AI Technical Summary
Technical Problem
Existing brake lights do not provide information on the intensity of braking, leading to unexpected braking by following vehicles and increased collision risks.
Method used
Adapting the central brake light to include a series of LEDs that illuminate sequentially based on braking intensity, triggered by pressure-sensitive switches or sensors, and integrating an automatic hazard light activation for maximum intensity braking.
Benefits of technology
Enhances safety by allowing drivers to adjust their braking based on the intensity of the vehicle ahead, reducing collisions and associated injuries and costs.

Abstract
The invention consists of adapting the third central brake light of a vehicle to signal the intensity of the vehicle's braking to following vehicles. The third central brake light according to the invention is characterized in that it is divided into several groups of LEDs that illuminate sequentially according to the intensity of the vehicle's braking. This device is coupled with an additional warning signal that is triggered during sudden braking and is characterized in that the vehicle's hazard lights are then automatically activated, without manual intervention from the driver. The objective of this invention is to improve road user safety by providing more precise and complete information on vehicle braking. It thus allows drivers to assess the intensity of the braking of the vehicle in front and adjust their own braking accordingly. Figure for the abstract: [FIG 1]
