Abstract

An amber light was mounted on the rear of several hundred taxicabs and was designed to communicate information about the taxi's deceleration to following drivers. The deceleration warning light system experiments in San Francisco for 12.3 million miles of normal on-road driving reduced the rear-end collision rate by approximately 60%.
