A system that enables parking lights to be used as brake lights.

Abstract

This invention relates to a system (1) that detects whether the brake warning lights located at the rear of the vehicle and which illuminate as a warning when the vehicle brakes are faulty, and in case the brake warning light is faulty, increases the brightness of the parking lights in the vehicle by PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation) and uses them as brake warning lights.

Description

1 TARIFF USING PARKING LIGHTS AS BRAKE LIGHTS A SYSTEM THAT PROVIDES Technical Area 5 This invention involves a device positioned at the rear of a passenger vehicle that activates when the vehicle brakes. During this time, it is determined whether the brake warning lights that are illuminated for warning purposes are faulty. By checking if the brake warning light is faulty, the parking lights in the vehicle can be removed. 10 of the lamps' PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation) its brightness can be increased using this method and it can be used as a brake warning light. It is related to a system that provides. Previous Technique Especially in passenger vehicles, when a vehicle slows down or stops, the vehicle behind it... Brake lights, which signal to drivers, are very important for road safety. Vehicle When the brake lights malfunction, drivers behind notice that the vehicle is braking. a serious safety issue that could lead to accidents by making it difficult to do so This is the situation. In current systems, a brake light malfunction usually only occurs when indicator 20 is displayed. The driver is notified via the control panel, but there is no active backup system in place. Also, according to current regulations, brake lights are brighter than parking lights. Therefore, parking lights should be positioned directly instead of brake lights. It is not possible to use it. Therefore, considering the studies and shortcomings in the current technique... When this is done, the brightness of the parking lights is increased, activating the brake warning light. It appears that a system is needed that will enable its use in this way. UK patent number GB1405632, which is included in the prior art, 30 The document mentions a signaling system. The patent in question... 2 The invention described in the document is a signaling system used in vehicles. It is related to and includes a flashing light system for turn signals or emergency signals. It includes the main lighting system. The flashing system consists of a flashing unit, a relay, and It consists of turn signal lamps. The relay is part of the main lighting system. Depending on the situation, some flashing lamps can have resistors in series with them. It can accommodate them. Each pair of resistors is connected in parallel with a capacitor. During night driving, when the headlights or parking lights are switched on, a switch is turned off. This activates the relay, causing its normally closed contacts to open. In this situation, Current paths for rear turn signals are via resistors and capacitors. is provided. The current paths of the front turn signal lamps are to the turn signal switch and turn signal 10. It remains directly connected to the generator. By charging the capacitors, Simulate opening current fluctuations when relay contacts are open. This prevents the decreasing intensity from affecting the flash frequency. Brief Description of the Invention 15 The purpose of this invention is to create a device located at the rear of passenger vehicles that activates the vehicle brakes. during the process, whether the warning brake lights that come on are faulty. If the brake warning light is found to be faulty, the parking lights in the vehicle can be checked. By increasing the brightness of the lamps using the PWM method, they can be used as brake warning lights. The goal is to create a system that enables its use. Detailed Description of the Invention The "Parking Lights Brake 25" project was carried out to achieve the purpose of this invention. A system that enables its use as a lamp is shown in the attached image. these shapes; Figure 1 shows a schematic view of the system that is the subject of the invention. 3 The parts shown in the figures are individually numbered, and these numbers...
