Description

Technical field

The technical solution is in the field of providing information on non-standard and emergency road conditions and relates to the construction of a warning signaling device, in particular to 5 legal means, such as cars.

Background Art

At the current frequency and density of traffic, unpredictable traffic situations occur, in which the possibility of driver response is time-dependent, depending on various factors such as weather conditions, such as icy or fog, or human factors, such as driver age, lack of concentration Therefore, a number of signaling systems and equipment for vehicles are being developed, the main task of which is to give early warning of the collision and emergency situation, enabling drivers to respond in a timely manner and solve the problem.

Systems are described, for example, in GB 2420404, EP 1659029, WO 2006/050741, US 2006/0100783, EP 1298625, WO 2005/010549, EP 1396833, CZ UV 11138, CZ 282128 or

CZ 285443, which monitors the distance between two vehicles, tracking in lanes or in the opposite direction, and constructing various alarms using sound or light effects, for example, directly by connecting to lamps and car headlights. The CZ UV 13827 device monitors the movement of the vehicle but only in combination with the GPS system, and the road traffic early warning system according to CZ UV 11321 warns only after a crash, which is in many cases late.

It is also known to receive and transmit CZ UV 5223 warning signals comprising a short range radio transmitter and receiver connected to a vehicle signaling circuit, the disadvantage of which is that it does not have the possibility of tuning the signal reception distance. Finally, there is known an automatic signaling device and a method for activating car alarm signals according to the published CZ PV 2003-3015, which includes an integrated type control unit powered by a constant vehicle voltage and provided with three inputs for receiving both fixed and pulsed activation signals in the form of rectangular waves and more the number of outputs connected to the vehicle warning indicators. Constant level input signals are fed to the two inputs and a square wave pulse signal is supplied to the third input, and the outputs are activated for a predetermined period of intervals that as a whole form a repeating sequence of a predetermined duration. The disadvantage of this device is the existence of only three inputs for receiving signals, which greatly limits its range of use.

The task of the technical solution is to present a new wide range of alarm signaling devices for use, based on the transmission of information between vehicles in an emergency situation or within the range of the transmitted warning signal or active stationary stations or warning triangles and other road users informed about the crisis in time.

The essence of the technical solution

This problem is solved by means of a warning signaling device, in particular a means of transport, comprising a control unit provided with inputs and outputs consisting of a complex module (SHS) comprising a control block (WCR) into which at least one is connected input signal input (1N), at least one indication and control circuit (OUT), and a transmission module (RRF-M) and an internal power supply (INT POWER) and / or an external power supply (EXT POWER).

Another essence of the solution is that the control block (WCR) is connected to the input signal (IN) via protective blocks (A).

Also, the solution is that the internal power supply (INT POWER) and / or external power supply (EXT POWER) are connected to the control block (WCR) via a control voltage block (AT

A REF) to which a transmission module (RRF-M) is also connected and that the transmission module (RRF-M) includes internal transmitter and receive circuits (1NTER ANT) and is optionally coupled to external transmitter and receiver circuits (EXT ANT).

In a preferred embodiment of the technical solution, the output indication and control circuits (DIP) are at least the signal evaluation circuitry (OUT R) and / or the signal transmission circuitry (OUT Y) and / or the data reception circuitry (OUT G) and / or circuitry initialization (OUT K) and / or circuits by activating safety measures (OUT X) and / or signaling circuits (OUT SG).

Finally, the solution is that the indication and control circuits (OUT) are connected to the active and passive security (PSB) system ports.

The present warning signaling device achieves a higher effect in that it is measured for comprehensive fleet coverage, regardless of the year of manufacture of the car, and provides direct communication between both vehicles and between vehicles and stationary stations. The solution uses a low-cost concept with a high technical level, considerable flexibility and the possibility of immediate adjustments and development according to the required conditions entered by the user. The device is compatible with GPS navigation systems, wiring and other vehicle equipment such as acoustic systems, vehicle warning lights systems, airbag initialization circuits, etc. Another advantage of the system is its versatile use, where the activation of the hazard warning device is either manually or automatically received an alarm signal from an external or internal source, or the hazard warning system is active only for the duration of the Vehicle presence within the range of the broadcast signal source. Thus equipped vehicle is both an active and passive object in the area of non-standard traffic situation.

List of drawings in the drawing

A particular embodiment of the device according to the invention is schematically shown in the attached drawing representing a block diagram of the basic embodiment of the device.

Examples of technical solutions

The device consists of a complex SHS module. which includes a WCR control block for controlling, controlling systems, receiving, processing, evaluating and collating data, to which they are connected via protection blocks A and inputs of external input signals IN, as well as series of output 30 indication and control circuits OUT, and transmission modules RRF-M for fast data transfer between stations as well as a control voltage block AT REF. The control voltage block AT REF is further connected to the internal power supply INT POWER, with the external power supply EXT

POWER, with protection blocks A, with a series of output indication and control circuits OUT and with the transmission module RRF-M, which includes the internal transmission and reception circuits INTER AN is connected to the external transmitting and receiving circuits EXT ANT. Output indication and control circuits OUT, for example, OUT R signal evaluation circuits. OUT Y signal transmission circuits, OUT G data reception circuits, OUT K initialization circuits, OUT X security measures circuits, or OUT SG signaling circuits are then connected to ports active and passive safety systems.

Comprehensive SHS module is permanently connected to the vehicle warning lights (not shown), possibly to acoustic systems or other auxiliary warning devices, to airbag initialization circuits or to other active and passive vehicle and road safety systems. The entire complex SHS module may be located internally in a vehicle or in a warning triangle or on an external stationary or mobile station, or the warning triangle may only perform the function of a warning signal transmitter. The whole device can be implemented as an interactive remote control with the option of functions.

After receiving the input signal by the complex SHS module via the external input signals IN or through the external EXT ANT transmitting and receiving circuits, or the internal ANT transmitting and receiving circuits, or by activating the SHS complex module by the driver, it is through the PSB ports.

-2GB 16985 Ul active and passive safety via WCR control block activated by hazard warning system and data transmission for alerting, alerting or non-standard situation communication to other road users is initiated by the RRF-M transmission module.

The alarm signaling system operates in essentially two modes, "zero" and "one".

The "zero" complex SHS module is in standby mode. Therefore, it is in standby mode when it does not transmit any signal regarding the range of its range, but is an active signal receiver in case of system activation. The supply voltage, either from the internal power supply INT POWER or from the external power supply EXT POWER, gains control over the WCR control block and the RRF-M transmission modules via the AT REF control voltage block in standby mode, and thus the entire system.

The "one-in-one" SHS complex module, that is, in the active alert signaling state, is either activated by the system manually or initiated by receiving a warning signal from at least one other emergency signaling station. Transfer module

The RRF-M for transmitting data between stations receives a warning signal via the INTER-INTERT transmit or receive circuit, or the external EXT ANT transmitting / receiving circuit. The RRF-M transmission module further passes this data to the WCR control block for processing, and it activates the OUT indication and control circuits through which the active and passive security PSB ports are notified. At the same time a complex module

Through the transmitter and receiver of the RRF-M transmission module, the SHS communicates with other complex SHS modules, both for their activation and for the sequencing of data stream sequences, thereby avoiding interference waves.

The described solution is not the only embodiment according to the invention, but the number of inputs of the external input signals IN may vary according to the purpose of the device, as well as the number of outputs 25 of the indication and control circuits OUT. An external EXT POWER power supply may not be connected to the device or may be connected more for backup. The device may include either only the internal INTER ANT transmitting and receiving circuit, or only the EXT ANT external transmitting and receiving circuit. Active and passive safety PSB ports do not have to be a single block and can be linked individually to a complex SHS module.

Industrial usability

The device according to the invention is usable for placement internally in a vehicle, in a warning triangle, on stationary or mobile stations, such as traffic signals, level crossings, or it may be part of navigation systems such as GPS or GALILEO.
