The RVS-116-W Vehicle Reversing Aid is an automatic back up alert system
that warns drivers of potential obstacles while backing up their vehicle. Using
ultrasonic echo location sonar technology the system is activated when the
driver engages reverse gear. A 4 zone variable audio pulse alerts the driver of
potential obstacles. The audio pulse intensity increases and the audio frequen-
cy changes as the vehicle backs closer to the obstacle. As with all sensing sys-
tems there are blind areas in the sensing patterns due to the cone or triangular
nature in the way the sonar pulse is emitted. Whenever an object moves from a
covered area and into one of these blind areas a special warning alert message
and a very loud tone will be transmitted twice or until the operator takes the
vehicle out of reverse. This is especially helpful for detecting moving objects
such as a pedestrian, an animal, a forklift or other moving vehicles that may be
behind your vehicle and in harms way.
