<p>An early warning brake system for a vehicle is provided that gives adequate warning to a following vehicle driver. The system has an accelerometer which constantly measures deceleration of the vehicle and stores any new maximum deceleration during progress of the vehicle. This maximum deceleration is stored in a computer. When the deceleration of the vehicle is at the prevailing maximum value or a function or fraction thereof, the computer activates an early warning to the following vehicle. The acceleration (or deceleration) due to the vehicle travelling on a slope is also measured and automatically compensates the prevailing maximum deceleration on a level road.</p> |
