BEANS (Brakelight Enhanced Actuation Notifier System

ABS brake actuation transmitter that also has a logic link to a rotary switch in the sun visor pivot mechanism that indicates when a driver deploys his visor, or if his ABS braking system actuates, (as on ice or slick roads or in emergency stopping).  If the ABS operates to correct braking performance then the ABS transmitter will trigger a relay in the next vehicle behind to stop any acceleration of the following vehicle and remove it from cruise control just as if it had also hit its brakes.  This relay will also actuate some electronic strobe type additional/auxiliary brake lights for improved visibility to other vehicles.  This relay is also contemplated to be capable of receiving signal from stationary Highway Work Zone signs.  The same strobe will flash only a couple of times for brakes applied but may also under the Specific conditions also flash as long as a turn signal in flashing if sun in eyes and brakes applied signals are simultaneous. Besides being triggered only by ABS, this transmitter will also be capable of sending a signal to a relay in the car in front if the driver uses his sun visor in the front position (indicating that the sun is in the driver’s eyes and it will tell the car in front’s intelligent system to flash the electronic strobe type additional/auxiliary brake lights for improved visibility to the vehicle(s) behind if the front vehicle’s brake pedal is applied.  The Brake Actuation Transmitter would better serve these applications if the ABS signals were transmitted via a directional antenna to the rear of the vehicle and the sun visor signal were transmitted via a forward direction oriented antenna or at a separate frequency.   Still another contemplated Input to this transmitter is from another vehicle’s transmitters:  Inclinometer switch set point of > 60 degrees transmitted signal indicating that a nearby vehicle has rolled over Air-Bag deployed indicator switch in other vehicle is transmitted to indicate a collision. In addition to BEANS input from other vehicles, from within the vehicle, from stationary road work zone signs add another contemplated input from any vehicle within range that has its air-bags deploy; has overturned (wreck indications) to provide an added visible interface to prevent distractions i.e. rubbernecking, to over ride inattention by the driver. Photos 1-3 are intended to show the representation of the BEANS in the environmental setting i.e. work zone and snow; Photos 4 & 5 show a representation of the rotary switch on the sunvisor which interlocks with the BEANS transmitter. (note that although the rotary switch appears to not be on the driver's visor, this is a one seat Electric Vehicle and only has the one visor). Not shown are the directional antennas and ABS transmitter.
