Abstract:
Methods and systems for vehicle safety lighting are disclosed, including a system having a multi-axis accelerometer that detects acceleration of the vehicle along a first axis and a second axis normal to the first axis, and outputs a corresponding first axis acceleration measurement and a second axis acceleration measurement. A controller is coupled to the multi-axis accelerometer, and to an array of light emitter elements (LELs). The controller is configured to determine a vehicle deceleration, based at least in part on a combination of the first axis acceleration measurement and second axis acceleration measurement, and to detect the vehicle deceleration exceeding a brake light threshold and, based at least in part on the detection, output a deceleration light signal to the array of LELs. Digital filtering prevents operation of the safety lighting by accelerometer outputs unrelated to axial deceleration, such as will occur upon encountering a hill, or, in the case of a motorcycle or the like, leaning into a turn.

Claim (Index 5):
The vehicle safety lighting system of  claim 1 , wherein the controller is further configured to\n detect, based at least in part a combination of the second axis acceleration measurement, the third axis measurement, a leaning of the vehicle being greater than a vehicle lean predicament threshold; and upon detecting the leaning of the vehicle being greater than the vehicle lean predicament, to activate LELs from among the LEL array according to a hazard lighting configuration.
