An apparatus and method in a tractor-trailer type vehicle for insuring the ability to change lanes without colliding with other vehicles traveling in lanes adjacent the lanes adjacent the lane in which the vehicle is traveling. The side rear view mirror is motorized to encompass fields of view that include both adjacent and non-adjacent lanes without attention on the part of the operator: The minor is rotated at a minimum rate of speed to prevent confusion on the part of the operator during travel of the mirror between the two positions. The normal home position setpoint and the outer or scanned position setpoint are adjustable. The activation switch may be on the gear shift lever, the turn signal, or the control box for the motor.

L'invention concerne un système et un procédé permettant, à bord d'un véhicule de type semi-remorque, de s'assurer que l'on peut changer de voie de circulation sans risquer de collision avec les autres véhicules roulant dans les voies adjacentes à celle du véhicule considéré. Le rétroviseur extérieur est équipé d'un moteur, ce qui donne un champ de vision à la fois dans les voies adjacentes et non adjacentes sans que le conducteur ait à forcer son attention. Le rétroviseur tourne à une vitesse minimum pour éviter toute confusion de la part du conducteur pendant le déplacement du rétroviseur entre les deux positions. Le point de réglage de position initiale normale et le point de réglage correspondant au champ de vision balayé sont ajustables. L'actionneur peut être sur le levier de vitesse, le clignotant ou la boîte de commutation du moteur.
