DESCRIPTIONDESCRIPTION
La présente invention concerne l'industrie automobile, l'éclairage, l'optique et la The present invention relates to the automotive industry, lighting, optics and
signalisation routière. C'est une nouvelle façon d'éclairer la chaussée pendant la nuit. road sign. It's a new way to light up the roadway at night.
Les phares des véhicules sont utiles pour voir la route. L'inconvénient de ces phares est qu'ils peuvent éblouir, faire diminuer la perception nocturne de l'environnement. Ce paradoxe génère des accidents et diminue le confort. L'éclairage urbain diminue ce contraste Vehicle headlights are useful for viewing the road. The disadvantage of these headlights is that they can dazzle, reducing the nighttime perception of the environment. This paradox generates accidents and reduces comfort. Urban lighting decreases this contrast
nuit -phares et apporte une solution. night-headlights and provides a solution.
Cet éclairage urbain ne peut pas être généralisé à toutes les voies de circulation sans poser de problèmes écologiques et esthétiques. Il reste coteux et soumis à 10 des aléas. La solution préconisée par l'invention améliore notoirement l'efficacité de la This urban lighting cannot be generalized to all traffic lanes without posing ecological and aesthetic problems. It remains expensive and subject to 10 hazards. The solution recommended by the invention markedly improves the effectiveness of the
technique actuelle.current technique.
Certains filtres optiques sélectionnent les photons en fonction de l'orientation de leur ondulation et de leur direction d'arrivée. Ces filtres sont dits polarisants. Comment éclairer la route fortement sans éblouir ?Comment, pour exemple, repérer des enfants qui 15 traversent derrière un véhicule que l'on croise ? La solution technique de l'invention est un système constitué par deux filtres à lumière disposés l'un, à la génération de l'éclairage, l'autre sur le champ de vision du conducteur (lunettes ou " casque "). Ces filtres conjugués donnent une perception nouvelle de la nuit éclairée artificiellement. En effet la solution technique interdira pratiquement au rayons lumineux de transiter directement de la source de lumière Some optical filters select photons according to the orientation of their ripple and their direction of arrival. These filters are said to be polarizing. How do you light the road strongly without dazzling, and how, for example, can you spot children crossing behind a vehicle you come across? The technical solution of the invention is a system constituted by two light filters arranged one, for the generation of lighting, the other on the field of vision of the driver (glasses or "helmet"). These combined filters give a new perception of the artificially lit night. Indeed the technical solution will practically prohibit light rays from passing directly from the light source
jusqu' à l'oeil du conducteur.up to the driver's eye.
Les dits filtres sont polarisants suivants des axes majoritairerment perpendiculaires. Said filters are polarizing following mainly perpendicular axes.
Ainsi une lumière polarisée par le filtre des phares ne traverse pas le filtre de protection visuelle. Par contre si cette lumière polarisée est réfléchie par un obstacle, elle est transformée en lumière diffuse et peut traverser le filtre de protection visuelle. Ainsi le conducteur voit la route. Il ne distingue pas la source directe de l'émission de la lumière Thus, light polarized by the headlight filter does not pass through the visual protection filter. On the other hand, if this polarized light is reflected by an obstacle, it is transformed into diffuse light and can pass through the visual protection filter. So the driver sees the road. It does not distinguish the direct source of the emission of light
(lampadaire ou véhicule arrivant en face). (lamppost or vehicle arriving opposite).
Les rétroviseurs (miroirs) doivent conserver la propriété polarisée de 30 la lumière. Les peintures des véhicules doivent permettre une bonne diffraction de la lumière polarisée afin de réverbérer une lumière non polarisée (molécules chirales et/ou diffractante). Le système modifie la manière d'éclairer et de percevoir la nuit en véhicule. Il pourra être généralisé. Il pourra s'adapter à des véhicules déjà en circulation. Le port des Mirrors must retain the polarized property of light. Vehicle paints must allow good diffraction of polarized light in order to reverberate non-polarized light (chiral and / or diffracting molecules). The system changes the way you light and perceive the night in a vehicle. It can be generalized. It will be able to adapt to vehicles already in circulation. Wearing
lunettes de protection visuelle sera généralisé. eye protection glasses will be generalized.
Les véhicules seront munis des phares de croisement (repérage) actuels que l'on percevra même avec la protection visuelle mais les phares de route -2 1 (illumination de la chaussée et des abords) seront munis d'un filtre polarisant. Des phares The vehicles will be fitted with the current low beam (locating) headlights which can be seen even with visual protection, but the main beam headlights -2 1 (illumination of the roadway and the surrounding area) will be fitted with a polarizing filter. Lighthouses
d' " appel de phare " seront non polarisé. of "headlight call" will be unpolarized.
Les schémas présentent les divers cheminements de la lumière quand un véhicule en croise un autre, sa composition, sa filtration et la perception résultante pour le conducteur. Un mode de fabrication consiste à positionner les filtres sur des phares de voiture et de les axer The diagrams show the various paths of light when a vehicle crosses another, its composition, its filtration and the resulting perception for the driver. One manufacturing method consists in positioning the filters on car headlights and in orienting them
de manière à ne plus percevoir la lumière directe lorsque l'on porte des lunettes polarisées. so as to no longer perceive direct light when wearing polarized glasses.
On pourra optimiser à loisir le pourcentage de polarisation des deux filtres pour obtenir le The percentage of polarization of the two filters can be optimized at leisure to obtain the
confort et la sécurité souhaitable. comfort and security desirable.
Les systèmes de signalisation routière seront munis d'une couche réverbérante ainsi que 10 d'une couche dépolarisante suivant des axes fonction du filtre du champs de vision permettant de mettre en valeur les inscriptions et le balisage d'une manière générale. Ces The road signaling systems will be provided with a reverberant layer as well as with a depolarizing layer along axes depending on the filter of the field of vision making it possible to enhance the inscriptions and the markings in general. These
filtres n'auront d'effet que si le système de vision et d'éclairage polarisé est mis en oeuvre. filters will only have an effect if the polarized vision and lighting system is used.
Selon des mode particuliers de réalisation: According to particular embodiments:
-Les conducteurs porteront des lunettes à filtre polarisant (ou un casque de protection 15 portant un filtre polarisant). - Drivers will wear polarized filter glasses (or a protective helmet 15 wearing a polarizing filter).
-Le filtre des phares et celui du champ de vision seront orientés de telle sorte que la plus -The headlight filter and the field of vision filter will be oriented so that the most
grande partie de la lumière polarisée soit absorbée par les filtres du champs de vision. much of the polarized light is absorbed by the filters in the field of vision.
Le filtre du générateur de lumière se situera près de la source et sur l'émetteur. The light generator filter will be located near the source and on the emitter.
-La lumière non polarisée traversera en grande partie le filtre du champs de vision. 20 - Il est possible que certains éclairages urbains soient munis de filtres afin d'éviter l'éblouissement des conducteurs. (par exemple éclairage public, traversée piétonnes, -Non-polarized light will largely pass through the field of view filter. 20 - It is possible that certain urban lighting may be fitted with filters to avoid the glare of conductors. (for example public lighting, pedestrian crossing,
croisements délicats).delicate crosses).

-Les véhicules seront munis éventuellement de peinture portant une couche translucide -Vehicles may be provided with paint bearing a translucent layer
légèrement opacifiante, réverbérant et dépolarisant la lumière. slightly opacifying, reverberating and depolarizing light.
-Les marquages au sol seront munis de facette réverbérantes doublée d'une couche -The markings on the ground will be provided with a reverberant facet lined with a layer
