Potential Obstacles (Terminator*)

Any object that possesses the potential of being sensed and struck and thus also possesses physical attributes. Potential Obstacles include roadside obstructions, other vehicles, pedestrians, infrastructure elements or any other element which is in a potential path of the vehicle. This terminator represents the physical obstacles which possess properties which enable detection using sensory functions included as part of the ITS architecture. These physical attributes are represented as a data input to the system.
