<p>The method involves determining the total acceleration of the vehicle, and issues stop light signals only when the total acceleration represents a delay corresponding to braking or deceleration. The total acceleration may be determined by adding together different longitudinal acceleration components, such as the drive acceleration produced by the engine, the acceleration produced by friction between the vehicle tires and the road surface, the acceleration related to air resistance based on vehicle speed, the braking acceleration, and road gradient acceleration. An independent claim is also included for a device for issuing stop light signals for a vehicle.</p> |
