Abstract
This disclosure describes an in-motion proximity guidance system that may alert a mobile device user of a likelihood that a projected pathway of an in-motion mobile device will intersect with a projected pathway of another in-motion mobile device or a location of a stationary object. The in-motion proximity guidance may further trigger visual and/or audible alerts to indicate an imminent collision. These alerts may be emitted from the in-motion mobile devices or stationary sensor devices physically coupled to stationary objects. Further, the in-motion proximity guidance system may transmit a corrective action to a collision avoidance system of a vehicle that is communicatively coupled to a mobile device in order to reduce a likelihood of an imminent collision. The in-motion proximity guidance system may also interact with a smart traffic light system, such that a sequence of traffic light indications may be altered to avoid an imminent collision between vehicles.
