Abstract: Our invention comprises a software system and device for automatically engaging the existing warning lights (“4-way flashers”), Reverse lamps, Hazard lamps and Optional Additional lamps, in the event of serious vehicle collision. The software system described for enabling our invention is designed for implementation by automotive original equipment manufacturers (OEM). It is anticipated that car and truck manufacturers can simply plug our software component into the on-board computer to permit automatic engagement of emergency lighting in the event of collision or rollover. The code for our software is designed to operate on a real time operating system (RTOS) utilizing a fixed time step at a multiple of the processor clock speed.
