Abstract
Description
Durch immer enger und dichter werdenden Strassenverkehr sinkt die Aufmerksamkeit und Wahrnehmungsfähigkeit der Verkehrsteilnehmer.As road traffic becomes ever tighter and denser, attention drops and Road users' ability to perceive.
Insbesondere auch durch ungenügende Sicherheitsabstände und verzögerte Reaktion der Verkehrsteilnehmer kommt es immer wieder zu durchaus folgenschweren Auffahrunfällen. Die bereits eingeführte dritte Bremsleuchte hat die Situation zwar verbessert, aber die Bremslichtwirkung lässt sich durch den Bremslichtblinkgeber noch deutlich steigern und die Reaktionszeit des nachfolgenden Verkehrs vermindern.In particular also due to insufficient safety distances and delayed reaction of the Road users always have serious rear-end collisions. The already introduced third brake light has improved the situation, but that Brake light effect can be significantly increased by the brake light flasher and the Reduce the response time of the following traffic.
Viele Verkehrsteilnehmer improvisieren dieses Gerät bereits heute durch mehrmaliges Antippen der Bremse, verschenken dadurch aber Reaktionszeit sowie Bremsweg.Many road users already improvise this device by repeatedly tapping the Brake, but give away reaction time and braking distance.
Eine elektronische Regelung würde schon bei einsetzender Bremswirkung die Aufmerksamkeit des nachfolgenden Verkehrs deutlich steigern.An electronic control would attract the attention of the driver when the braking effect begins subsequent traffic significantly increase.
Zwischen Bremslichtschalter und Bremslicht wird mein elektronisches Bauteil eingebaut, welches beim Bremsen die Bremslichter zunächst 3 mal (oder beliebige andere Zahl) kurz aufleuchten lässt, um dann auf Dauerlicht zu schalten, solange die Bremse getreten ist. Dieses Bauteil ist für sämtliche Kraftfahrzeuge vorgesehen. (LKW, PKW, Krad)My electronic component is installed between the brake light switch and the brake light when braking, the brake lights briefly light up 3 times (or any other number), to then switch to permanent light as long as the brake is depressed. This component is for everyone Motor vehicles provided. (Truck, car, motorcycle)
Die Signalwirkung für den folgenden Verkehr wird durch das 3 (x) malige Aufleuchten verstärkt und führt zu kürzeren Reaktionszeiten des nachfolgenden Verkehrs.The signal effect for the following traffic is strengthened by the 3 (x) lighting up and leads to shorter reaction times of the following traffic.
Bei einer evtl. defekten Bremslichtbirne schaltet sich das Gerät aus, damit durch das dann einseitige Blinken keine Verwechslung mit dem Blinker passiert.In the event of a defective brake light bulb, the device switches off so that it is unilateral Flashing no confusion with the blinker happens.
In Abstimmung mit TÜV sowie den Strassenzulassungsbehörden kann das Gerät so produziert werden, dass die Blinkwirkung erst bei einer Geschwindigkeit von x einsetzt. (z. B. ab 30 kmh) Damit würde eine "nervige" Blinkwirkung z. B. an Ampeln oder bei Stau unterbleiben.In coordination with the TÜV and the road licensing authorities, the device can be produced in this way the blinking effect only starts at a speed of x. (e.g. from 30 km / h) This would cause an "annoying" flashing effect. B. at traffic lights or in traffic jams.
Weiterhin kann u. U. die Blinkwirkung nur auf das dritte, mittlere Bremslicht geleitet werden. Das Gerät lässt sich auch nachträglich ohne Probleme in jedes KFZ einbauen.Furthermore, u. U. the blinking effect can only be directed to the third, middle brake light. The device can also be retrofitted into any vehicle without any problems.
Der Einbau dieses Gerätes sollte, ebenfalls wie das dritte Bremslicht, zur Pflicht werden.The installation of this device, like the third brake light, should become mandatory.
Claims (1)
elektronisches Bauteil, welches zwischen Bremslichtschalter und Bremslichtern eines KFZ eingebaut wird.
Das Bauteil bewirkt beim betätigen der Bremse ein mehrmaliges aufleuchten der Bremslichter, um dann bei weiterhin getretener Bremse in Dauerlicht überzugehen.
Die Blinkwirkung lässt sich auch nur auf das dritte, mittlere Bremslicht lenken.
Dies muss in Zusammenarbeit mit den Strassenverkehrszulassungsbehörden erarbeitet werden.
Die Aufmerksamkeitswirkung des nachfolgenden Verkehrs wird dadurch erheblich gesteigert und Auffahrunfälle lassen sich weiter einschränken.Brake light flasher
electronic component which is installed between the brake light switch and brake lights of a motor vehicle.
The component causes the brake lights to light up several times when the brake is applied, in order to then switch to steady light when the brake is still depressed.
The flashing effect can only be directed to the third, middle brake light.
This must be worked out in cooperation with the road traffic licensing authorities.
This significantly increases the awareness of the following traffic and rear-end collisions can be further restricted.
