Abstract

The present invention is a cooperative advance warning system for use in warning oncoming traffic of unexpected upcoming road hazards. The system comprises a lamp mounted on a vehicle so that light emitted by the lamp is visible to drivers of oncoming vehicles, a switch accessible to the driver for activating the lamp when the driver comes upon an unexpected road hazard, and an electronic control unit for controlling the characteristics of the light emitted from the lamp.
