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 10):
The vehicle safety lighting system of  claim 9 , wherein the reference frame adjustment process is further configured to\n apply a noise filter process to the first axis acceleration samples, to the second axis acceleration samples, and to the third axis acceleration samples and generate, respectively, corresponding noise filtered first axis acceleration samples, noise filtered second axis acceleration samples, and noise filtered third axis acceleration samples, and generate the filtered first axis acceleration samples, filtered second axis acceleration samples, and filtered third axis acceleration samples by applying the reference axis rotation filter to the noise filtered first axis acceleration samples, the noise filtered second axis acceleration samples, and the noise filtered third axis acceleration samples and outputting, respectively, the filtered first axis acceleration samples, the filtered second axis acceleration samples, and the filtered third axis acceleration samples.
