Abstract:
This invention relates in general to the field of safety devices, and more particularly, but not by way of limitation, to systems and methods for providing advanced warning and risk evasion when hazardous conditions exist. In one embodiment, a vicinity monitoring unit is provided for monitoring, for example, oncoming traffic near a construction zone. In some embodiments, the vicinity monitoring unit may be mounted onto a construction vehicle to monitor nearby traffic and send a warning signal if hazardous conditions exist. In some embodiments, personnel tracking units may be worn by construction workers and the personnel tracking units may be in communication with the vicinity monitoring unit. In some embodiments, a base station is provided for monitoring activities taking place in or near a construction site including monitoring the locations of various personnel and vehicles within the construction site.

Claim (Index 6):
An advanced warning and risk evasion system comprising:\n a sensor comprising a transmitter and a receiver for detecting objects in the sensor's field of view and determining a speed and position of each of the detected objects; a processor communicatively connected to the sensor, the processor being configured to:\n record the speed and the position of the detected objects over time; \n estimate traffic patterns, including boundaries of a traffic area, based at least in part on the recorded data; \n identify a protected area where the detected objects are not allowed to enter; \n determine a current position of a target object relative to the protected area; \n compute a trajectory of the target object relative to the protected area; and \n determine that a hazardous situation exists when the trajectory of the target object indicates that the target object has deviated from the traffic patterns and entrance into the protected area is imminent; and \n a warning device coupled to the processor and configured to transmit a warning signal upon the determination that the hazardous situation exists.
