An intelligent turn signal control system for turning on and off left and
right turn signals in a vehicle. The system includes a computer, such as
an antilock braking system computer, with programmed software operably
disposed on a vehicle, and a driver interface switch assembly as input to
the computer. Sensors transmit angle, differential wheel movement or
related data as input to the computer, while a circuit drives turn signal
indicator lamps from conditionally computed output data from the computer
to turn on and off turn signals in a situation-appropriate manner. Upon
turn signal indication intent data input from the driver, extensive
travel and turn data is computed, including yaw rotation and steering
system position to turn off or cancel the turn signal at the appropriate
point.
