Brake light module providing cumulative and symmetrical LED activation based on vehicle deceleration acceleration.

Abstract

The invention relates to an LED brake light module that visually displays the braking intensity based on the measurement data of the negative acceleration, which represents the deceleration in the direction of the vehicle's movement. The module comprises an LED lighting module (1) with multiple lighting zones located on opposite sides of the horizontal center reference (HMR) and a control unit (9) that controls the LED lamps in the lighting zones. The control unit (9) first activates the LED lamps in the lighting zone closest to the horizontal center reference (HMR) as the magnitude of the negative acceleration increases, then activates the LED lamps in the lighting zones further away from the horizontal center reference (HMR) in sequence, keeping the LED lamps in the previously activated lighting zone active.Thus, the active lighting area expands cumulatively and symmetrically from the horizontal central reference (YOR) of the LED lighting module (1) to its two outer ends, depending on the magnitude of the negative acceleration.

1 TARIFF Brake system that provides cumulative and symmetrical LED activation depending on vehicle deceleration acceleration. Lamp Module Technical Area The invention reduces the braking force of motor vehicles to 5 times that of drivers approaching from behind. for accurate and rapid data transfer via an accelerometer integrated into the vehicle.

LED (Light Emitting Diode) lighting system with LEDs An improved dynamic brake that enables the lights to be activated gradually. It is related to the lamp module. 10 Previous Technique Ensuring safe driving in motor vehicles and reducing rear-end collision accidents. Brake light systems, used to prevent accidents, are now commonly switched on / off. It operates based on this principle. In these systems, the driver does not need to press any brake pedal. If pressed forcefully, a brake pedal mechanically or magnetically connected to the brake pedal will activate. The switch is triggered, and in response to this trigger signal, the brake lights maintain a constant brightness. It is lit at that level. In some more advanced systems, it detects braking pressure. Hydraulic pressure sensors are used, and these sensors monitor the brake fluid line of the vehicle. It produces a signal indicating the presence of braking by measuring pressure changes. However, Both approaches are based solely on a binary question of whether or not braking action has occurred. It provides information about the severity, magnitude, or instantaneous amount of braking or vehicle deceleration. It cannot transmit any quantitative data. For example, a light touch from the driver only conveys speed. a situation where a very small force is applied to the brake pedal in order to cut off the brakes, or a sudden obstacle. Between the situations where it applies maximum braking force and the current brake light. The systems are unable to make any visual distinction; in both cases, the brake lights are 25. It illuminates at the same constant brightness. This situation allows the driver behind to see the vehicle in front. This prevents the driver from accurately assessing the severity of the deceleration and the situation. This leads to inappropriate reactions. Within current technological capabilities, there are some advanced solutions aimed at addressing this deficiency. Adaptive brake light systems, used especially in higher-end vehicles, provide protection against sudden braking. To detect these situations, they usually use a non-locking brake system or electronic balance system. The program evaluates data received from sensors or a separate accelerometer. These systems use brakes when a sudden and high-intensity braking is detected. 2 by making the lights flash at a specific frequency or increasing their brightness It also provides an additional warning to the driver behind. However, these systems also adjust the braking force. Rather than showing it on a gradual and continuous scale, it only shows normal braking and sudden bursts. It presents a two-state distinction, including braking. That is, the braking intensity is determined by a certain threshold. When the value is below this threshold, it is a standard constant burn; when it exceeds this threshold, it is 5. The blinking or increased brightness mode is activated. This approach is suitable for low, medium, and the subtle differences between high-intensity braking to the driver behind unable to transfer power, especially during moderate braking and sudden high-intensity braking. It fails to clearly demonstrate the visual distinction between them. Furthermore, the systems used in these... data from the anti-lock braking system or electronic stability program, vehicle wheel speeds and 10 It is affected by many different variables, such as road handling conditions, and directly impacts the vehicle's instantaneous response. It may not reflect its negative acceleration with sufficient accuracy. Another significant technical problem with current systems is their unnecessarily harsh braking behavior. They trigger a situation that negatively affects driving efficiency. A slight decrease in speed of the vehicle in front... Even in the situations he experienced, the brake lights remained at full brightness, alerting the 15 oncoming traffic. causing the driver to perceive the situation as more serious than it is and to brake hard unnecessarily. This causes the kinetic energy of the vehicle behind to be suddenly converted into heat. transforming and disappearing, unnecessarily increasing fuel consumption and accelerating again This leads to the generation of additional exhaust gas emissions. Furthermore, this type of Unnecessary braking maneuvers cause fluctuations in traffic flow, overall traffic is 20 This reduces efficiency and diminishes driving comfort, especially in heavy city traffic. unnecessary braking occurs repeatedly every time the vehicle in front touches its brake pedal. It also increases the risk of chain-reaction accidents. Furthermore, driving at night or in conditions such as fog or rain can reduce the risk of serious accidents. In the given visibility conditions, the existing brake lights should remain at a constant brightness, especially for those approaching from behind. It takes 25 years for the driver to accurately perceive the distance and deceleration rate of the vehicle in front. It also makes things more difficult. Given all these limitations and problems in the current technology, it is only possible to increase braking force in binary increments. Not as a one-off event or a two-level warning, but on a gradual, quantitative, and continuous scale from behind The need for a system that can communicate this to the approaching driver is clearly evident. This invention is what we are looking for. It was developed to solve a technical problem. The invention directly reduces the instantaneous negative acceleration of the vehicle by 30. It uses an accelerometer that measures with high precision, and this accelerometer data is obtained in advance. horizontally, through a control unit that compares against multiple defined threshold values. a configuration of LED lamps on an LED lighting module with a gradual arrangement It enables activation. In this way, the invention allows for the use of low, medium and high intensity flames. It offers a clear visual distinction between braking actions, showing the braking of the driver behind at 35. 3 This allows them to accurately perceive the intensity of the situation and respond appropriately. Thus... This invention both improves traffic safety and saves fuel by preventing unnecessary braking. It provides significant gains in terms of efficiency and driving comfort.

Investigations revealed that the existing brake light systems used in motor vehicles... The vast majority of them have a constant brightness that illuminates when the brake pedal is pressed, and only 25 It operates based on an on / off principle that indicates the presence of braking action. This is observed in some more advanced systems, which have a mechanical or magnetic connection to the brake pedal. switches, hydraulic pressure sensors, or variable sensors that detect the depth of brake pedal descent.
