Abstract:
1. A detection and warning system for indicating an approaching vehicle, said system including: a transmitter for emitting a wireless signal being mounted on the vehicle; a receiver unit being adapted for detecting wireless signals emitted by said transmitter; a processor being operationally coupled to said receiver unit, said processor being adapted for determining a relative speed of the vehicle from signals received by said receiver unit; at least one display being operationally coupled to said processor for displaying said relative speed determined by said processor; and at least two weight sensors being positioned in a ground surface, each of said weight sensors being operationally coupled to said processor, each of said weight sensors being positioned such that the vehicle will drive over said weight sensors when said receiver unit is receiving the wireless signal, wherein said processor receives a weight detecting signal from said weight sensors when the vehicle drives on said weight sensors such that said processor may verify said relative speed.
