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 3):
The vehicle safety lighting system of  claim 1 , wherein:\n the plurality of axes further includes a third axis, the third axis being normal to the first axis and normal to the second axis, the plurality of measurements further includes a third axis acceleration measurement, and the reference frame adjustment process is further configured to generate, based at least in part on the first axis acceleration measurement, the second axis acceleration measurement, and the third axis acceleration measurement, a filtered third axis acceleration measurement, the filtered third axis acceleration measurement being aligned with a direction of gravity.
