Abstract
Improved vehicle emergency lighting control is implemented in a vehicle computer of a first vehicle 101. Data is collected related to a pursuit of a second vehicle 120. The collected data is used to determine at least one of an action of the first vehicle and an action of the second vehicle. An emergency light in the first vehicle is controlled based on the at least one determined action. The rear facing emergency light in the first vehicle, which ordinarily shows emergency flashing lights, is instead altered to indicate to a third vehicle 125 in the pursuit an action of the first or second vehicle. For example, the emergency light may show that the first (figure 2) or second vehicle is braking, or that the first or second vehicle (figure 4) is turning. The activation of a pursuit switch by an occupant of the first vehicle may first be detected by the computer. The data may be collected by means of ultrasonic image, radar, lidar, GPS and infrared. The emergency vehicle may be a police car, ambulance, fire truck etc.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
SYSTEM OVERVIEW
1000101 Figure 2 is a block diagram of a first emergency vehicle 101, followed by a second emergency vehicle 125, in pursuit of a suspect vehicle 120. As described herein, and with reference now to Figure 1, the first, lead, emergency vehicle 101 includes an emergency lighting confroller 105 configured to control emergency lights 115 in the vehicle 101, e.g., to command specific light and/or sound patterns and/or low frequency sounds providing an indication to one or more following vehicles 125 of behavior of a lead vehicle 101 in responding to a pursuit, of a response to a call for support and/or any other need for aggressive driving manoeuvres to other nearby vehicles. For example, a pursuit switch 103 in the vehicle 101 may be activated, whereupon lighting 115 directed to the rear of the lead vehicle 101 may be reduced and/or a pattern of flashing controlled so as to reduce interference with reactions of following drivers and/or to better signal actions of the lead vehicle 101 to following drivers of vehicles 125. In general, disclosed herein are systems and methods for integrating law enforcementiemergency vehicle equipment such as the emergency lighting controller 105 and a pursuit switch 103 with standard vehicle elements such as modules 102 and the radar sensor input 104.
1000111 As illustrated in Figure 1, a vehicle 101 CAN (controller area network) bus 110 or the like, and/or discrete, i.e., digital, data communications 111 provide information to an emergency lighting controller 105 that may include a communication module 106 and a light bar controller 107. Modules that may provide data to the CAN bus 110 and/or via digital communications 111 include a pursuit switch 103, a radar sensor input 104, and/or other vehicle 101 modules 102. Vehicle 101 sensor 104 output, CAN bus 110 messages, and/or any vehicle outputs 111 indicating status of items such as, but not limited to, vehicle 101 speed, brake status, steering angle, etc., will be used directly by the emergency lighting controller 105 and/or through a "gateway" type interface provided by the communication module 106 between the vehicle 101 systems and the controller 105, including the light bar controller 107.
Accordingly, vehicle 101 equipment such as the light bar 115 may be controlled based upon operating conditions defined by vehicle 101 CAN bus 110 communications and/or digital messages 111, thereby to improve notification to nearby vehicles 125 of impending or occurring emergency vehicle manoeuvres.
1000121 In general, the emergency lighting controller 105 may temporarily disable and/or alter emergency flashing lights, or patterns of the same, in selected directions, and may provide notification, e.g., to following vehicle(s), of certain manoeuvres intended and/or taken by a leading vehicle 101 during aggressive driving conditions, e.g., during a pursuit. Further, the lighting controller 105 may provide additional indication(s) of vehicle 101 driving manoeuvres during non-aggressive driving conditions such as, but not limited to, using a rear portion of the emergency lighting 115 on rear facing light(s) to duplicate and/or be redundant of the function of vehicle 101 brake lights, and/or using the "Uaffic advisor" or similar type function that could duplicate and/or be redundant of the function of vehicle 101 turn indicators. As seen in the Figures, the lights 115 can be illuminated according to one or more colors to provide warning and/or messages to a vehicle 101 surroundings.
1000131 In addition, vehicle 101 radar system(s) 104 could sense a direction and/or change thereof of the vehicle 120 being pursued and could provide a message/signal to the emergency lighting controller 105 to temporarily disable the rear facing flashing emergency lighting 115 of the vehicle 101, and/or initiate a light pattern indicating direction of the turn for subsequent vehicles 125 in the pursuit. After the turn manoeuvre, this turn indication feature could be disabled and original emergency lighting flash patterns could resume. As mentioned above, audible and/or low frequency indications of lead vehicle 101 behavior could also be provided.
1000141 As stated above, a vehicle 101 includes an emergency lighting controller 105, e.g., that might be included in or communicatively coupled to a computing device in the vehicle 101.
The vehicle 101 is generally a land-based vehicle having three or more wheels, e.g., a passenger car, light truck, heavy duty truck such as a fire truck, etc. A computer such as may include the lighting controller 105 generally includes a processor and a memory, the memory including one or more forms of computer-readable media, and storing instructions executable by the processor for performing various operations, including as disclosed herein. Further, such computer may include and/or be communicatively coupled to more than one computing device, e.g., controllers or the like included in the vehicle 101 for monitoring and/or controlling various vehicle components, e.g., an engine control unit, transmission control unit, etc. The computer 105 is generally configured for communications on a controller area network (CAN) bus 110 or the like. The computer 105 may also have a connection to an onboard diagnostics connector (OBD-11), and or other digital communications mechanisms 111.
1000151 Via the CAN bus 110, OBD-H, and/or other wired or wireless mechanisms, the computer 105 may transmit messages, e.g., by controlling a color, flash pattern, etc., of one or more lights in the emergency lights 115, to various devices in a vehicle and/or receive messages from the various devices, e.g., controllers, actuators, sensors, etc., including, without limitation, modules 102, the pursuit switch 103, and/or radar sensor input 104. Alternatively or additionally, in cases where a computer actually comprises multiple devices, including the emergency lighting controller 105, the CAN bus or the like may be used for communications between such devices, In addition, a vehicle computer may be configured for communicating with other devices via various wired and/or wireless networking technologies, e.g., cellular, Bluetooth, a universal serial bus (USB), wired and/or wireless packet networks, etc. 1000161 Figure 2 illustrates an example in which a message on the vehicle 101 CAN bus 110 or signal Ill indicating vehicle braking is applied, and/or applied at a predetermined specific brake pressure level, could be read by the gateway communications module I 06 and provided to the vehicle 101 light bar controller 107 and/or or read directly by the controller 107 to command the rear facing light(s) in the light bar 115 to duplicate the function of the vehicle 101 brake lights, e.g., at an output'power level equal to emergency response or reduced power/brightness level. Audible and/or low frequency indications can also be provided, as stated above.
1000171 With reference to Figure 3, a front facing radar 104 or other mechanism, e.g., a front facing camera or lidar sensor, may be used to detect a deceleration of a vehicle 120 being pursued, e.g., the vehicle 101 may detect a deceleration rate equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold of the vehicle 120 being pursued, and may provide a signal 111 or CAN bus 110 message read by the gateway/interface module 106 and made available to the light-bar controller 107 and/or read directly by the light-bar controller 107, which may then command rear facing lights of the light-bar 115, rear window mounted lighting, or any other rear-facing emergency lights, e.g., with respect to a light pattern and/or brightness and/or other output that provides an indication of vehicle 101 braking in addition to vehicle 101 brake lights to improve an ability of pursuing/following drivers of vehicles 125 to respond to manoeuvres of the vehicle 101, e.g., during aggressive driving manoeuvres. A light pattern could be displayed without the lead vehicle 101 brakes being applied. Audible and/or low frequency indications can also be included, as stated above.
1000181 With reference to Figure 4, a front facing radar 104 or other mechanism, e.g., a front facing camera or lidar sensor that may be included in modules 102 may be used to detect a lateral movement of a vehicle 120 being pursued, e.g., may detect a direction of a turn (left or right) of a vehicle 120 in front and accordingly the emergency lighting controller 105 may command the rear facing lights of the light-bar 115, rear window mounted lighting, and/or "traffic advisor" type of bar, to illuminate a flash pattern indicating the direction of the turn to following vehicles to improve an ability of following vehicles 125 to respond, e.g., during aggressive driving manoeuvres.
1000191 Modules 102 in a vehicle 10! may receive data from a variety of devices, e.g., sensors such as one or more ultrasonic sensors, cameras, lidar sensors, radar sensors, infrared sensors, etc. Further, the foregoing examples are not intended to be limiting; other data could also be provided to a vehicle computer, including the emergency lighting controller 105 and/or other vehicle 101 controllers, from modules 102 such as steering, brake, transmission, engine, etc., controllers, e.g., to provide data via the CAN bus! 10 relating to vehicle 101 speed, acceleration, etc. Further, sensors or the like, global positioning system (GPS) equipment, etc., could be included in a vehicle 101 and configured to provide data directly to vehicle 101 computing devices, e.g., via a wired or wireless connection.
1000201 Vehicle 101 computing devices include a memory that generally stores data collected as described above. Such data may include a variety of data collected in a vehicle 101.
S
Examples may include measurements relating to a position, velocity, and size (e.g., length, width, height, radar cross section) of target(s) such as a vehicle 125 in or near a detection zone 200. Data 115 may additionally include data calculated therefrom in a computer such as the controller 105 and/or other vehicle 101 computer.
1000211 The vehicle 101 generally includes a human machine interface, In general, the HIvil is equipped to accept inputs for, and/or provide outputs from, one or more vehicle 1 01 computers, e.g., the controller 105. For example, the vehicle 101 may include one or more of a display configured to provide a graphical user interface (GUI) or the like, an interactive voice response (IVR) system, one or more audio output devices, etc. 1000221 FigureS is a diagram of an exemplary process 500 for emergency vehicle 101 lighting control. The process 500 begins in a block 505, in which a pursuit switch 103 in a vehicle 101 is selected. As noted above, selection of the pursuit switch 103 may indicate that the vehicle 101 is in pursuit of a vehicle 120. Generally, selection of the pursuit switch 103 initiates operations of the emergency lighting controller 105 such as described above. Further, additional input may be required to initiate such operations of the emergency lighting controller 105, e.g., input from a vehicle 101 driver or occupant that following emergency vehicles 125 are present, detection of following emergency vehicles 105 via vehicle-two-vehicle communications, sensor data as described above, or some other mechanism.
1000231 Next, in a block 510, the controller 105 collects data concerning vehicle 101 and/or vehicle 120 operations, e.g., as described above, a vehicle 120 could be detected accelerating, decelerating, turning, etc., as could a vehicle I UI, 1000241 Next, in a block 515, the emergency lighting controller 105 provides control of vehicle 101 lights, e.g., in a light-bar 115, rear window lights, and/or other lights provided for emergency operation, based on data collected as described above with respect to the block 5 I 0.
Further, audible output may be additionally or alternatively provided as described above.
1000251 The process 500 ends following the block 515, e.g., based on input received via the switch 103 or some other mechanism, when a vehicle 101 is stopped or powered off, etc.
