  • Patent number: 12109938
    Abstract: A system for signaling a hazard condition of a vehicle includes a microprocessor configured to receive an electronic signal from the vehicle that is indicative of a hazardous condition involving the vehicle, and a first radio transmitter in operative communication with the microprocessor. In response to receiving the signal indicative of a hazardous event, the microprocessor sends a first wireless signal via the first radio transmitter that indicates the vehicle is involved in the hazardous condition.

  • Patent number: 11904765
    Abstract: A system includes a microcontroller that controls illumination of a plurality of vehicle lights that are operable in a flashing state wherein the plurality of lights operate as hazard flashers visible on a front and rear of a vehicle and a strobing state wherein the plurality of lights operate as strobing lights visible on the front and rear of the vehicle. The system includes a strobe activation switch that provides a signal to the microcontroller to operate the plurality of vehicle lights in the second strobing state. The microcontroller operates the plurality of vehicle lights in the first hazard flasher state in response activation of an existing hazard flasher switch. The strobing state has a flash rate that is perceptibly faster than a flash rate of the flashing state.

  • Patent number: 10870390
    Abstract: A system includes a first lead connecting to existing vehicle wiring for activating a signal light of a right side of a vehicle, and a first strobing light module having a first microcontroller connected to the first lead and operating a first light capable of strobing operation. A second lead connects to existing vehicle wiring for activating a signal light of a left side of the vehicle, and a second strobing light module having a second microcontroller connects to the second lead and operating a light capable of strobing operation. The first and second microcontrollers are communicatively coupled and each provides a signal to the other when it has detected activation of its respective lead. The first and second microcontrollers both strobe their respective light capable of strobing operation upon receiving the signal from the other and the signal from their own respective lead.
