Abstract: The present invention relates to a Forward Brake Indicator device used in the automobiles to indicate break status of the vehicle ahead to avoid rear end collision due to sudden braking of vehicle. When the vehicle 1 applies brakes, the brake lights of vehicle 1 appear at its rear end. The camera of vehicle 2 at its windshield captures the images of vehicle l's rear end brake light and processes them using Image Processing Algorithms with the help of DSP circuitry and puts on the additional lights of vehicle 2 at its rear end before applying the brakes, indicating that the vehicle 1 has applied the brakes and vehicle2 is going to apply the brakes. As a result the driver of vehicle3 can apply the brakes by visualizing the additional lights at the rear end of vehicle 2. Figure 1
We claim:
1. A forward brake indicate device to indicate brake status of vehicle ahead to avoid
rear end collision due to sudden braking of vehicle, said device comprises;
i. camera to capture images of front vehicle's (1) rear end brake light;
ii. DSP processor to process the images captured to determine change in
intensity of color at indicators of the front vehicle (1); and iii. additional lights at rear end of vehicle (2) which is behind on the front
vehicle (1) to indicate brake status of the vehicle (1) before applying
brakes of vehicle (2).
2. A method to indicate brake status of vehicle ahead to avoid rear end collision due
to sudden braking of vehicle, said method comprising steps of
i. capturing images of front vehicle's (1) rear end brake light status;
ii. processing the captured images to determine change in intensity of
color at indicators of the front vehicle (1); iii. indicating the brake status of the vehicle (1) before applying brakes of
vehicle (2) when the intensity of color at indicators of the front vehicle
is changed.
3. The method as claimed in claim 2, wherein the method enables the driver of
vehicle (3) which is behind of the vehicle (2) to apply brakes by visualizing the
additional lights at the rear end of vehicle (2).
4. A forward brake indicate device and method to indicate brake status of vehicle
ahead to avoid rear end collision due to sudden braking of vehicle is substantially
as herein above described in the specification with respect to accompanying
