Abstract:
Various systems and methods for implementing an anti-collision mechanism are described herein. A system for a lead vehicle to provide a visible light communication (VLC) message to a trailing vehicle behind the lead vehicle includes a vehicle controller subsystem of the lead vehicle, to: receive from a sensor array interface, sensor data from a forward-facing sensor incorporated into the lead vehicle; determine, using a processor, from the sensor data that a hazard exists; initiate the application of brakes with a braking force; and initiate, via a light controller, a VLC message to the trailing vehicle, the VLC message including the braking force.

Claim (Index 22):
At least one non-transitory machine-readable medium including instructions for a lead vehicle to provide a visible light communication (VLC) message to a trailing vehicle behind the lead vehicle, the instructions when executed by a machine, cause the machine to perform operations comprising:\n receiving from a sensor array interface, sensor data from a forward-facing sensor incorporated into the lead vehicle; determining, using a processor, from the sensor data that a hazard exists; initiating the application of brakes with a braking force; and initiating, via a light controller, a VLC message to the trailing vehicle, the VLC message including the braking force, wherein the braking force represents the force applied to a brake pedal of the lead vehicle.
