Abstract

The lamp has two light panels arranged adjacent or on top of each other, where one of the light panels corresponds to the brake lamp and responds with activation of a brake pedal. The light panel serves as reference for the other calibrated indicating light panel, which is provided with a set of lighting elements e.g. LED. The both light panels are designed in form of joists, and the lighting elements of both the light panels are illuminated in different colors with rapid blink frequency during full brake application.

Description

Für die Sicherheit im Straßenverkehr sind Informationen darüber, welche Aktionen andere Verkehrsteilnehmer durchführen bzw. beabsichtigen, von elementarer Bedeutung.For securitiy purposes in traffic are information about which actions other road users carry out or intend to take elementary meaning.

Ausdruck dieses Informationsbedürfnisses sind neben den Blinkleuchten zur Anzeige eines bevorstehenden Richtungswechsels vor allem die Bremsleuchten.Expression this information need are next to the flashing lights to indicate an impending change of direction especially the brake lights.

Die derzeit gesetzlich vorgeschrieben Bremsleuchten zeigen aber im allgemeinen nur an, daß ein Fahrer bremst – nicht jedoch, mit welcher Intensität er dies tut.The currently legally required brake lights show but in general only on that one Driver brakes - not however, with what intensity he does this.

Insofern unterscheidet sich die Funktion der Bremsleuchten wesentlich von derjenigen der Bremsanlage selber. Denn die Technik beliebiger KFZ-Bremsvorrichtungen funktioniert prinzipiell so, daß der Fahrer die Intensität des Bremsvorganges graduell abstufen kann. In der Regel erfolgt diese Graduierung durch den Druck auf das Bremspedal, bei Motorrädern auch durch die Betätigung des Bremshandgriffs. Die durch Hand oder Fuß aufgewandte Kraft wird dann entweder direkt oder über ein Verstärkersystem in den entsprechenden Bremsdruck umgesetzt.insofar The function of the brake lights differs significantly from that of the brake system itself. Because the technology of any car brake devices works in principle so that the Driver the intensity of the braking process can graduate gradually. Usually done this graduation by the pressure on the brake pedal, with motorcycles too through the operation the brake handle. The force applied by hand or foot then becomes either directly or via an amplifier system converted into the appropriate brake pressure.

Die Funktion der Bremsleuchte in ihrer gesetzlich vorgeschriebenen Form ist jedoch nicht bremskraftabhängig gesteuert. Vielmehr spricht sie in der Regel schon dann an, wenn zwar das Bremspedal geringfügig betätigt wurde, jedoch die Bremsen noch gar nicht greifen.The Function of the brake light in its legally prescribed form However, it is not brake-dependent controlled. Rather, it usually speaks to when Although the brake pedal slightly actuated but the brakes did not work yet.

Dies ist unter normalen Umständen durchaus sinnvoll. Der nachfolgende Fahrer kann daraus ersehen, daß eine Reduzierung der Geschwindigkeit entweder gerade erfolgt oder zumindest beabsichtigt ist, und kann sich darauf einstellen. Die Häufigkeit, mit der das geschieht, gewöhnt ihn jedoch daran, daß ein Aufleuchten der Bremslichter in der Regel nicht auf eine gefährliche Situation hindeutet.This is under normal circumstances quite reasonable. The following driver can see that that one Speed reduction either straight or at least is intended and can adapt to it. The frequency, with that happens, get used to it him, however, that a Lighting up the brake lights usually does not indicate a dangerous one Situation indicates.

Dennoch ist das Empfinden weit verbreitet, daß die Heck-Bremsleuchten in ihrer derzeit gesetzlich vorgeschriebenen Form nicht ausreichen. Dies hat in den letzten Jahren dazu geführt, daß zahlreiche PKW heute mit einer zusätzlichen dritten Bremsleuchte ausgestattet sind. Da diese jedoch gemeinsam mit den beiden Heckleuchten in Funktion tritt, übermittelt sie keine qualitativ über die von den gesetzlich vorgeschriebenen Bremsleuchten abgegebenen hinausgehende Informationen. Die nach wie vor hohe Zahl von Auffahrunfällen zeigt, daß die Informationen über Situation und Aktionen vorausfahrender Kraftfahrzeuge vor allem in Extremsituationen nach wie vor nicht ausreichen.Yet is the feeling widespread that the rear brake lights in their current legal form is not sufficient. This has led in recent years to many cars today an additional one third brake light are equipped. But these are common With the two taillights in function, it does not transmit qualitatively over the from the legally prescribed brake lights submitted beyond Information. The still high number of rear-end collisions shows that the information about Situation and actions of leading vehicles above all in extreme situations are still insufficient.

Dies gilt besonders dann, wenn schlechte Sicht und/oder Dunkelheit, schnelles Fahren und geringer Sicherheitsabstand zusammentreffen, erst recht dann, wenn nasse oder eisglatte Fahrbahn den erforderlichen Bremsweg verlängern.This is especially true when poor visibility and / or darkness, fast Driving and a small safety distance meet, especially then, if wet or icy slippery road the required braking distance extend.

In einer solchen Situation ist es für einen Fahrer zwar ein Warnsignal, wenn die Bremslichter eines vor ihm fahrenden Fahrzeuges aufleuchten. Je nach Einschätzung der Lage wird er darauf entweder mit erhöhter Aufmerksamkeit reagieren, oder aber ebenfalls mit dem Einleiten eines Bremsvorganges. Mit einer sofortigen Vollbremsung reagiert er aber in der Regel erst dann, wenn er erkannt hat, daß es sich auch bei der Aktion des vor ihm fahrenden Fahrzeuges um eine Vollbremsung handelt oder sich sonstwie eindeutig eine Gefahrensituation abzeichnet. Die Sekundenbruchteile, die dabei gegebenenfalls verloren gehen, wären in vielen Fällen ausreichend, um einen Unfall zu vermeiden. Es muß daher das Ziel sein, das nachfolgenden Fahrzeug ohne Verzögerung über die Intensität einer Bremsung des vor ihm fahrenden Fahrzeuges zu informieren.In Such a situation is for A warning signal to a driver when the brake lights are on light up him driving vehicle. Depending on the assessment of Situation he will respond to this either with increased attention, or also with the initiation of a braking process. With However, he usually reacts to immediate emergency braking when he realizes that it is also in the action of the vehicle in front of him to one Full braking is or otherwise clearly a dangerous situation looming. The fractions of a second, possibly lost go, would be in many cases sufficient to avoid an accident. It must therefore be the goal that following vehicle without delay over the intensity to inform a brake of the vehicle driving in front of him.

Einige Hersteller bieten inzwischen eine zusätzliche Bremsleuchte an, die bei Vollbremsung blinkt. Dies ist zweifellos ein Fortschritt. Angesichts der Wichtigkeit, die das Bremsverhalten vorausfahrender Fahrzeuge für den nachfolgenden Verkehr hat, ist dieses Mehr an Information jedoch noch nicht ausreichend.Some Manufacturers now offer an additional brake light, the at full braking flashes. This is undoubtedly progress. Given the Importance, the braking behavior of preceding vehicles for the subsequent Traffic, this additional information is not sufficient.

In der Literatur bekannt ist weiterhin eine Bremsleuchte, die in abgestufter Form über die ausgeübte Bremskraft informiert, und zwar dadurch, daß die Bremsleuchte aus mehreren Lampen besteht, von denen mit zunehmender Bremskraft eine zunehmende Anzahl anspricht.In The literature is known to continue to be a stop light, which is graded Shape over the exercised Braking informed, and in fact by the fact that the brake light from several Lamps consists of which with increasing braking force an increasing Number appeals.

Auch diese Konstruktion ist jedoch nicht ausreichend, weil sie nicht unmittelbar und sinnfällig verdeutlicht, wie schwach oder wie stark im Vergleich zu einer Vollbremsung gegebenenfalls ein Bremsvorgang ist.Also However, this construction is not sufficient because they are not immediate and obvious illustrates how weak or how strong compared to full braking optionally a braking operation.

Die hier vorgestellte adaptive Bremsleuchte informiert den nachfolgenden Fahrer nicht nur über die Einleitung eines Bremsvorganges zum einen, die Vollbremsung zum anderen, sondern gibt ihm jederzeit und auf sinnfällige Weise eine abgestufte Information über die Intensität eines jeden Bremsvorganges.The here presented adaptive brake light informs the following Driver not only about the Initiation of a braking process on the one hand, the full braking to others, but gives it at all times and in a meaningful way a graduated information about the intensity every braking process.

Dazu besteht sie aus zwei Teilen. Eine sich anbietende Form, die im folgenden beschrieben wird, besteht in zwei über- oder nebeneinander angeordneten Balken. Doch sind prinzipiell auch andere Formen möglich.To it consists of two parts. An offering form that follows is described, consists in two above or next to each other Bar. But in principle, other forms are possible.

Einer dieser Balken (in 1 der obere) hat die Funktion der normalen Bremsleuchte, d. h. er spricht bereits bei der bloßen Betätigung des Bremspedals in seiner gesamten Fläche an.One of these bars (in 1 the upper one) has the function of the normal brake light, that he speaks already at the mere actuation of the brake pedal in its entire surface.

Damit gilt er gleichzeitig als Referenz für den (in der Zeichnung) darunterliegenden Balken.In order to At the same time, it is the reference for the underlying one (in the drawing) Bar.

Diese benachbarte zweite Leuchtfläche, in der Form an die erste angepaßt (und in 1, 2 und 3 unter dieser befindlich), besteht aus mehreren Leuchtelementen (Lampen oder LEDs), von denen jeweils so viele aufleuchten, wie es der ausgeübten Bremskraft entspricht.This adjacent second luminous surface, adapted in shape to the first (and in 1 . 2 and 3 Below this), consists of several lighting elements (lamps or LEDs), each of which illuminate as many as it corresponds to the applied braking force.

Bei schwächerem Bremsen (siehe 1) leuchtet nur ein kleines Teilsegment der zweiten, "adaptiven" Leuchtfläche.For weaker braking (see 1 ) illuminates only a small subsegment of the second, "adaptive" illuminated area.

Bei mittelstarkem Bremsen (siehe 2) leuchten mehrere Segmente.For moderate braking (see 2 ) light up several segments.

Bei Vollbremsung leuchten (siehe 3) alle Segmente auf. Der zusätzliche Einsatz einer schnellen Blinkfrequenz bei einer Vollbremsung bietet sich auch hierbei an.At full braking light up (see 3 ) all segments. The additional use of a fast flashing frequency during full braking is also useful here.

Die zunehmende Bremskraft kann gegebenenfalls durch eine verstärkte Leuchtkraft der Leuchtelemente der graduierend anzeigenden Fläche zusätzlich verdeutlicht werden.The Increasing braking force may be due to increased luminosity the luminous elements of the graduated indicating surface additionally clarified become.

Neben der Form benachbarter Balken sind prinzipiell auch andere Formen möglich. Eine davon zeigt 4: Hierbei bildet die bei jedem Bremsvorgang komplett aufleuchtende Leuchtfläche den Rahmen eines Rechteckes, dessen innere Flache als adaptive Leuchtfläche je nach ausgeübter Bremskraft zu einem geringen Teil, zu einem größeren Teil oder – bei Vollbremsung – mit der gesamten Fläche aufleuchtet. – Statt eines Rechteckes sind auch ovale oder sonstige Formen möglich.In addition to the shape of adjacent beams, other shapes are possible in principle. One of them shows 4 : In this case, the luminous area which illuminates completely during each braking process forms the frame of a rectangle whose inner surface illuminates as an adaptive luminous area depending on the braking force exerted to a small extent, to a greater extent or - in the event of emergency braking - with the entire surface. - Instead of a rectangle, oval or other shapes are possible.

Um dem nachfolgenden Fahrzeug den adaptiven Charakter der Bremsleuchte zu signalisieren, ist es sinnvoll, daß beide Leuchtflächen in einem unterschiedlichen Farbton aufleuchten.Around the adaptive character of the brake light to the following vehicle to signal, it makes sense that both illuminated areas in light up a different color.

Weiterhin empfiehlt es sich, für die adaptive Leuchtfläche optisch den Charakter von Segmenten deutlich zu machen, beispielsweise durch eingearbeitete lichtundurchlässige Zwischenstücke. Beides – der unterschiedliche Farbton und die segmentale Akzentuierung – kann dazu dienen, dem nachfolgenden Fahrzeug den besonderen Charakter der adaptiven Bremse sinnfällig zu machen.Farther it is recommended for the adaptive illuminated area visually to make clear the character of segments, for example through incorporated opaque intermediate pieces. Both - the different Tint and segmental accentuation - may serve the following Vehicle to the special character of the adaptive brake obvious do.

Darüberhinaus empfiehlt sich ein zusätzlicher Hinweis auf die neue Technik der Bremsleuchte am Heck des Fahrzeuges, beispielsweise in Form eines bei Dunkelheit und/oder beim Bremsvorgang leuchtenden Symbols mit den Buchstaben "ABL" für "Adaptive Bremsleuchte".Furthermore We recommend an additional Reference to the new technology of the brake light at the rear of the vehicle, for example, in the form of a glowing in the dark and / or during braking Symbols with the letters "ABL" for "Adaptive Stop Light".

Die Steuerung der hier beschriebenen adaptive Bremsleuchte kann entweder direkt an die Umsetzung des vom Fahrer ausgeübten Bremsdrucks in die von den Bremsen erzeugte Bremskraft gekoppelt sein, oder aber sie kann über ein eigenes Meßsystem ansprechen, beispielsweise über einen im Bremszylinder eingebauten speziellen Drucksensor. Als "Vollbremsung" ist dabei je nach Fahrzeugtyp derjenige Bremsdruck anzunehmen, bei dem die Bremsen bei normalen Straßenverhältnissen blockieren, oder aber – sofern das Fahrzeug mit ABS ausgestattet ist – bei dem das ABS anspricht.The Control of the adaptive brake light described here can either directly to the implementation of the brake pressure exerted by the driver in the of be coupled to the brakes generated braking force, or they can on a address your own measuring system, for example about a built-in brake cylinder special pressure sensor. As "full braking" is depending on Vehicle type to adopt that brake pressure at which the brakes in normal road conditions block, or - if the vehicle is equipped with ABS - in which the ABS responds.
