Abstract
A vehicle control system is disclosed that includes a forward-facing signal sensor operable to detect transmitted data signals reflecting a presence, relative distance and relative location of a first forward obstruction in front of a vehicle, an on-board vehicle status sensor configured to generate a status signal reflecting the speed of the vehicle, a processor to receive the transmitted data signals the forward obstruction and (2) the status sensor signals and (3) a relay signal receiver adapted to receive a signal from the forward obstruction and originating from a source remote from the forward obstruction, and a signal transmitter adapted to transmit information to a following vehicle, wherein the information includes the status signal and information from said forward facing signal sensor and the relay signal and the processor creates a vehicle control signal in response to a collision avoidance algorithm run by the processor that uses data from said forward facing signal detectors, the status signal and the relay signal in the event that said algorithm determines that a collision is imminent.
