indicates the mobility scooter is within a proximity threshold, wherein the proximity threshold corresponds to the movement variable, and in response to determining the received proximity data indicates the mobility scooter is within the proximity threshold, provide one or more control signals to a controller, the controller in communication with at least a motor or a brake of the mobility scooter.
