Abstract

Pressure-dependent modulation of the brake lights of a motor vehicle. In order to inform drivers of vehicles of the severity of the braking process of a vehicle travelling ahead, the brakelights of the braked vehicle are switched on statically for normal actuation of the brakes but are switched on and off in the manner of a flashing hazard warning system for full braking.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft die Anzeige eines Bremsvorgangs eines Kraftfahrzeugs mit Hilfe von am Fahrzeugheck angebrachten Bremsleuchten, um die Fahrzeugführer nachfolgender Fahrzeuge zu warnen und gegebenenfalls zur Verzögerung ihres Fahrzeugs zu bewegen.The invention relates to the display of a braking operation Motor vehicle with the help of attached to the rear of the vehicle Brake lights to guide the drivers of following vehicles warn and if necessary to delay your vehicle move.

Zur Zeit werden für diesen Zweck Bremsleuchten am Heck des Kraftfahrzeugs angebracht, die bei Betätigung der Bremsanlage statisch aufleuchten. Der nachfolgende Kraftfahrer bekommt jedoch durch diese Bremsleuchten keine Information darüber, wie stark das vorausfahrende Fahrzeug abgebremst wird.For this purpose, brake lights on the rear of the Motor vehicle attached when the brake system is actuated illuminate statically. However, the subsequent driver gets through these brake lights no information about how strong the vehicle in front is braked.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, dem nachfolgenden Fahrzeugführer anzuzeigen, ob das vor ihm befindliche Fahrzeug schwach oder sehr stark abgebremst wird.The invention has for its object the following Vehicle driver indicate whether the vehicle in front of him is slowed down weakly or very strongly.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß die Bremsleuchten bei schwacher Betätigung der Bremsen statisch aufleuchten, bei einer Vollbremsung jedoch in der Art einer Warn­ blinkanlage zu blinken beginnen.This object is achieved in that the Brake lights static when the brakes are weakly applied light up, but in the form of a warning when braking hard the turn signal system starts to flash.

Zu diesem Zweck wird der übliche Bremslichtschalter durch einen Schalter mit drei Schaltzuständen ersetzt.For this purpose, the usual brake light switch is replaced by a Switch with three switching states replaced.
