Abstract
A computer-implemented method for warning road users of a hazardous operating condition of a heavy-duty vehicle. The method comprises obtaining, by a processor device of a computer system, a speed limit interval associated with a road on which a heavy-duty vehicle is travelling, and wherein the speed limit interval is based on a speed limit of the road; determining, by the processor device, that a travelling speed of the heavy-duty vehicle is outside the speed limit interval; determining, by the processor device, that a travelling angle of the heavy-duty vehicle and/or of the road on which the heavy-duty vehicle is travelling is outside a predetermined travelling angle range; and automatically controlling, by the processor device, the vehicle hazard lights of the heavy-duty vehicle based on the travelling speed and the travelling angle.
