  "textContent": "The \"braking level indication device for motor vehicles\" consists of the following parts: a proportional pressure sensor, that is applied to vehicle braking system, an electronic control unit, a LED stripe located in the back of vehicle. Device operation description: applied pressure by driver on braking pedal is detected by pressure sensor and transmitted to control unit that lights LED stripe progressively and proportionally to braking level, until all elements are lit, in case of maximum intensity braking action. This device has the scope of avoiding or, at least, drastically reducing accidents between vehicles because, in respect of stop lights lighting that don't give the sensation of braking intensity to following drivers, and in respect of intermittent lights (installed in certain vehicles) that light automatically when the vehicle itself is almost stopped, this device lights a LED stripe in rapid sequence, for an amount of elements lit proportional to the braking intensity and when braking action just occurs; this fact allows following driver to make an actual valuation of the braking intensity carried out by the preceding vehicle. Besides, LED stripe quick and progressive lighting movement gives a more noticeable signal to following drivers, in respect of total instantaneous lighting of a generic length LED stripe.",
