Description
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zur selbsttätigen Schaltung des Fernlichts eines Kraftfahrzeugs, wobei nach einer erfolgten Einschaltung des Fernlichts durch den Fahrzeugführer abhängig von einer erkannten Position des Kraftfahrzeugs eine selbsttätige Ausschaltung des Fernlichts erfolgt nach dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1.The invention relates to a method for automatic Switching the high beam of a motor vehicle, according to a the high beam is switched on by the driver depending on a recognized position of the motor vehicle the high beam is switched off automatically after Preamble of claim 1.
Es ist bereits ein derartiges Verfahren bekannt (US-PS 5,247,440), wonach eine Ortsbestimmung erfolgt mittels eines GPS-Systems. Über eine digitalisierte Straßenkarte ist daraus die Position des Kraftfahrzeugs ableitbar. Weiterhin ergibt sich aus dieser Ortsangabe auch die Zeitzone, in der sich das Kraftfahrzeug befindet. Entsprechend den an dem jeweiligen Ort geltenden gesetzlichen Bestimmungen soll dann eine Einschaltung des entsprechenden Lichts erfolgen. Im Zusammenhang mit einem vom Fahrzeugführer eingeschalteten Fernlicht würde das beispielsweise bedeuten, daß eine selbsttätige Ausschaltung des Fernlichts erfolgt, wenn aufgrund der erkannten Position des Kraftfahrzeugs erkannt wird, daß das Kraftfahrzeug durch eine geschlossene Ortschaft fährt.Such a method is already known (US-PS 5,247,440), after which a location is determined by means of a GPS system. Using a digitized road map is the result the position of the motor vehicle can be derived. Furthermore results the time zone in which the Motor vehicle is located. Corresponding to that at the respective place applicable statutory provisions should then be activated of the appropriate light. In connection with a high beam switched on by the driver would for example, mean that an automatic shutdown of the High beam occurs when, based on the recognized position of the Motor vehicle is recognized that the motor vehicle by a closed village drives.
Aus der DE 195 48 487 A1 ist es weiterhin bekannt, aufgrund der erkannten Position des Kraftfahrzeugs die Einstellung des Lichts von Kraftfahrzeugen so vorzunehmen, wie dies aufgrund der erkannten Position sinnvoll ist. Es ist zum Beispiel eine Einstellung für Landstraßenlicht vorgesehen, eine Einstellung für. Kurvenlicht (mit entsprechend verschwenkten Lichtkegeln), eine Einstellung für Stadtlicht, eine Einstellung für Autobahnlicht und diverse weitere Einstellmöglichkeiten.From DE 195 48 487 A1 it is also known due to the recognized position of the motor vehicle the setting of the To make light from motor vehicles as is due to this the recognized position makes sense. For example, it is one Highway light setting provided, one setting For. Cornering light (with correspondingly swung light cones), a setting for city light, a setting for Motorway lights and various other setting options.
Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es, den situationsbezogenen Schaltzustand des Fernlichts von Kraftfahrzeugen zu verbessern.The object of the present invention is that situation-related switching state of the high beam from To improve motor vehicles.
Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß nach Anspruch 1 gelöst, indem weiterhin eine selbsttätige Ausschaltung des Fernlichts erfolgt, wenn erkannt wird, daß das eigene Kraftfahrzeug von einem anderen Fahrzeug überholt wird und/oder daß sich ein anderes Kraftfahrzeug vor dem eigenen Kraftfahrzeug befindet. In diesem Fall muß das Fernlicht ausgeschaltet sein.This object is achieved according to claim 1, by continuing to switch off the main beam automatically takes place when it is recognized that the own motor vehicle from another vehicle is overtaken and / or that a another motor vehicle is in front of your own motor vehicle. In this case the high beam must be switched off.
Vorteilhaft erfolgt dies bei Erkennen einer derartigen Situation selbsttätig, um den Fahrzeugführer zu entlasten.This is advantageously done when such a signal is detected Situation automatically to relieve the driver.
Es erfolgt also eine Ausschaltung nicht nur abhängig von der erkannten Fahrzeugposition wie dies aus dem Stand der Technik bekannt ist sondern auch abhängig von bestimmten Verkehrssituationen.It is therefore not only switched off depending on the recognized vehicle position like this from the prior art is known but also dependent on certain Traffic situations.
Bei dem Verfahren nach Anspruch 2 wird die Sensorik zur Erkennung, ob sich ein anderes Kraftfahrzeug vor dem eigenen Fahrzeug befindet, weiterhin zur Regelung des Abstandes zwischen Kraftfahrzeugen verwendet.In the method according to claim 2, the sensor system is used Detection of whether another motor vehicle is in front of your own Vehicle is located, continue to regulate the distance used between motor vehicles.
Derartige Systeme sind in jüngerer Zeit bekannt worden zur Unterstützung des Fahrzeugführers. Bei einem derartigen System wird mittels einer Radaranordnung ausgewertet, ob sich Gegenstände, die vor dem Fahrzeug erkannt werden, bewegen oder stehen. Weiterhin soll mit derartigen Systemen erkannt werden, ob sich die erkannten Hindernisse in der Fahrspur des Kraftfahrzeugs befinden. Aus den Informationen, die über eine solche Sensorik zur Verfügung stehen, läßt sich also auch ableiten, ob das Fernlicht des Kraftfahrzeugs selbsttätig ausgeschaltet werden soll, weil sich vor dem Kraftfahrzeug ein anderes Fahrzeug befindet. Im Unterschied zur Abstandsregelung wird bei der selbsttätigen Ausschaltung des Fernlichts nicht unterschieden, ob es sich um ein entgegenkommendes Fahrzeug oder ein in derselben Fahrtrichtung fahrendes Fahrzeug handelt und ob sich dieses weiterhin in derselben Fahrspur befindet. Für die vorliegende Anwendung genügt es, zu erkennen, ob sich überhaupt vor dem eigenen Kraftfahrzeug ein anderes fahrendes Fahrzeug befindet.Such systems have recently been known for Support the driver. With such a system is evaluated by means of a radar arrangement, whether Objects that are recognized in front of the vehicle move or stand. Systems of this type should also be used to recognize whether the detected obstacles in the lane of the Motor vehicle are. From the information about a Such sensors are also available derive whether the high beam of the motor vehicle automatically should be turned off because in front of the motor vehicle other vehicle. In contrast to the distance control is not when the high beam is switched off automatically distinguished whether it is an oncoming vehicle or a vehicle traveling in the same direction of travel and whether it is still in the same lane. For the present application, it is sufficient to recognize whether any other driving in front of your own motor vehicle Vehicle is located.
Bei dem Verfahren nach Anspruch 3 wird die Sensorik zur Erkennung, ob das eigene Kraftfahrzeug von einem anderen Fahrzeug überholt wird, weiterhin zur Parkplatzsuche bzw. zur Unterstützung und/oder Durchführung eines Einparkvorgangs verwendet.In the method according to claim 3, the sensor system for Detection of whether the own motor vehicle from another Vehicle is overhauled, continue to search for a parking space or Support and / or implementation of a parking process used.
Derartige Systeme arbeiten überwiegend mit Infrarot oder Ultraschall und dienen der Auflösung von Hindernissen im Nahbereich des Fahrzeugs. Indem die Sensoren so angeordnet werden, daß sie auch seitlich vom Fahrzeug abstrahlen, kann erkannt werden, ob das eigene Kraftfahrzeug gerade von einem anderen Fahrzeug überholt wird.Such systems mainly work with infrared or Ultrasound and serve to resolve obstacles in the Close range of the vehicle. By arranging the sensors so that they can also radiate from the side of the vehicle can be recognized whether the own motor vehicle is currently from one another vehicle is overtaken.
Zur Vermeidung von Irritationen des Fahrzeugführers ist es dann vorteilhaft, oberhalb bestimmter Geschwindigkeitsschwellwerte keine Warnfunktion auszugeben, wenn mittels der Sensorik ein Hindernis erkannt wurde, weil es sich dann nämlich um ein überholendes Fahrzeug handelt.It is then to avoid irritation to the driver advantageous above certain speed thresholds no warning function to be output if by means of the sensor system Obstacle was recognized because it is then a overtaking vehicle.
Bei dem Verfahren nach Anspruch 4 erfolgt die selbsttätige Ausschaltung, indem die Leuchtstärke des Fernlichts in einem vorgegebenen Zeitintervall auf 0 reduziert wird.In the method according to claim 4, the automatic Switch off by changing the luminosity of the high beam in one predetermined time interval is reduced to 0.
Dabei erweist es sich als vorteilhaft, daß sich die Sichtverhältnisse für den Fahrzeugführer nicht überraschend und abrupt ändern, sondern daß sich der Fahrzeugführer auf die geringere Ausleuchtung der Umgebung einstellen kann. It proves to be advantageous that the Visibility for the driver is not surprising and change abruptly, but that the driver is on the can set less illumination of the environment.
Irritationen des Fahrzeugführers können dadurch vorteilhaft vermieden werden.This can advantageously irritate the driver be avoided.
Bei dem Verfahren nach Anspruch 5 wird die Länge des vorgegebenen Zeitintervalls abhängig von der Fahrzeuggeschwindigkeit festgelegt.In the method according to claim 5, the length of the predetermined time interval depending on the Vehicle speed set.
Bei einer größeren Fahrzeuggeschwindigkeit wird die Wegstrecke, die der Fahrzeugführer im Blick hat, weiter nach vorn orientiert sein als bei einer geringeren Fahrzeuggeschwindigkeit. Vorteilhaft wird also auch bei einer größeren Fahrzeuggeschwindigkeit das vorgegebene Zeitintervall entsprechend größer gewählt.With a higher vehicle speed, the distance that the driver has in view, further forward be oriented than with a smaller one Vehicle speed. It is also advantageous for one larger vehicle speed the specified time interval chosen accordingly larger.
Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung ist in der Zeichnung näher dargestellt. Die Figur zeigt dabei ein Ablaufdiagramm des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens, welches von einem zentralen Steuerungsprogramm vorwiegend zyklisch angestoßen wird.An embodiment of the invention is in the drawing shown in more detail. The figure shows a flow chart of the inventive method, which is from a central Control program is triggered mainly cyclically.
In dem Schritt 101 wird dabei der Durchlauf des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens gestartet. Für die Bedienung des Fernlichts des Kraftfahrzeugs kann ein Bedienelement vorhanden sein, das mehrere Schaltstellungen aufweist. Bei einer der Schaltstellungen ist das Fernlicht dauerhaft ausgeschaltet. Es kann eine weitere Schaltstellung vorgesehen sein, bei der das Fernlicht dauerhaft eingeschaltet ist. In einer weiteren Schaltstellung kann das Fernlicht kurzzeitig ausgelöst werden. Weiterhin kann eine Schaltstellung vorhanden sein, bei der das Fernlicht eingeschaltet ist, wobei aber weiterhin überprüft wird, ob aufgrund der Position des Fahrzeugs bzw. der Verkehrssituation eine Ausschaltung des Fernlichts erfolgen muß.In step 101 , the execution of the method according to the invention is started. For the operation of the high beam of the motor vehicle, an operating element can be present which has several switching positions. The main beam is permanently switched off in one of the switch positions. A further switching position can be provided in which the high beam is switched on permanently. In a further switch position, the high beam can be triggered briefly. There may also be a switch position in which the high beam is switched on, but it is also checked whether the high beam has to be switched off due to the position of the vehicle or the traffic situation.
Bei dem beschriebenen Verfahrensdurchlauf ist das Bedienelement in dieser zuletzt beschriebenen Schaltstellung. The control element is in the described process run in this switch position described last.
Zunächst wird in dem Schritt 102 geprüft, ob sich das Kraftfahrzeug innerhalb einer geschlossenen Ortschaft befindet. Dies kann beispielsweise mittels eines GPS-Systems und einer digitalisierten Straßenkarte erfolgen. Ebenso kann dies auch bei einer Vorbeifahrt an einem Ortsschild erkannt werden, indem an den Ortsschildern ein Sender angebracht ist, dessen Signal von einem fahrzeugseitigen Empfänger empfangen und entsprechend ausgewertet wird.First, in step 102 it is checked whether the motor vehicle is located in a closed town. This can be done, for example, using a GPS system and a digitized road map. Likewise, this can also be recognized when driving past a town sign, in that a transmitter is attached to the town signs, the signal of which is received by a vehicle-side receiver and evaluated accordingly.
Wenn also im Schritt 102 erkannt wird, daß das Fahrzeug innerhalb einer geschlossenen Ortschaft fährt, erfolgt ein Übergang zu dem Schritt 103, in dem abhängig von der momentanen Fahrzeuggeschwindigkeit eine Zeitkonstante festgelegt wird, innerhalb der die Lichtstärke des Fernlichts gleichmäßig auf Null reduziert wird. Dies wird dann in dem Schritt 104 ausgeführt. Durch die Ausschaltung des Fernlichts mit dieser Zeitkonstante können Irritationen des Fahrzeugführers vermieden werden, die eventuell auftreten könnten, wenn das Fernlicht abrupt abgeschaltet würde.If it is thus recognized in step 102 that the vehicle is traveling within a closed town, a transition is made to step 103 , in which a time constant is determined depending on the current vehicle speed, within which the light intensity of the high beam is reduced uniformly to zero. This is then carried out in step 104 . Switching off the high beam at this time constant can avoid irritation to the driver, which could possibly occur if the high beam were switched off abruptly.
Wenn in dem Schritt 102 erkannt wurde, daß das Fahrzeug außerhalb einer geschlossenen Ortschaft fährt (beispielsweise auch auf einer Autobahn, die durch ein Stadtgebiet führt) erfolgt ein Übergang zu dem Schritt 105, in dem überprüft wird, ob das Fahrzeug gerade von einem anderen Fahrzeug überholt wird.If it was recognized in step 102 that the vehicle is driving outside a closed town (for example, also on a freeway that leads through an urban area), a transition is made to step 105 , in which it is checked whether the vehicle is currently from another vehicle is overtaken.
Dies kann beispielsweise mittels einer Sensorik festgestellt werden, die im Zusammenhang mit der Unterstützung oder Durchführung eines Einparkvorgangs Verwendung findet. Diese Sensorik arbeitet auf Infrarot oder Ultraschallbasis und dient der Vermessung von Abständen zu anderen Objekten. Mittels einer solchen Sensorik kann erkannt werden, ob das Fahrzeug von einem anderen Fahrzeug überholt wird. Ist dies der Fall, erfolgt wiederum ein Übergang zu dem Schritt 103. This can be determined, for example, by means of a sensor system which is used in connection with the support or implementation of a parking process. This sensor system works on the basis of infrared or ultrasound and is used to measure distances to other objects. Such a sensor system can be used to detect whether the vehicle is being overtaken by another vehicle. If this is the case, a step is made again to step 103 .
Andernfalls erfolgt ein Übergang zu dem Schritt 106, in dem überprüft wird, ob sich in dem Bereich vor dem Kraftfahrzeug ein anderes Fahrzeug befindet, das in Fahrt ist. Dies kann beispielsweise mittels einer Sensorik zur Abstandsregelung auf andere Fahrzeuge erkannt werden.Otherwise, a transition is made to step 106 , in which it is checked whether there is another vehicle in the area in front of the motor vehicle that is in motion. This can be detected, for example, by means of a sensor system for controlling the distance to other vehicles.
Ist dies der Fall, erfolgt ein Übergang zu Schritt 103.If this is the case, a transition is made to step 103 .
Andernfalls erfolgt ein Übergang zu Schritt 107, in dem das Fernlicht eingeschaltet bleibt, wenn es eingeschaltet war, bzw. in dem das Fernlicht wieder eingeschaltet wird, wenn sich das Bedienelement in der beschriebenen Schaltstellung befindet und bei einem vorhergehenden Durchlauf des Verfahrens eine Ausschaltung in dem Schritt 104 erfolgte.Otherwise, a transition is made to step 107 , in which the high beam remains switched on if it was switched on, or in which the high beam is switched on again when the control element is in the switch position described and, in the case of a previous run of the method, it is switched off in the Step 104 was done.
