    Abstract: A multi-spectral vehicular system for providing pre-collision alerts, comprising two pairs of stereoscopic infrared (IR) and visible light (VL) sensors, each of which providing acquired image streams from a mutual field of view, which are synchronized to provide stereoscopic vision; a data fusion module for mutually processing the data streams, to detect objects within the field of view and calculating distances to detected objects; a cellular based communication module for allowing communication between the sensors and mobile phones/Infotainment systems of the vehicle. The module runs a dedicated background application that is adapted to monitor the vicinity of the vehicle to detect other vehicles having a similar system; calculate speed and heading azimuth of each of the other vehicles; and provide alerts to the driver of the vehicle whenever other vehicles having a similar system are in a path of collision with the vehicle, based on the calculation and on the speed of the vehicle.
