ABSTRACT:
A vehicle environment monitoring system is capable of monitoring the nearly entire region around a vehicle on which the system is installed, and is protected from staining or damaging. The system includes an optical radar apparatus comprising a light transmitter for generating and irradiating a beam of light; a scanner with a reflective mirror rotatably disposed on a support shaft in an inclined manner for scanning the light beam in the surroundings of the vehicle; and a light receiver for receiving the light beam reflected from an object. The apparatus is disposed on the ceiling inside or outside the subject vehicle, or on a bumper at a front or rear corner of the vehicle.
