• Inner zone representing the highest risk area.
• Outer zones representing lower risk areas, the further from the LO, the lower the risk.
• Zones showing as, for example, dashed circles on a graphical display device.
• Zones being configurable in number and radius from the LO.
• Zones are visible on an In-Vehicle PC display with SafeDetect.
• Zones are not visible on a Warning Device (deprecated device).
WASP
