Abstract
A visual front alert system attached to a vehicle for instructing observers as to movement of the vehicle. A body incorporates a plurality of illuminating elements configured in a strip extending substantially the length thereof and communicating with a processor also integrated into the body and incorporating a motion control circuitry. A power supply operates the processor and illuminating elements. In response to a travel condition of the vehicle, the motion control circuitry outputs a signal to the processor which is representative of the vehicle movement, the processor in turn signals the illuminating elements to generate a visual output corresponding to the signal.
Claims15
A visual front alert system attached to a vehicle for instructing observers as to movement of the vehicle, said system comprising:
- a body incorporating a plurality of illuminating elements configured in a strip extending substantially the length thereof and communicating with a processor also integrated into said body and incorporating a motion control circuitry;
- a power supply operating said processor and illuminating elements;
- in response to a travel condition of the vehicle, said motion control circuitry outputting a signal to said processor which is representative of the vehicle movement;
- and
- said processor in turn signaling said illuminating elements to generate a visual output corresponding to said signal.
A process for creating a visual front alert system attached to a vehicle for instructing observers as to movement of the vehicle, said system comprising:
- providing each of a plurality of illuminating elements configured in a strip and a processor incorporating a motion control circuitry;
- forming a body around the illuminating elements and processor;
- communicating a power supply operating the processor and illuminating elements;
- and
- responding to a travel condition of the vehicle by causing the motion control circuitry to output a signal to the processor which is representative of the vehicle movement for signaling to the illuminating elements to generate a visual output corresponding to said signal.
