Brake light system employs stroboscope effect to warn other road users during emergency braking

摘要

The brake light system gives road users driving behind a vehicle with the inventive brake lights an idea of how hard the driver in front is braking. There are three levels. The brake light lights up normal during normal braking. In case of harder brake pressure the brake light flashes. During emergency braking the brake light flashes faster like a stroboscope and stop after a delay of 1 to 5 seconds. The emergency brake light with flashing stroboscope also begins to flash when anti-lock brake system (ABS) is engaged.
