Abstract:
    A collision detection and path prediction system ( 10 ) adapted for use with a traveling host vehicle ( 12 ) having an operator, includes a locator device ( 20 ) configured to determine the current position coordinates, and pluralities of trail and immediate dynamic path coordinates of the vehicle ( 12 ) and a communicatively coupled traveling remote vehicle ( 16 ). The system further includes a preferred controller ( 36 ) configured to predict a collision between the two vehicles ( 12, 16 ) from the coordinates, and determine a plurality of projected path coordinates for the host vehicle ( 12 ) relative to the remote vehicle ( 16 ) trail coordinates.
