Abstract: A lighting system enables a lighting pattern to be displayed on a vehicle when the vehicle is in motion. A lighting pattern may include lights that fluctuate (with respect to luminosity) or lights that stay, that is, are solid, at the same luminosity. The length of time that a light, such as an LED lamp, is powered on may vary. Similarly, the amount of time between two adjacent lights are powered off and powered on may also vary. As such, the lighting sequence is flexible and can be customized so that all lights are not on for the same length of time and the time between two lights being powered may vary. A vehicle front alert system allows for improved perception of speed of an approaching vehicle, human, or object.

Abstract: Examples provide emergency vehicle warning light device activation digital alerts to recipients. An alert manager monitors activation of smart light devices on an emergency vehicle. When smart light device activation is detected, the alert manager generates a digital alert notification including notification data. The notification data identifies the current location of the emergency vehicle. The notification is transmitted to one or more selected recipients. The notification data in the digital alert notification is used to generate a digital alert on a user interface device or other output device associated with each recipient. The system determines when to provide digital alerts by applying user-configurable rules to notification data for customizable digital alerts to selected recipients. The digital alerts can include emergency vehicle indicators identifying the location of emergency vehicles having activated emergency lights within digital maps displayed to users in vehicles.
