Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zum automatischen Schalten einer Nebelschlussleuchte bei einem Kraftfahrzeug.The The invention relates to a method for automatically switching a Rear fog lamp in a motor vehicle.
Die Nebelschlussleuchte wird von Kraftfahrzeugführern meist bei Bedarf, insbesondere bei sehr schlechter Sicht eingeschaltet. In der Bundesrepublik Deutschland ist das Einschalten der Nebelschlussleuchte erst bei Sichtweiten von unter 50 m erlaubt, wobei die vorgeschriebene Maximalgeschwindigkeit dann 50 km/h beträgt. Häufig vergisst der Fahrer jedoch, die Nebelschlussleuchte wieder auszuschalten oder schaltet sie bereits bei zu großen Sichtweiten ein. In beiden Fällen führt die hohe Lichtleistung der Nebelschlussleuchte zu einem unangenehmen und gefährlichen Blenden des nachfolgenden Verkehrs.The Rear fog light is usually required by motor vehicle drivers, in particular switched on in very poor visibility. In the Federal Republic of Germany is the turning on the rear fog lamp only in visibility allowed under 50 m, the prescribed maximum speed then 50 km / h. Often However, the driver forgets to turn off the rear fog lamp again or Turns it on too big Visibility. In both cases leads the high light output of the rear fog lamp to an unpleasant and dangerous Dazzle the following traffic.

Gemäß der
Bei sämtlichen der bekannten Lösungen ist jedoch noch immer eine Fehlbetätigung seitens des Fahrers möglich; diese tritt in der Praxis auch des öfteren auf.at all the known solutions However, it is still a faulty operation on the part of the driver possible; This also occurs in practice often.
Es ist daher Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, ein Verfahren zum automatischen Schalten einer Nebelschlussleuchte bei einem Kraftfahrzeug zu schaffen, welches mit einer hohen Zuverlässigkeit für das korrekte Schalten der Nebelschlussleuchte in Übereinstimmung mit der StVO sorgt.It It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a method for automatic switching of a rear fog lamp in a motor vehicle to provide which with a high reliability for the correct switching of the Rear fog lamp in accordance with the StVO ensures.
Erfindungsgemäß wird diese Aufgabe durch die in Anspruch 1 genannten Merkmale gelöst.According to the invention this Problem solved by the features mentioned in claim 1.
Erfindungsgemäß wird also bei Überschreiten einer bestimmten Geschwindigkeit und eingeschalteter Nebelschlussleuchte nicht nur ein Signal für den Fahrer des Kraftfahrzeugs erzeugt, sondern es wird, wenn der Fahrer dieses Signal ignoriert, auch die Nebelschlussleuchte automatisch ausgeschaltet. Bei Überschreiten der vorgegebenen Geschwindigkeit ist nämlich davon auszugehen, dass die Bedingungen für das Einschalten der Nebelschlussleuchte nicht mehr vorliegen, so dass diese automatisch ausgeschaltet werden kann.Thus, according to the invention when crossing a certain speed and switched on rear fog light not just a signal for the driver of the motor vehicle generates, but it will, if the Driver ignores this signal, also the rear fog lamp automatically switched off. When crossing The given speed is to be assumed that the Conditions for switching on the rear fog lamp is no longer present, so that it can be switched off automatically.
Auf diese Weise wird eine Störung des nachfolgenden Verkehrs verhindert. Eine Erhöhung der Verkehrsgefährdung liegt nicht vor, da sich der Fahrer, falls er bei äußerst schlechter Sicht mit überhöhter Geschwindigkeit fährt, vom nachfolgenden Verkehr entfernt, so dass dieser durch die ausgeschaltete Nebelschlussleuchte nicht gefährdet wird.On this way becomes a disorder the subsequent traffic prevented. An increase in the traffic hazard lies not because the driver, in case of extremely poor visibility at excessive speed moves, away from the following traffic, so that this is switched off by the Rear fog lamp not endangered becomes.
In einer vorteilhaften Weiterbildung der Erfindung kann vorgesehen sein, dass ein akustisches Signal erzeugt wird.In An advantageous development of the invention can be provided be that an acoustic signal is generated.
Alternativ oder zusätzlich ist es auch möglich, dass ein optisches Signal erzeugt wird.alternative or additionally it is also possible that an optical signal is generated.
Um den Fahrer darüber zu informieren, dass die Nebenschlussleuchte ausgeschaltet wurde, kann des weiteren vorgesehen sein, dass nach dem Ausschalten der Nebelschlussleuchte ein für den Fahrer wahrnehmbares Signal erzeugt wird.Around the driver about it to inform that the shunt light has been switched off, may further be provided that after switching off the Rear fog lamp on for the driver perceivable signal is generated.
Weitere vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen und Weiterbildungen der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den restlichen Unteransprüchen. Nachfolgend ist ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung anhand der Zeichnung prinzipmäßig dargestellt.Further yield advantageous embodiments and refinements of the invention from the remaining subclaims. Below is an embodiment of the invention shown in principle with reference to the drawing.
