"BRAKE LIGHTS 'ON-OFF' CONTROL SYSTEM"
"ONE OF A KIND" SAFETY DEVICE FOR CARS, MOTORCYCLES AND TRUCKS
BACKGROUND:
IN TODAY'S HIGHLY DEMANDING DRIVING
CONDITIONS, THE STANDARD METHOD OF OPERATING
BRAKE LIGHTS IN CARS, MOTORCYCLES AND TRUCKS, WHICH WAS FIRST INTRODUCED ALMOST
A HUNDRED YEARS AGO, HAS NOW BECOME OBSOLETE. IN MANY EVERYDAY
DRIVING SITUATIONS WHICH MOTORISTS FACE ON THE ROAD, THIS OUT-DATED
SYSTEM CAN PROVE TO BE DANGEROUS.
TODAY'S STANDARD BRAKE LIGHTS OPERATING SYSTEM IN CARS, MOTORCYCLES AND TRUCKS STILL USE A SIMPLE PUSH 'ON-OFF' TYPE SWITCH ATTACHED TO THE BRAKE PEDAL. WHEN BRAKE PEDAL IS PUSHED, BRAKE LIGHTS ARE TURNED ON AND WHEN BRAKE PEDAL IS RELEASED, BRAKE LIGHTS ARE TURNED OFF.
QUITE OFTEN, DRIVERS AND RIDERS AFTER STOPPING, FOR EXAMPLE, AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT OR IN ANY OTHER SITUATION, TAKE THEIR FOOT OFF THE BRAKE PEDAL, BUT WHEN THEY DO THIS, BRAKE LIGHTS ARE TURNED OFF. OTHER DRIVERS APPROACHING FROM BEHIND, ESPECIALLY AT NIGHT TIME AND MORE SO IN BAD WEATHER, HAVE TO GUESS WHETHER THE VEHICLE IN FRONT IS STILL STOPPED OR HAS IT STARTED TO MOVE FORWARD. THIS GUESSING USES UP CRITICAL SECONDS FROM TIME NEEDED TO REACT CORRECTLY.
TODAY, CARS COME EQUIPPED WITH ALL SORTS OF SAFETY DEVICES SUCH AS AIR BAGS, SEAT BELTS, ABS BRAKES, etc. THESE ARE ALL EXCELLENT PRODUCTS, BUT THEY HAVE LITTLE TO DO WITH A CAR'S ABILITY TO AVOID ACCIDENTS.
CHALLENGE:
DESIGN A BRAKE LIGHTS OPERATING SYSTEM, KEEPING TODAY'S DEMANDING DRIVING
CONDITIONS IN MIND.
ANSWER:
"BRAKE LIGHTS 'ON-OFF' CONTROL SYSTEM"
THIS LATEST BRAKE LIGHTS OPERATING SYSTEM WILL END THIS TYPE OF GUESSING ON
THE ROAD AND PROVIDE MOTORISTS AND RIDERS EXTRA TIME TO REACT CORRECTLY IN MOST
SITUATIONS AND CONDITIONS. "BRAKE LIGHTS 'ON-OFF' CONTROL SYSTEM"
IS TRULY "ONE OF A KIND" SAFETY DEVICE
WHICH WAS LONG OVERDUE. IT WILL, NO DOUBT, PROMOTE AND ENHANCE ROAD SAFETY IMMEASURABLY.
PRODUCT OPERATION:
WHEN BRAKE IS APPLIED TO DECELERATE OR TO BRING VEHICLE TO A STOP, BRAKE
LIGHTS ARE TURNED 'ON,' NORMALLY, AND ARE LOCKED IN
'ON' POSITION. IF THE BRAKE PEDAL IS RELEASED FOR ANY REASON, FOR EXAMPLE, WHILE WAITING AT
A TRAFFIC LIGHT OR IN ANY OTHER SITUATION, BRAKE LIGHTS WILL REMAIN 'ON.'
WHEN VEHICLE MOVEMENT IS DETECTED, ONLY THEN, THE BRAKE LIGHTS ARE TURNED 'OFF.'
SOME COMMON EVERYDAY DRIVING SITUATIONS WHERE BRAKE LIGHTS LOCKED IN "ON" POSITION WILL BE A BIG ADVANTAGE:
1. MOST IMPORTANT: AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT, APPROACHING DRIVERS WILL KNOW AS LONG AS BRAKE LIGHTS OF THE VEHICLE IN FRONT REMAIN 'ON,' IT IS NOT MOVING.
2. WHEN THE TRAFFIC LIGHT TURNS GREEN, THOSE DRIVERS IN THE BACK WHO ARE ONLY LOOKING AT THE TRAFFIC LIGHT AND ASSUME DRIVER IN FRONT HAS ALSO SEEN THE TRAFFIC LIGHT TURN GREEN, WILL NOT JUMP START AS LONG AS THE BRAKE LIGHTS OF THE VEHICLE IN FRONT REMAIN 'ON.' CARS WITH AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WILL ALSO GAIN FEW EXTRA SECONDS IF BRAKE LIGHTS REMAIN 'ON' AFTER THE TRAFFIC LIGHT TURNS GREEN.
3. VEHICLE 'A' IS PULLING AWAY FROM THE CURB WITH INDICATOR FLASHING. APPROACHING DRIVERS ARE STILL NEVER SURE WHAT VEHICLE 'A' IS GOING TO DO. WITH BRAKE LIGHTS LOCKED IN 'ON' POSITION, APPROACHING DRIVERS WILL KNOW, FOR SURE, VEHICLE 'N IS NOT MOVING.
4. IN A SLOW BUMPER TO BUMPER TRAFFIC, DRIVERS WILL BE FULLY AWARE OF THE MOVEMENT OF THE VEHICLE IN FRONT AND WILL NOT JUMP START AS LONG AS BRAKE LIGHTS OF THE VEHICLE IN FRONT REMAIN 'ON.'
5. WHEN, FOR EXAMPLE, DROPPING OFF CHILDREN AT SCHOOL, DOING DRIVE-THRU BANKING OR ORDERING AT A FAST FOOD DRIVE-THRU, MOST PEOPLE PUT THEIR CARS IN 'PARK OR 'NEUTRAL' AND TAKE THEIR FOOT OFF THE BRAKE PEDAL. IF BRAKE LIGHTS ARE LOCKED IN 'ON' POSITION IN THESE SITUATIONS IT WILL DEFINITELY ENHANCE SAFETY.
6. AT TRAFFIC LIGHTS, MOTORCYCLE RIDERS DUE TO THEIR SMALL VEHICLE PROFILE ARE, QUITE OFTEN, NOT SEEN BY APPROACHING DRIVERS.
WITH MOTORCYCLE BRAKE LIGHTS LOCKED IN 'ON' POSITION, RIDERS WILL BECOME MORE VISIBLE TO THE APPROACHING TRAFFIC.
INSTALLATION:
MOST OUTSTANDING AND UNIQUE FEATURE ABOUT THIS DEVICE IS IT DOES
NOT REQUIRE ANY SPEED OR MOTION SENSOR INSTALLATION ON THE DRIVE
SHAFT OR AXLE OF THE VEHICLE MAKING IT EXTREMELY "INSTALLATION
FRIENDLY." IT CAN EITHER COME AS FACTORY-FITTED 'ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT' OR ANYONE HANDY
WITH SIMPLE TOOLS, FOLLOW WRITTEN INSTRUCTIONS AND IS LITTLE FAMILIAR WITH CARS
AND OR MOTORCYCLES CAN INSTALL THIS DEVICE LATER ON QUITE EASILY.
THIS DEVICE IS VERY COMPACT ABOUT SIZE OF A POCKET CALCULATOR.
