(54) Deceleration visual signaling system


(57) The deceleration visual signaling system is located in the technical field of the signaling systems installed in the vehicles. In the present technical solution such a signaling is activated only if it is caused by the use of the braking system. The proposed device expands the cases of signaling, including all possible events of deceleration, whichever the cause is. Besides it can use an independent system to detect the deceleration of a vehicle, computes the other kinematics variables, which are useful for system operations, and in case of deceleration activates a visual signaling, that can vary in terms of light intensity, flashing frequency and color, according to the danger level, which is related to the intensities of deceleration and the other kinematics variables of the vehicle. The device can be used in the automobile and transport industries, whereas it is useful to extend the warning signaling to improve safety.
