Abstract:

A deceleration magnitude detecting and signaling device for alerting a driver of a following vehicle of the occurrence and magnitude of deceleration of a lead vehicle. A deceleration sensor unit, in circuit between a series of lamp assemblies and a power supply, causes said lamp assemblies to incrementally illuminate in response to increases in deceleration. A signaling unit, affixed to the rear of the lead vehicle, comprises a plurality of light panels which are illuminated by the lamp assemblies in response to increases in deceleration. An infra-red receiver mounted in the following vehicle is capable, upon receiving a signal from an infra-red transmitter mounted upon the lead vehicle, of signaling an engine management override system which is mounted in the following vehicle to automatically decelerate said following vehicle in response to sudden deceleration of the lead vehicle.
