Abstract:
The present invention provides a method and an apparatus for dynamically controlling the luminance of a tail light of a vehicle tail lamp in response to a change in the difference of speed between a vehicle and a vehicle therebehind, and for preventing a collision between the traveling vehicles. In addition, the apparatus comprises: a tail light operating unit, which slowly or rapidly becomes brighter up to a predetermined brightness as the speed difference between the vehicle and the vehicle behind gradually becomes larger, and slowly or rapidly becomes darker down to a predetermined brightness as the speed difference between the vehicle and the vehicle behind gradually becomes smaller; a speed sensing unit for measuring the speed of the vehicle; a rear speed sensing unit for measuring the speed of the vehicle therebehind; and a control unit for automatically adjusting the luminance of the tail light by controlling the tail light operating unit when the vehicle therebehind is traveling faster than the vehicle.

Claim (Index 1):
A method of automatically adjusting luminance of a tail light on a rear side of a vehicle, the method comprising the steps of:\n determining whether a speed of a following vehicle is higher than that of the vehicle; and driving the tail light, when the speed of the following vehicle is higher than that of the vehicle, to gradually or rapidly increase the luminance of the tail light on the rear side of the vehicle to a predetermined brightness as a difference of speed increases, and to gradually or rapidly decrease the luminance to a predetermined brightness as the difference of speed decreases, in response to a change in the difference of speed between the vehicle and the following vehicle.
