Abstract:

A vehicular display includes a three-dimensional representation of a moving host vehicle fixed at a stationary point on the screen, and dynamic representations of objects located within a predetermined distance of the host vehicle in locations proportional and scaled to their respective distances and locations from the host. The display plots the trajectories of these objects and classifies them according to probability of collision, warning the user if collision is imminent. The display also includes a variety of navigational aids, including heading lines, compass indications, and various non-alphanumeric indicators. Both the hardware and software used in the system are of the type which may be provided on small civilian craft, in addition to replacing the more complex and less intuitive displays presently provided in such contexts as commercial aircraft, marine vehicles, and air traffic control systems. The display also may be adapted for use in outer space.
