Abstract

A vehicle obstacle warning system (100) uses at least two sensor technologies in order to accurately and robustly detect and qualify obstacles within a predetermined detection zone. By using a combination of motion and presence sensors (104, 106) coupled with ranging information, the unique detection and accuracy traits of each detection technology can be appropriately applied, to provide effective obstacle detection while minimizing false alarms. The sensor technologies are complementary in their detection capabilities so that each has a unique capability that allows it to detect characteristics about the intended objects that the other technology cannot.
