  • Publication number: 20240416827
    Abstract: A method of signaling a plurality of driving states of a tank vehicle when in travel. The method includes steps of sending a travel response to a rear lighting assembly of the tank vehicle, emitting a set of indicating lights, by a signaling device of the rear lighting assembly, through a false bulkhead of the tank vehicle, and signaling the plurality of driving states of the tank vehicle when in travel. The method may further include that the step of emitting the set of indicating lights through the false bulkhead further includes that the set of indicating lights is transmitted through the false bulkhead free from obstructing a view of the signaling device or that the set of indicating lights is diffused through the false bulkhead to obstruct a view of the signaling device.
