DESCRIZIONE
In some examples, a collision awareness system for a vehicle includes a camera configured to mount on a protrusion of the vehicle and capture an image and a wireless transmitter configured to mount on the protrusion of the vehicle. The collision awareness system includes processing circuitry configured to mount on the protrusion of the vehicle, receive the image from the camera, and determine a distance between a point on the vehicle and an object based on the image. The processing circuitry is also configured to determine whether the distance between the point on the vehicle and the object is less than a threshold level. The processing circuitry is further configured to cause the wireless transmitter to transmit an alert to a receiver mounted on the vehicle in response to determining that the distance between the point on the vehicle and the object is less than the threshold level.
