Abstract:
The present invention is a brake level indication device that indicates brake force applied by front vehicle driver to rear vehicle driver by switching ON and OFF series of LEDs or bulbs. It includes sensor which converts force applied to the brake in the form of variable electrical signal. The variable electrical signal is digitized into different levels by peripheral interface of microcontroller. The microprocessor processes the digitized data, depending on the level of output signal, turns ON the series of LEDs or bulbs. If full brake is applied, then all the bulbs or LEDs will be turned ON and also emergency flash light is turned ON. Providing braking information of front vehicle and indicating it to rear vehicle will reduce death rate due to vehicle collision.
