Abstract:
1. A vehicle safety system disposed on an all terrain vehicle (ATV), the system comprising: (a) a microprocessor; (b) a first sensor operatively connected to the microprocessor, the first sensor functions to detect a degree of deviation of yaw or pitch or roll of the vehicle relative to a control value of 0 degrees, the control value of 0 degrees is a standard Tait-Bryan angle; wherein the microprocessor is configured to receive a first signal from the first sensor, the first signal being the degree of deviation; wherein when the first signal is between 31 and 45 degrees the microprocessor is configured to generate a first output command to a speaker to play a first alarm sound; wherein when the first signal is 46 degrees or more the microprocessor is configured to generate a second output command to the speaker to play a second alarm sound; (c) a metal detector operatively connected to the microprocessor, wherein the metal detector detects the presence of metal underneath the vehicle; (d) a housing mountable on the vehicle, the housing can house at least the microprocessor and the speaker, the housing further comprising a compass, a pitch/yaw display, a metal detector display and a display for displaying the degree of deviation the first sensor detects; and wherein the housing is attached on the vehicle via a mounting component; and (e) a brake operatively coupled to the microprocessor, wherein the microprocessor detects a predetermined yaw and/or pitch, at which point the microprocessor causes the brake to be applied to slow down the ATV.
