Abstract:
An electromagnetic (EM) signal detection and position broadcasting system comprising:a plurality of integrated units, each integrated unit mounted in a vehicle of a first party and comprising; a global positioning system (GPS) receiver adapted to continuously output a changing determined position; a microprocessor comprising storage connected to the GPS receiver and adapted to receive the changing determined position; an EM signal detector connected to the microprocessor adapted to provide a notification to the microprocessor when a non-reflected EM signal from a third party is received; the microprocessor further comprising instructions stored in the storage adapted to designate an EM signal position calculated from the changing determined position when the notification is received and adapted to format a transmitted EM signal position into a form transmittable by a transceiver; and a transceiver connected to the microprocessor adapted to broadcast the EM signal position directly to another one of said plurality of integrated units mounted in a vehicle of a second party; wherein said EM signal is selected from the group consisting of police traffic RADAR, police traffic LADAR, emergency vehicle RADAR, emergency vehicle LADAR, road traffic hazard RADAR and road traffic hazard LADAR.
