Abstract

An accelerometer is used to detect deceleration of a moving vehicle. The output from a brake light is varied in proportion to the forces detected by the accelerometer. The brake light can be an integral part of the vehicle or a self-contained unit (100), e.g. affixed to the rear window (140) of a car. The accelerometer can also be used to.alert the driver each- time. the applied braking force exceeds a threshold level,. e.g. as a corrective tool for learner drivers. A status indicator is used to indicate whether the accelerometer is at optimum orientation.
