ALL TERRAIN VEHICLE SIGNALING APPARATUS
First Claim
1. A method for communicating a fixed signal, comprising:
- receiving an input by a first transceiver associated with a first vehicle to transmit a notification signal;
transmitting the notification signal by the first transceiver;
receiving a confirmation signal from a second transceiver, the second transceiver associated with a second user of a second vehicle, the confirmation signal transmitted by the second transceiver in response to receiving the notification signal; and
providing a visual indicator by the first transceiver based on the confirmation signal.

Abstract
The present technology provides a communication system which allows a first operator of a vehicle to signal an operator of a second vehicle. The first operator may transmit a notification signal via a first transceiver to a second transceiver associated with the second operator with a specific message, such as “stop.” When the second transceiver receives the notification signal, a visual indicator may be provided to the operator of the second vehicle. The second transceiver may also automatically transmit a confirmation signal upon receiving the notification signal. By receiving the notification signal, the first user may be informed that the notification signal was received by the second transceiver. By providing for a notification signal and an automated confirmation signal in response, the present system informs the first user the confidence that his transmitted signal was received.
