Embodiment Construction

[0020] exist figure 1 , reference numeral 1 generally designates a device according to the invention comprising a transmitter 2 of high-frequency directional waves (RF) based on MEMS technology, in particular with a frequency at least higher than 25000 Hz. The actuation of the transmitter 2 is determined by a signal 3 emitted by the electronic control system 4 after receiving an output signal 5 from a vision system 6 which, as already mentioned, may include a Cameras equipped with CCD or CMOS sensors, including CMOS cameras equipped with IR sensors for working in low visibility situations, such as at night. The IR sensor is integrated with an array of emitting LEDs (such as Figure 5 can be seen in a graph showing the variation in intensity of light emitted by the array as a function of wavelength, with a peak set at approximately 900 nm) associated with an illumination (or lamp) system, or alternatively associated with an illumination (or lamp) system equipped with visible l...

Abstract

A system and a method avoids the collision of a vehicle with animals tending to cross the road before the moving vehicle. Such system comprises a visual system directly actuating a RF emitter, or more RF emitters, emitting directional sound waves with a frequency above 25,000 Hz. Sound waves are directed frontally though with a frequency decreasing from the center of the roadway towards the road edge, so as to lead the animal to move towards the road edge.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an on-board device for automobiles to avoid collisions with animals crossing the road suddenly in front of the vehicle. Background technique [0002] Statistics show that from 1984 to 1993, there were 40,000 road accidents in Italy alone, of which 4,000 people were injured and 200 died due to animals, especially abandoned dogs, crossing the road. In the region including the Italian province of Turin alone, in the second half of 2001, there were 157 accidents caused by wild animals, especially wild boars, but also roe deer, foxes, stags and badgers crossing the roads. [0003] Usually in Europe, considering only large mammals, the number of accidents including animals and vehicles is estimated at 507,000, with 100 deaths, 30,000 injured people, and a loss of about 1,000,000 Euros. The corresponding figure for each Italian province is approximately 100 cases per year. [0004] Similar worrying statistics come from the U...
