Claim:
1. A vehicle indicator system, comprising: a proximity sensor provided on a base vehicle to measure a distance of an adjacent vehicle from the base vehicle; a braking sensor provided on the base vehicle to measure an applied braking force; a first indicator provided on the base vehicle at a first position to emit first indicator signal displayed towards the adjacent vehicle, which indicator signal can be ascertained by an operator of the adjacent vehicle, wherein an intensity of the indicator signal is inversely proportional to a distance of the adjacent vehicle from the base vehicle; a second indicator provided on the base vehicle at a second position to emit a second indicator signal displayed towards the adjacent vehicle, which indicator signal can be ascertained by an operator of the adjacent vehicle, wherein the indicator includes a plurality of lights configured to be illuminated by the indicator signal, and wherein an amount of lights illuminated is proportional to the applied braking pressure; and circuitry provided at the base vehicle and configured to receive an input signal from the proximity sensor and the braking sensor to provide an output signal to the first and second indicator for generating the first and second indicator signals.
