Patent ID: 7002459

Claim:
A vehicle braking indicator system located in the rear part of a vehicle, comprising an electronic controller for processing actual vehicle speed and engine rpm signals and a segment of lights connected to the electronic controller such that a number of lights are lit up proportional to actual loss of speed of the vehicle whereby the number of lights and the rate at which the lights progressively light up conveys rapid information to other drivers on the actual loss of speed as a result of action on a braking system of the vehicle and sudden slowing of the engine, and whether the braking is, intense or progressive, and whether at the end of braking the vehicle is moving or stationary, wherein the number of lights of said segment which are lit is inversely proportional to vehicle speed, wherein the electronic controller comprises a microprocessor with a vehicle braking indication program that processes the vehicle speed signal when the braking system is activated in such a way that instantaneous speed read is allocated to a number of lights in each part of said segment and accordingly the lights in the two parts light up progressively as the speed of the vehicle changes during braking and the microprocessor is also triggered by a signal from a derivative circuit from the engine RPM signal.
