Abstract:
A braking intensity indicator system for a vehicle of a type that includes a foot operated brake pedal and at least one brake light may include a proximity sensor to be associated with the brake pedal and a controller. The controller may be configured to cooperate with the proximity sensor to determine a plurality of brake pedal positions versus time during foot operation of the brake pedal, and selectively adjust an intensity of the at least one brake light based upon the determined plurality of brake pedal positions versus time.
