Procedure for reducing the risk of rear-end collisions in road traffic using a deceleration warning and deceleration warning system

摘要

A deceleration warning device and a method for its control serve to reduce the risk of rear-end collisions in road traffic or in other movement processes. In order to avoid or to reduce the disadvantages of conventional brake lights and flashing hazard warning systems, the intensity of warning given by the deceleration warning device of a vehicle travelling ahead is dependent on the size of the risk value G which originates from this vehicle and can be effective for subsequent vehicles.
