Abstract

The system comprises a first laser emitter (4) arranged to project on the road surface in front of the vehicle a first laser beam indicative of the type of vehicle, a second laser emitter (6) arranged to project on the road surface behind the vehicle a second laser beam indicative of the type of vehicle, and a third laser emitter (8) arranged to project a third laser beam on the road surface behind the vehicle upon actuation of the vehicle's brakes. The laser emitters (4, 6, 8) are arranged to project the respective laser beams either at a predefined distance (D) from the vehicle, approximately 25 meters, or at a variable distance (D) from the vehicle depending on the vehicle's speed.
