Patent ID: 7859391

Claim:
An automated leading-vehicle message warning system for notifying a trailing vehicle of an unsafe traveling condition, said automated leading-vehicle message warning system comprising: a vehicle speedometer sensor for generating and transmitting true and false first input signals indicating whether a real-time traveling speed of the leading-vehicle is above or below a maximum safe traveling speed respectively; a vehicle brake system sensor for generating and transmitting true and false second input signals indicating whether the leading vehicle is decelerating and accelerating respectively; means for determining whether a real-time traveling condition between the leading and trailing vehicles is a safe traveling condition by detecting whether the trailing vehicle is traveling at a minimum safe linear distance directly behind the leading vehicle upon receipt of said true first and second input signals; and a plurality of transducers housed at the leading vehicle and being selectively toggled to respective activate modes such that each of said transducers generates and transmits a unique warning signal respectively.
