Blinker
The car will be honking, with blinker and hazard lights flashing, according to Mazda,
although the exact warning signals are still undecided.

road vehicle. 2. ( often plural) a slang word for eye
Hazard warning lights are a pair of intermittent flashing indicator lights that flash in unison to
warn other drivers that the vehicle is a temporary obstruction. They are also called hazard
flashers and hazard lights. Different countries use hazard warning lights in different ways.
Sensor
According to Robert Sheldon a sensor is a device that detects and responds to some
type of input from the physical environment. The input can be light, heat, motion,
moisture, pressure or any number of other environmental phenomena. The output is
generally a signal that is converted to a human-readable display at the sensor location
or transmitted electronically over a network for reading or further processing.
Sensors play a pivotal role in the internet of things (IoT). They make it possible to
create an ecosystem for collecting and processing data about a specific environment
so it can be monitored, managed and controlled more easily and efficiently. IoT
sensors are used in homes, out in the field, in automobiles, on airplanes, in industrial
settings and in other environments. Sensors bridge the gap between the physical
world and logical world, acting as the eyes and ears for a
computing infrastructure that analyzes and acts upon the data collected from the
sensors
Wire’s
Wire is commonly formed by drawing the metal through a hole in a die or draw plate. Wire
gauges come in various standard sizes, as expressed in terms of a gauge number or cross-
sectional area.
Wires are used to bear mechanical loads, often in the form of wire rope.
In electricity and telecommunications signals, a "wire" can refer to an electrical cable, which can
contain a "solid core" of a single wire or separate strands in stranded or braided forms.
Usually cylindrical in geometry, wire can also be made in square, hexagonal, flattened
rectangular, or other cross-sections, either for decorative purposes, or for technical purposes such
as high-efficiency voice coils in loudspeakers. Edge-wound coil springs, such as the Slinky toy,
are made of special flattened wire.
LED Light’s
LED warning lights provide a visual alarm to alert people of any danger in a particular
environment or application. An LED warning light on vehicles helps them to be visible and attract
attention in dangerous or emergency situations. Some of the factors that make LED lamps suitable
for use in warning lights are their reliability, low energy consumption, durability and ability to
withstand rough environments. In addition, their small size offers designers with the flexibility to
build them in many formats to suit a wide variety of applications. Most common methods of
installing the lamps are the flush and surface mounting.
Where are LED warning lights used? LED warning lights range from indoor types…
LED warning lights for indoor use are usually different and cheaper than those for mining and similar
applications. Due to the harsh condition in such environments, the LED lights have tough transparent
casings to withstand the debris without degrading the performance of the fixture. In addition, the housing for
the outdoor and harsh environment must be water and dust proof. Surface mounted LED warning lights may
use high power bulbs and a die-cast alloy housing for better heat dissipation and cooling of the devices.
These are suitable for applications requiring high levels of brightness.
Common types of LED warning lights The type, design, and construction of a warning light
depend on application and conditions in the particular environment. For this reason, the choice of a
warning light for an indoor application will differ from that of an outdoor use. Some common
lights are listed below; these differ in construction and applications.
• LED emergency lights
• Aircraft warning lights
• Aviation obstruction warning lights
• Helipad Lights • LED strobe warning
Below are some factors that make LEDs suitable for warning lights. Small size Small size hence
can be used virtually for any space. Small spaces may use strips or strings or single LED. Aircraft
runaway or tower warning lights may use several LED bulbs combined to produce a higher light
output visible from far during all weathers.
On a divided highway or a street with one way traffic, one warning device
should be placed 10 feet to the rear of the vehicle, one device at a distance
of 100 feet and one at a distance of 200 feet in a direction toward
approaching traffic in the center of the lane or shoulder occupied by the
vehicle. https://www.markelinsurance.com
Now as defined by the Land Transportation Office of the Philippines, the early
warning device is a safety tool that provides you with the safety net by way of
added visibility especially during an emergency stop on a road. It is triangular in
shape and is made out of very reflective plastic materials. Cesar G.B. Miguel 2010
