Laser Device For Guiding A Vehicle
US Patent:
2004011, Jun 17, 2004
Filed:
Dec 17, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/320476
Inventors:
Ronald Newcomer - Fayetteville PA, US
International Classification:
G01C015/00
US Classification:
033/286000
Abstract:
A method and system for guiding a vehicle through a tunnel or other space. A linear beam of light is projected along a certain path through the space. As the vehicle travels into the space, the linear beam is shined upon the vehicle. Visually aligning an indicator on the vehicle with the linear beam of light indicates to the driver that the vehicle is traveling directly down the center of the path. The alignment occurs by the driver making manual adjustments of the vehicle's direction by turning wheels of the vehicle.

US Patent:
6853313, Feb 8, 2005
Filed:
Dec 17, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/320431
Inventors:
Ronald E. Newcomer - Fayetteville PA, US
International Classification:
G08G001/14
US Classification:
3409322, 340555, 340556, 340557, 180199, 2504911, 399400
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for guiding a vehicle into an optimal position within a parking space. A first linear ray of light is projected along the centerline of a parking space. A second linear ray of light is projected at an angle to and intersecting the first linear ray within the parking space. The first linear ray of light guides the driver while moving into and through the space when the driver aligns an indicator on the vehicle with the first linear ray of light. As the driver nears the optimal position, the second linear ray of light will move towards the indicator. When the indicator coincides with the intersection of the first and second linear rays of light, the vehicle is in the optimal position.
