Adaptive brake lights : an investigation into their relative benefits in regards to road safety

This thesis outlines the benefits and detrimental effects associated with current in-vehicle intelligent transport systems and details the development and user interface testing of an adaptive brake light. The research showed that an adaptive brake light can be an improved method of displaying the varying levels of deceleration of a lead vehicle, and provide a benefit in regards to road safety when compared to a standard brake light interface.
