Abstract

An advanced brake light signalling apparatus utilizes an output from a potentiometric position sensor, buffers the output, differentiates the buffered signal, compares the differentiated signal with a reference, and depending upon the results of the comparison activates the brake lights of a vehicle for a minimum time period. The position of the accelerator at the time of initiation of motion may be utilized to adjust the reference to which the differentiated signal is compared.
