Abstract
When riding a motorcycle, a vehicle in the rider's blind spot poses a hazard. A fixed range blind spot detector may not properly detect vehicles in adjacent lanes if the motorcycle is at one side or other of the lane that it is travelling in. A lane position sensor detects the position of the motorcycle with respect to the centerline of the lane in which it is travelling. Depending on the sideways position of the motorcycle within its lane, the widths of the detection zones of the blind spot detector are adjusted so that between them they cover a majority of the width of each adjacent lane.
