The apparatus comprises two identical control devices (11a, 11b) which generate activation commands (24a, 24b) for preventive lights (2a-2e) signalling the progress of a vehicle (1). Each of the control devices (11a, 11b) is provided with driver-operated inhibiting members (17a, 17b, 18) for inhibiting the generation of at least one of said activation commands (24a, 24b) which is to be inhibited. The control devices (11a, 11b) can be used in a complementary fashion from an activation or deactivation of the inhibiting members (17a, 17b, 18) which they respectively include, by distribution between the control devices (11a, 11b) of the activation commands (24a, 24b) which they respectively emit to activate preventive lights (2a-2e) which include at least one piece of preventive equipment (4).

An article of clothing includes user-protection circuitry, integrated into the article of clothing. The user-protection circuitry includes condition-detection circuitry, which, in operation, generates one or more indications related to an environment of the article of clothing. The user-protection circuitry also includes broadcast circuitry including at least one pulsing device, and control circuitry. The control circuitry, in operation, activates the broadcast circuitry based on the one or more indications related to the environment of the article of clothing generated by the condition-detection circuitry.

Apparatus and methods for indicating sudden deceleration may involve modifying a vehicle brake lighting system with a support frame supporting a deceleration sensor, microcontroller, an energy storage component, and power circuitry. A portable deceleration warning system includes a portable sensor unit with an accelerometer, a transmitter, a power supply, and a microprocessor, and at least one portable illumination unit with a light emitter, a receiver, and a power supply. The portable sensor unit mounts reversibly to a vehicle and the portable illumination unit can be worn by an operator or passenger of the vehicle or be temporarily attached to the vehicle.

A three dimensional truck or SUV cab marker light apparatus comprising a container having a right circular cylinder structure with a shape determined by the number of walls used during assembly, each wall being formed from a generally flat sheet of a rigid material and a transparent material, the walls being assembled to form a container enclosing an interior region for a light-transmission source and having a lower surface for attachment to a cab roof without drilling holes into the cab roof and without installing wires through the cab roof.

An electronic signage assembly for communicating messages to persons proximate to a vehicle includes a messaging unit and a control unit, which are mountable, respectively, to a first substrate and a second substrate positioned within a passenger compartment of a vehicle. The control unit is accessible to a driver of the vehicle. The messaging unit comprises a receiver and a screen. The screen is visible through a window of the vehicle and is operationally engaged to the receiver. The control unit comprises a transceiver and a selector. The transceiver is in wireless communication with the receiver. The selector permits selection by the driver of a respective preprogrammed message from a plurality of preprogrammed messages. The transceiver is positioned to communicate the respective preprogrammed message to the screen. The screen displays the respective preprogrammed message to persons proximate to the vehicle.

A method, an apparatus and a system for lamp control of vehicle, the method includes: receiving, sent by a terminal device, position information of the terminal device, and obtaining position information of the vehicle; calculating a distance between the terminal device and the vehicle according to the position information of the terminal device and the position information of the vehicle; generating, when the distance is less than or equal to a preset distance, first information of the terminal device with respect to the vehicle, and turning on an outer lamp of the vehicle corresponding to a location of the terminal device according to the first information.

The invention relates to a signalling device (1) designed to be removably placed on the back of a user of a locomotive engine, the device (1) including electronic means for signal processing and for controlling the switching-on and/or switching-off of the at least one secondary signal light (3d, 3g) synchronously with the switching-on and/or switching-off of a primary signal light present in the machine. Electronic means are built into an accelerometer and means for interpreting measurements of the accelerometer allow the detection of a lateral variation, to the right or left, of the direction of movement, the means for controlling the at least one secondary signal light (3d, 3g) comprising means for verifying that the at least one secondary signal light (3d, 3g) indicates the lateral right or left direction followed by the user and the machine.

A vehicle is provided to analyze a signal received by a communicator and identify a first electronic device that transmits the received signal and a second electronic device that will transmit the received signal. The vehicle identifies a lighting algorithm that corresponds to an analysis result of the received signal and sequentially turns on a plurality of lighting devices based on the identified lighting algorithm.

An illumination control system is configured for operative association with a vehicle lighting system of an emergency vehicle, such as a fire truck or other first responder type of vehicle. The illumination control system includes a video analysis module configured for receiving data from one or more cameras positioned on an exterior of the vehicle, and each camera has an associated region of interest (ROI) defined for a field-of-view for the camera. An artificial intelligence (AI) module is provided to detect whether a person or object of interest has entered the ROI of the camera. The control system includes an algorithm processing module programmed for executing logic associated with one or more decision-making tasks in association with the operation of the AI module. Also, a light control module can be provided for communicating instructions for activating or deactivating various scene lights of the vehicle lighting system.
