Rear end collision avoidance system

摘要

A rear collision prevention system includes: a linkage coupled to a gas pedal, the linkage capable of sensing the position of the gas pedal, the linkage communicatively coupled to a transmitter, a transmitter with at least a first channel and a second channel, where the first channel receives a signal from the linkage when the gas pedal is depressed, and the second channel receives a signal when the gas pedal is released. The system also includes a receiver communicatively coupled to the transmitter. The receiver receives signals from the first channel and the second channel of the transmitter. An illumination device is communicatively coupled to the receiver, and the device illuminates in a first color responsive to the receiver receiving a signal on the first channel and illuminates in a second color responsive to the receiver receiving a signal on the second channel.

1. A rear collision prevention system comprising:
a mechanical linkage coupled to a gas pedal, the mechanical linkage configured to sense the position of the gas pedal, the mechanical linkage communicatively coupled to a transmitter; the transmitter comprising at least a first channel and a second channel, wherein the first channel receives a signal from the mechanical linkage when the gas pedal is depressed, and the second channel receives a signal when the gas pedal is released; a receiver communicatively coupled to the transmitter, wherein the receiver receives signals from the first channel and the second channel of the transmitter; at least one illumination device communicatively coupled to the receiver, wherein the device illuminates in a first color responsive to the receiver receiving a signal on the first channel and illuminates in a second color responsive to the receiver receiving a signal on the second channel, wherein the rear collision prevention system functions independently from a braking system and a transmission in a vehicle.
