DE102011120598A1 - Method for indexing turning intention of vehicle, involves forming arrow-like illuminating structure orienting towards left and right, which consists of two illuminating lines - Google Patents

Abstract

The method involves forming an arrow-like illuminating structure orienting towards left and right, which consists of two illuminating lines. The end points of the illuminating lines are separated from each other from one side of the illuminating lines and amongst others places on or near a central symmetry axis line of the body. The illuminating lines blink periodically and are synchronized with the normal illumination lamps. Independent claims are included for the following: (1) a device for indexing the reversal intention of a vehicle; and (2) a method for indexing the stopping intention of a vehicle.

Description

The lighting signals of a vehicle are generally known, which testify to the intentions of a driver to carry out any maneuvering. These include the signals "the turn to the right or to the left", "stop", "continue".

The disadvantage of o. G. Method and devices is a major limitation on the visibility of these signals, especially from the front in the dark, because the headlights shine much more bright, the relatively cloudy turn lighting signals. In addition, under the shining sun, the o. G. Turn lighting signals on a bright background reason relatively difficult to recognize.

The invention specified in the claims 1 to 8 is based on the problem of enabling a more clear and easy & quickly recognizable indexing of Manövrierensbedichtigungen the vehicle, and thereby improve road safety.

This problem is solved by the features listed in the patent claims 1 to 8.

The advantages achieved by the invention are in particular that, despite the usual technical obstacles to the detection of signals and position (such as a dazzling light of the headlight of the Oncoming vehicle at night, a bright environment under the sun shining , the limited view from the driver's seat, etc.), the traffic situation safely and quickly recognize.

The embodiments of the invention are illustrated in the drawings and will be described in more detail below.

Show it:

1a shows schematically, as seen from the front in the dark, an oncoming vehicle without the turning lights. Because in the dark there is a big and sharp difference in light between the light coming out of the headlight areas 1 and from the body surface 2 comes, an oncoming driver in the dark sees only the two glowing headlight surfaces 1 , The next to the headlights 1 placed turning lights 3 ( 1b and 1c ) are also less luminous, the headlights 1 , Thus these turning lights are 3 only badly recognizable. Man recognizes this more or less sure only 1) (main reason) because of the flashing working regime of this turn lighting, 2) because the body is also with the other side reversing lights 4 equipped on the left (or right) side of the body, and at the right and left rearview mirrors 5 3) because this turn lighting usually has the red color, in comparison with the wise (all-spectrum) color of the headlamps.

To improve the visibility of the turn lighting, you can turn a vehicle 16 index with the arrow-like lighting, which is also well visible next to and in spite of the brightly lit headlights.

• 1) ein Kopf-Teil 17, das durch die eingeschalteten (u. a. auch blinkenden) Leuchtlinien 6 formiert ist. Dieses Kopf-Teil kann auch die üblichen blinkenden Wendelämpchen 3 bzw. 5 und einen permanent (nicht blinkend) scheinender Scheinwerfer 1a enthalten;
• 2) ein Fuß-Teil 18, das durch einen permanent (nicht blinkend) scheinenden Scheinwerfer 1b (i. e. „Fuß” 7F) und ein dunkles Intervall 19 zwischen diesem Scheinwerfer 1b (Fuß 7F) und der Symmetrieachse 20 formiert ist. (Oder mit anderen Worten, bildet der Scheinwerfer 1b einen, am gewissen Abstand platzierten, „Fuß” 7F des Pfeils, und somit enthält das Fuß-Teil 18 einen permanent (nicht blinkend) leuchtenden Scheinwerfer 1b und einen dunklen Zwischenraum 19 zwischen diesem Scheinwerfer und Fahrzeugssymmetrieachse 20.

2a schematically shows a possible embodiment of this arrow-type lighting. The glowing lines (or glowing stripes) 6 . amongst other things 6a - 6z , (in further than the "light lines" 6 called) form an easily recognizable (even in the dark easily recognizable from the front), arrow-like lighting structure 7 , with a headlight 1a and a side-placing usual lighting lamps 3 together. The second, separately shining headlight 1b forms a "foot" placed at a certain distance 7F of the arrow, and thus belongs to this headlight also to this lighting structure 7 , (Here only the turning indication to the right is shown, the turning indication to the left is fully symmetrical, and therefore is not shown). Thus, the arrow-type turn lighting structure includes 7 the two parts:

• 1) a head part 17 , by the switched on (among other things also flashing) light lines 6 is formed. This head part can also use the usual flashing filament bulbs 3 respectively. 5 and a permanent (not blinking) shining headlight 1a contain;
• 2) a foot part 18 by a permanent (not blinking) shining headlight 1b (ie "foot" 7F ) and a dark interval 19 between this headlight 1b (Foot 7F ) and the axis of symmetry 20 is formed. (Or in other words, the headlight forms 1b one, at a certain distance placed, "foot" 7F of the arrow, and thus contains the foot part 18 a permanent (not flashing) glowing headlight 1b and a dark space 19 between this headlamp and vehicle axis of symmetry 20 ,

Thus, the direction of the arrow orientation is easily recognizable. Both headlamps are the parts of this arrow-type lighting structure 7 , Therefore, the light of the headlights does not interfere with the reversal indication recognition, and on the contrary, helps.

Every pair of the light lines 6 is symmetric with respect to the plane of symmetry 21 of the vehicle 16 ( 2 B ). Each above pair consists of two (one left and one right-placing light lines 6 , the (these light lines) the turning intentions of a vehicle 16 demonstrate.

And this presents 2 B schematically some possible placements of the luminous lines 6 in terms of the plane of symmetry 21 (different variants at the same time in one picture), namely: 2 B - 1) - a vehicle with the turn-on indicator turned to the right electrically; and 2 B - 2) - a vehicle with the turn-on indicator turned to the left electrically.

• – Wobei sind diese o. g. zwei Linien 6 eine zu einander symmetrisch in Hinsicht auf die Symmetrieebene 21 dieses Fahrzeuges 16. (D. h. ist die Symmetrieebene dieses Fahrzeuges eine Symmetrieebene dieser zwei Linien, und somit ist die Symmetrieachse 20 der Vorderansicht (bzw. der Rückansicht) dieses Fahrzeuges eine Symmetrieachse der Vorderansicht (bzw. der Rückansicht) dieser o. g. Linien.)
• – Dabei haben diese zwei Linien die getrennte, eine von einander unabhängige elektrische Schaltung.
• – Dabei beginnen sich diese o. g. zwei Linien in einem gemeinsamen Punkt, der an der Symmetrieachse 20 der Vorderansicht (bzw. der Rückansicht) dieses Fahrzeuges liegt, und gehen diese o. g. zwei Linien danach ab diesem Punkt nach links und nach rechts von dieser Symmetrieachse entsprechend; danach kommen diese o. g. zwei Linien bis zu dem (bzw. etwa bis zu dem) äußerst linken Teil des Ladeprofils 22 des Fahrzeuges und äußerst rechten Teil des Ladeprofils des Fahrzeuges entsprechend. Und danach u. a. können diese o. g. Linien weiter entlag der Außenkontur des linkes und rechtes, entsprechend, Ladeprofils 22 des Fahrzeuges weitergehen; und danach gehen diese o. g. zwei Linien zurück zur o. g. Symmetrieachse, und enden sich diese Linien in irgendeinem gemeinsamen Punkt an dieser Symmetrieachse.

Thus, the turn index lighting of a vehicle includes 16 at least one pair of luminous lines 6 ,

• - Where are these two lines above 6 one symmetrical to each other with respect to the plane of symmetry 21 this vehicle 16 , (That is, the symmetry plane of this vehicle is a plane of symmetry of these two lines, and thus is the axis of symmetry 20 the front view (or the rear view) of this vehicle an axis of symmetry of the front view (or the rear view) of these lines above.)
• - These two lines have the separate, independent of each other electrical circuit.
• - These two lines begin at a common point on the axis of symmetry 20 the front view (or the rear view) of this vehicle is, and then go from the above two lines from this point to the left and to the right of this symmetry axis accordingly; then these two lines come up to the (or about to the) leftmost part of the loading profile 22 of the vehicle and extremely right part of the loading profile of the vehicle accordingly. And then, among other things, these lines above can further entlag the outer contour of the left and right, according to, loading profile 22 continue the vehicle; and then these two lines go back to the above symmetry axis, and these lines end at some common point on this symmetry axis.

Or instead of the above left (right) part of the loading profile 22 of the vehicle, these two lines can go up to the left (right) part of a geometric peculiarity of the bodywork, and then go on this peculiarity entlag further.

When re-indexing one of these o. G. two lines, and the second of these lines is not turned on in this time period.

Thus, the lit-up luminous line encompasses the outer contour (the loading profile) of this vehicle, beyond the axis of symmetry, where the intention to turn is intended and indexed. Whereby, among other things, this luminous line, the outer contour (the charging profile) of only one part (such as Kühlerdeckungsgitter 23 , Front window (rear window) 24 , Engine Hood 14 , Trunk lid (or rear door) 25 , etc.) of this vehicle, also beyond the axis of symmetry 20 Where is the intention to turn intended and indexed. Or you can not just get a pair of luminous lines 6 , but several pairs of luminous lines 6 use at the same time.

Each of the above-mentioned two luminous lines, which belong to a pair mentioned above, can also begin about at the axis of symmetry and about at the extreme left (or right corresponding) part of the loading profile of the vehicle.

Each of the above-mentioned two luminous lines belonging to a pair mentioned above can also begin approximately at the axis of symmetry and approximately at the left (or right corresponding) usual light source (eg headlights 1 , Turn lighting lamp 3 or 5 , etc.) of the vehicle 16 to end

And at the same time, all these luminous lines can be u. a. also be discontinuous.

The light lines 6 can also flash, including sync with the usual lighting lamp 3 together flash. Or can the light lines 6 so illuminate that this illumination is formed from the successive bright (luminous) and dark areas (points), whereby this illumination is so electrically controlled that the light and the dark areas (points) move in the direction of the turning intention. The arrow-like structure 7 can also use the multiple light lines 6 which may include some of these lines 6 flashing, and the others of these lines 6 can at the same time show the intention to turn due to the above-mentioned light-light movement.

• 1) Kurvelineale Kopf-Teil 17 der Pfeil-artigen Beleuchtungsstruktur 7: Die leuchtenden Linien, die jenseits der Symmetrieebene 21 eines Fahrzeuges 16 leuchten (u. a. auch blinkend leuchten), wohin wird die Wendeabsicht beabsichtigt und indiziert. Zum Kopf des Pfeils gehören auch die solchen permanent (nicht blinkend) leuchtenden Beleuchtungen (u. a. Scheinwerfer), die auch von derselben Seite der Symmetrieeben sich befinden. Die sind normalerweise in der Top des kurvelinearen Kopfs des Pfeils platziert. Auch die üblichen blinkenden Lampen-artigen Wendeindikatoren (wie z. B. Lämpchen 3, 5, etc.) können zusätzlich zum Kopf-Teil 17 der Pfeil-artigen Beleuchtungsstruktur 7 gehören.
• 2) Fuß-Teil 18 der Pfeil-artigen Beleuchtungsstruktur 7 ist formiert durch: a) Einen permanent (nicht blinkend) leuchtenden „Fuß”-7F- des Pfeils 7, i. e. einen Scheinwerfer 1, (bzw. auch die übrigen permanent (nicht blinkend) leuchtenden Beleuchtungen 26), die sind an der Karosserie aus der Gegenseite der oben genannten Symmetrieebene 21 permanent (nicht blinkend) leuchten; und b) Einen dunklen Zwischenraum 19 zwischen dem o. g. Fuß 7F des Pfeils 7 und der Symmetrieachse 20 des Fahrzeuges 16 an der Vorderansicht (Ruckansicht) des Fahrzeuges.

In general, the arrow-like structure is 7 formed by the following key elements:

• 1) Kurvelineal head part 17 the arrow-type lighting structure 7 : The glowing lines that are beyond the plane of symmetry 21 of a vehicle 16 light up (including flashing lights), where the intention to turn is intended and indexed. The head of the arrow also includes such permanent (not flashing) illuminating lights (including headlights), which are also from the same side of the symmetry plane. They are usually placed in the top of the arrow's curvelinear head. Also, the usual flashing lamp-type turn indicators (such as lights 3 . 5 , etc.) can in addition to the head part 17 the arrow-type lighting structure 7 belong.
• 2) foot part 18 the arrow-type lighting structure 7 is formed by: a) a permanent (not blinking) "foot" - 7F - of the arrow 7 ie a headlight 1 , (or the other permanent (not blinking) illuminating lights 26 ), which are on the body from the opposite side of the above symmetry plane 21 permanent (not flashing) light up; and b) A dark space 19 between the above foot 7F of the arrow 7 and the axis of symmetry 20 of the vehicle 16 on the front view (rear view) of the vehicle.

In fact, one usually sees either the front view, or the rear view of the vehicle, and thus does not otherwise exceed the plane of symmetry 21 but over the axis of symmetry 20 a front view (or a rear view) spoken.

There is always an essential dark space (interval, gap) 19 between the "foot" 7F of the arrow 7 and the axis of symmetry 20 of which the curvelinear head part 17 of the arrow 7 begins. On the other hand, the head of the arrow contains the long luminous lines that cover the large loading profile of one of the two symmetrical opposite sides of a vehicle. A (either left or right) part of the loading profile of the vehicle from the left (right) headlamp to the symmetry axis 20 stays dark. And the other part of the vehicle (ie a right (left) charging profile immediately from the axis of symmetry to the right outer contour is bright, including flashing bright, and is thereby indexed, inter alia, with the long luminous lines 7 is therefore easily recognizable.

Some possible embodiments of the arrow-type lighting structure 7 are also in 2c shown (as for the left as well as the right turn intentions). These arrow-like structures 7 but are also shown schematically in other figures in this description, and everywhere, where the views "in the dark" shows schematically.

The glowing lines 6 are beyond the headlights 1 placed, either on the body 2 or at (or behind) the windows 24 of the vehicle. (You can not add extra lights under the transparent ceiling of the headlight 1 effectively place, because these additional lights will hardly stand out from the bright radiant background of the headlight.)

The glowing lines 6 are long; Its lengths are comparable to the outside dimensions of a vehicle on which these lines are installed. Thus, the human eye reliably recognizes these lines against the background of the body with the usual high-beam headlights and headlights.

Thus, the turn intention is not shown with some point-like (ie, among other things, round, square, etc.) bulbs, but with an arrow-like luminescent structure, which has the same (or comparable) dimensions, as well as the outer dimensions of the vehicle. In addition, this arrow-like luminescent structure closes like the front or rear headlamps that appear permanently (not blinking) 1 , as well as the glowing (including flashing shining) lines 6 at.

In some designs, the light lines 6 to radiate a diffused light. In other designs, these light lines 6 but also radiate the radiant (among other things also perpendicular to the luminous line or to the body surface shining) light. Or can a same luminous line be illuminable in both modes: either in a diffused light mode (eg in the dark) or in a radiant light mode (eg in sunshine). Thus, the same luminous line 6 not be dazzling in the dark, but well visible in the sunny weather.

For the light lines 6 one can use all kinds of light sources according to its physical principle, including the LED-like light sources.

3 schematically shows some example variants of the placement of the light lines 6 to provide the easily recognizable turn signal, and, among other things, the arrow-type turn signal lights of a vehicle. All light lines are shown only from one side of the vehicle, in case the vehicle is to turn to the left. The possible variants for the turn to the right are fully symmetrical and therefore these variants are not shown. The embodiments for the rear lighting are the same, as well as for the front lighting described above, and these variants are thus not shown.

There are the variants possible, in which only one of the light lines 6 (amongst other things 6a - 6z ) or any variations, with any combinations of these light lines 6 (including from 6a - 6z ) are used. The most likely combinations are in the 4 shown. All other combinations of the light lines 6 but are also possible. The light lines 6a - 6z Among other things, at the edge lines (Extensions lines) of the body surfaces, on the body surfaces next to these lines, on edges, at the bottom or top of the edge lines of the moving parts (such as a door 13 , a hood 14 , etc.), anywhere on the body surfaces, on or behind the lenses (but not under the headlight covers - see above). Also, the variants possible, with close the lines 6 with its right or left ends to any of headlights or other lighting.

The same arrow-like lighting is placed on the rear part of a vehicle in the same way. Instead of the front headlight 1 here are the rear headlights (back lighting lamps) 1 used. Because of this, as already stated above, the front views are mostly given to the drawings, because the rear views in the objective sense are the same. (The fact that the headlamps are usually round and white-luminescent, and the rear lights are usually square and red-luminescent, do not play a material role in the content of the sponsor's description).

But there is an essential difference: there is no ventilation entrance openings at the rear, and thus one can not only the luminous lines parallel, ie the ribs of the radiator openings along or outside the radiator opening surface, but also everywhere, at the freely selected angle α to place each other ( 5 ). Of course you can see the light lines 6 also at a front of the vehicle as well as on the side panels of the vehicle at an angle to place one to another, if the geometry of the body allows it.

The most likely variants for the rear views of a vehicle but are in the 4 , Variants 33 - 37 shown. A luminous line 6 can, inter alia, first under the trunk lid (or rear door) 25 and then this line may include the entire charging profile of the vehicle. Or can this link include the trunk lid (or back door). Or this link may include the back window, either placed behind the windows or placed on the body next to the windows, etc. - s. above.

The behind the window 24 (Front window or rear window or both) placed light lines 6 can be used in the already producing vehicles as an additional device, ie without a conversion of a vehicle.

You can also see the light lines 6 Turn on both sides simultaneously with respect to the symmetry axis to indicate a stop intention. Such stop indexing can also be used instead of the currently existing stop-intent illuminations. But you can also use such a signal in addition to the existing stop lights.

One can also formulate the solutions shown in the drawings differently, and that is understood by the arrow-like structure such a placement of the light lines 6 in which the endpoints of these luminous lines are separated from each other on one side of these lines and, inter alia, placed approximately at the central axis of symmetry of a body, or adjacent thereto, and the endpoints of these lines are different Sides of these lines are placed in one point, or one beside each other, or the two lines connect with their left and right endpoints, respectively, corresponding to the left and right headlights (or corresponding to another type of left or right permanent (not flashing) illuminating lighting, including rear lighting, on). Wherein all the luminous lines forming the arrows are always electrically switched on from their side of the vehicle in order to illuminate at the same time where this vehicle carries out a reversal indexing.

The light lines 6 can be straight or crooked

It can be seen that, in the main part of the variants, the head sees the arrow-like structure 7 (or any part of this head) approximately U-shaped (or Π-shaped, or V-shaped), where the letter U (or Π, or V) is placed horizontally, and are the two ends of the above Letters lie on the vertical axis of the vehicle.

The light lines 6 can be placed on the body of the vehicle, including the window of the vehicle, or on the window of the vehicle, or behind the window of the vehicle, or, inter alia, placed at the border between the window edge and the body edge. It can, as stated above, the combined placements of the light lines 6 how to take place behind the window, as well as on the bodywork.

You can do that in the 1 - 5 also formulated embodiments of the invention as follows:
The turn intention of a vehicle 16 is through a glowing line 6 indexed outside a headlight 1 (or outside a headlight cover) is located, with the two ends of this luminous line approximately at the axis of symmetry 20 the front view (or the rear view) of this vehicle, this line includes the outer contour (the charging profile 22 ) of this vehicle beyond the axis of symmetry 20 Where is the intention to turn intended and indexed. However, this luminous line can also encompass the outer contour (the charging profile) of only a part of this vehicle, even beyond the axis of symmetry, whither the intention to turn is intended and indicated. (An above-mentioned part of the vehicle is, for example, a radiator grille 23 , a front window (rear window) 24 , a hood 14 , a trunk lid (or the rear door) 25 , a lower part of the body, which lies under the front and rear windows, a geometric peculiarity of the body, such. B. a bend line 27 the hood area, etc.). Among other things, these luminous lines may also be discontinuous, ie within these luminous lines there may also be the dark (non-luminous) intervals, or the intervals where the other light sources (such as the headlights, the rear lights, etc.). ) lie. Here one means that it is about a line that begins and ends approximately at the above symmetry axis. Thus, in this formulation, it is understood that the groups of lines that form a line (such as, for example, the groups 6a & 6b ; 6i & 6y & 6h ; 6l , & 6m & 6k ; 6u & 6v ; etc.) are a single line that consists of some parts, such as. B., 6a & 6b , etc., exists.

In this description, the luminous lines are normally shown only from one side of the vehicle, in the case when the vehicle is to show a turn either to the left or to the right. The possible variants for turning into the opposite side (corresponding to the right or to the left, respectively) are fully symmetrical and thus these symmetrical variants are not shown.

All front-line light placement options are also suitable for the back of the vehicle, and vice versa. Therefore, for each light line placement variant, only one view (either front view or rear view of the vehicle is shown).

As it is already described in general, the light lines can 6 also include some separate parts of the body, including the headlights, the visual body peculiarities such. B. the bulges or bends of the body, etc., with the above-mentioned light lines 6 or the some separate parts of the light lines 6 the closed circles can form (see B. 12 ).

U. a. can the light lines 6 However, some of the above-mentioned separate, larger parts compared with the headlight diameter parts of the body (including the mudguards) do not form closed circles, and in some projections (eg from the front) one can visually see the closed or almost closed light circles (ie, in some projections, the light lines may form closed or almost closed circles). In addition, the light lines can 6 in the cases described above, inter alia, not be connected to the axis of symmetry.

The light lines 6 can also be placed on the mudguard (see eg 12c ).

The light lines 6 among other things can also consist of the luminous points or luminous distances or other geometric figures.

The light lines 6 can also form a broad luminous patrol, according to its width with the diameters of the headlights 1 or the rear lighting lamps 1h are comparable. Or you can, instead of the light lines 6 , also a broad luminous patrol 15 form according to its width with the diameters of the headlights 1 or the rear lighting lamps 1h are comparable ( 6 ). In this case, it's about a pair of wide stripes 15 Each of them closes with its left or right end corresponding to the left and right headlights 1 on (or according to another type of left or right permanent (not flashing) illuminating lighting, including rear lighting 1 , at). And at the same time these wide strips flash periodically, among other things synchronously with the usual lighting lamps.

The Stripes 15 can also be straight or crooked.

It is also a version possible, with lights or flashes the whole body 2 left or right of the axis of symmetry 20 , Or a part of the body (a wide patrol) is lit or flashing, which lies between the symmetry axis and the outermost charging profile of the vehicle.

Another embodiment of the invention is in the 7 . 8th and 9 shown. As in the dark, as well as under the shining sun, is the roadway area 11 (Asphalt, ground surface, etc.) just under the vehicle the darkest place at & near a vehicle because this area is always in the shadow. (The shadow is caused either by the daylight (sunshine) or by the night street light, so you can throw a vehicle with the seemingly downwards (and among other things also under the vehicle placing, or, among other things, placing at the edge of the vehicle) 10 Equip either a left or a right part of the track area under the vehicle (and also about next to the vehicle), according to the direction of the direction of the turn illuminate. These headlights 10 can also do the inner parts 29 the either left or right vehicle wheels 28 light, according to the directional intention. (In addition, of course, you can illuminate not only the inner, but also the front parts of the above-mentioned corresponding vehicle wheels in the front of the vehicle and the backs of the above-mentioned corresponding vehicle wheels in the back of the vehicle.) Contrary to the usual headlamps 1 who can not blind the oncoming driver, these headlights can 10 unlimited Bright and bright. Also contrary to the headlamps 1 and to the other usual vehicle lights, these headlights can 10 also just at the specific railway area 12 be focused under (as well as, inter alia, next to) the vehicle, or be parallel-straight light. Since this strong light signal is focused on the road surface below or just next to the vehicle (but does not shine parallel to the road surface in the eyes of the oncoming drivers), there are no reasons for limiting the brightness of the illumination.

The headlights 10 can also flash, including sync with the usual turning lights 3 flash. The headlights 10 but can also flash (short flash time) flash, with each flash is high-bright and bright. The flashing frequency can also be high, among other things also much high the flashing frequency of the usual turning lights. The flash-like, energy-saving, lighting technology (or Lichtimpulstechnik) is known, inter alia, from aircraft technology and photography; the technique for multiple flash-like illumination during the short time periods is also known from the phototechnology, and thus belongs to the state of the art.

The flashing headlamp may also be electrically energized so that any further series of flashlights are paused with a rest (i.e., no flare), the duration of a flashlight series being the same as the duration of a flashing condition of a flashlight, and the duration of an o. Rest break of an o. G. The flash headlamp is the same as the duration of a rest of a flashing turn lamp, and the o. G. Flash-Seheinwerfer and the usual turning lights of the same vehicle on and off synchronously and simultaneously.

7a-2 shows some possible synchronization variant between the flashing headlights and usual turning light in a same car. Here "Iw" is light intensity of a turning light; "Is" is light intensity of a flashing headlight, "t" is time, and "E" is an envelope.

As is known, the human eye recognizes the two consecutively passed flashes as two different flashes only if the time period between these flashes is large, the one certain known biologically determined constant (further called "T _aug "). But if the above time period is less than the above-mentioned constant T _aug , the human eye recognizes these two flashes as a flash.

Therefore, the above-described flashing headlamp can be constructed so that the time periods between the individual flashes are less than the above-mentioned constant T _aug . In this case, the road traffic members recognize the entire lightning series as one continuous lighting.

Or conversely, the above-described flashing headlamp may be so constructed that the time periods between the individual flashes are larger than the above-mentioned constant T _aug . In this case, the road traffic members also recognize the individual flashes.

The second o. G. Working regime provides more recognizable indexing that can be used in an extra-bright environment (eg under the bright sun). The first o. G. Labor regime provides less aggressive indexing.

The headlights 10 can look like from the lamps (or other point-like sources of illumination, including circle, square, rectangle, triangle, etc.) 10b , as well as from the shimmering stripes (ribbons) 10a exist under the bodywork 2 are placed.

How to use the headlights 10 as the reversal indication lighting.

In addition, also the usual headlights 1 even not from the two, on the two sides of the body (and on both sides of the radiator opening surface 8th ) standing lamps 1 exist, but from a shining patrol (band) 9 lying under the radiator opening surface 8th is placed, and which spreads from the left to the right border of the front. Thus one can reduce the blindness effect for the oncoming drivers ( 10 ).

It is also possible to use the indexing illumination described above (such as the light lines 6 - like, as well as the reversing indication headlights 10 -) for the "Stop" and "Continue" maneuvering indication. For this one switches the left and right of the symmetry plane 21 the vehicle placing reversal indications simultaneously.

As an example, an embodiment of the invention in the 11 shown. You switch the right and left of the symmetry axis 20 placing light lines 6 at the same time to indicate the stop intentions ( 11 ). As the vehicle continues again, you turn off the above-mentioned light lines again on both sides simultaneously. In addition, the light lines can 6 In the reversing indication mode, the LEDs flash flashing, but in the stop indication mode (ie at the simultaneous switch-on), they light permanently (not flashing).

As mentioned above, all possible variations of the configurations of the light lines 6 are possible. For the stop indexing but all lines must 6 on the body on both sides (ie symmetrical with respect to the axis of symmetry 20 ) to shine.

In the first versions you can see the traditional lamp-like (point-type) turning lights (lighting lamps) 3 not included in the above-written arrow-like structure, also together and at the same time with the light lines 6 use. But you can also see the light lines 6 instead of the lighting lamp 3 use, because these lighting lamps 3 much less recognizable and thus redundant. Thus, it is about the additional turn-light indicators as well as the alternative turn-light indicators. The "stop" and "turn" lighting signals (if any) required by law in various countries may be used simultaneously with the described "turn" and "stop" signals.

The turn intention indicators, as described herein, as well as all traditional turn lights may be implemented as the brightness controllable lights. In this case, the vehicle also contains a brightness measurement device (devices), with which one can measure the headlight, body and ambient brightness, a calculation device (calculator, chip, etc.), and a device that changes the brightness of the turning lights. The o. G. Helligkeitsmaßgerät polls the current files to o. G. Calculating device. This calculator calculates the optimal for the human eye brightness strength of the turning lights (as well as stop signal illuminations) and gives command to o. G. Device that changes the brightness of the turning lights (and also stop lights). In the same way. You can also regulate the brightness of the front headlamps, as well as always realize an optimal ratio between the brightness levels of the headlights and turning lights (as well as stop signal lighting).

As already shown above, one can index the turning intentions of a vehicle by illuminating the corresponding (left or right) vehicle wheels. In this case, the vehicle wheels reflect a "light radiation from the outside". But one can index the turning intentions of a vehicle in that the vehicle wheels themselves have the light sources, d. H. If you place the turning light on the vehicle wheels or in the vehicle wheels.

The turning light 30 can also be at the upper parallel luggage rack rails 31 to be placed ( 13 ). These luggage rack rails are often located on the upper part of the body 2 of a vehicle.

• 1) Die Stangen 33, oder mindestens eine von dem kann auch die Rolle einer Antenne ausführen. In den alten Fahrzeugsmodellen nutzte man zwei Antennen, wobei die jede davon war an der Fahrzeugskarosserie entsprechend links und rechts platziert worden. Jetzt nutzt man nur eine Antenne, die zentral an der Karosserie platziert ist. Man kann aber wieder zwei Antennen nutzen, wobei die Stangen 33 werden die Beide Funktionen (Antennen und Wendeleuchtenträger) ausführen.
• 2) Die Stangen 33, oder mindestens eine von dem kann auch die Rolle eines Video-Scouts (Fahrzeugsperiskops) ausführen (15a–c). Als der Autofahrer im Auto sitzt, kann er die Verkehrsituation von seiner Position visuell nur beschränkt beobachten. Insbesondere kann er nur die unmittelbar nächstes Auto vor ihm und hinter ihm sehen. Die 2-te, dritte, vierte, etc. Autos, die in der Reiche vor (bzw. hinter) ihm fahren, sieht man unmittelbar nicht. Die Nutzung der Videokameras für Fahrzeugsorientierung ist bekannt. Diese Videokameras sind aber unmittelbar in der Karosserie platziert. Somit liefern diese Kameras nur die Ansichten an der unmittelbar daneben fahrenden Fahrzeuge. Falls platziert man eine Kamera 34 an der oberen Spitze einer, an der Karosserie 2 platziernden Stange 33, welche Spitze über der Fahrzeug sich befindet, kann der Fahrer auch die Situation mit den o. g. 2-ten, dritten, vierten, etc. Autos in der Reiche vor (bzw. hinter) ihm auch visuell beobachten. Diese Kamera 34 kann selbstverständlich nur an einer Stange 33 platziert werden. Die (einzige) Stange 33 kann an der Karosserie zentral oder aus einer Seite der Karosserie (am bestens an der Seite, wo der Fahrer sitzt – das kann links oder rechts sein) platziert werden. Falls platziert man aber die Kameras 34 an der zwei Stagen 33, kann man nicht nur die weitere in der Reiche Fahrzeuge sehen, aber auch die dazu gehörenden Abstände messen. Die Information aus den Kameras 34 kann somit nicht unmittelbar an das Display, aber zuerst in den Rechner weitergeleitet werden, und danach wird diese Verkehrsituation am Display präsentiert, u. a. auch in der Form einer Computersimulation. Das o. g. System, das die Stangen 33, Kameras 34, Fahrzeugsrechner und Display enthält, kann auch noch eine Vorrichtung enthalten, die die Zufälligen Schwingungen bzw. Vibrationen der Kameras 34 kompensiert (u. a. elektronisch kompensiert). Diese Funktion kann auch der Fahrzeugrechner mit der entsprechenden Software ausführen. Unter der „Fahrzeugrechner” versteht man auch einen Brett-Computer, einen Mikrochip, bzw. irgendwelche elektronische Vorrichtung, womit man die elektrischen Signale aus der Videokamera bearbeiten kann.

You can do the turn lighting 32 also at the two bars 33 Place these rods on the upper part of the bodywork 2 to find oneself ( 14 ). Such a placement is worthwhile but only if lead these rods 33 synonymous any other features. In fact:

• 1) The rods 33 , or at least one of which can also perform the role of an antenna. In the old vehicle models, two antennas were used, each of which was placed on the vehicle body corresponding left and right. Now you only use one antenna, which is placed centrally on the body. But you can again use two antennas, with the rods 33 Both functions (antennas and turntable) will perform.
• 2) The rods 33 , or at least one of which may also perform the role of a video scout (vehicle periscope) ( 15a c). When the driver sits in the car, he can visually observe the traffic situation from his position only limited. In particular, he can only see the immediately next car in front of him and behind him. The second, third, fourth, etc. Cars that drive in the realm before (or behind) him, you do not see immediately. The use of video cameras for vehicle orientation is known. However, these video cameras are placed directly in the body. Thus, these cameras provide only the views of the vehicles immediately next to it. If you place a camera 34 at the top of one, on the bodywork 2 placing rod 33 Which tip is above the vehicle, the driver can also visually observe the situation with the above 2 nd, third, fourth, etc. cars in the realm before (or behind) him. This camera 34 Of course, it can only be done on a pole 33 to be placed. The (only) pole 33 can be placed on the bodywork central or from one side of the body (best on the side where the rider sits - this can be left or right). But if you place the cameras 34 at the two stages 33 , you can not only see the others in the rich vehicles, but also measure the associated distances. The information from the cameras 34 Thus, it can not be forwarded directly to the display, but first into the computer, and then this traffic situation is presented on the display, including in the form of a computer simulation. The above system, the bars 33 , Cameras 34 , Vehicle Calculator and Display, may also contain a device that detects the random vibrations of the cameras 34 compensated (including electronically compensated). This function can also be performed by the vehicle computer with the appropriate software. The "vehicle computer" is also understood to mean a board computer, a microchip, or any electronic device with which it is possible to process the electrical signals from the video camera.

The rod (the rods, in other - "The rod") 33 can also be adjusted after long or (and) angular position.

U. a. can the rod 33 be executed telescopically, and also a mechanism 35 (including an electro-mechanical mechanism), whereby the driver can change this rod at the specified height while driving ( 15b ).

U. a. can the rod 33 also be changeable at the various angles or orientations to the body, and for the corresponding mechanisms 36 , including the electro-mechanical mechanisms ( 15c ).

Every bar 33 can also have the two cameras, with one of these cameras is oriented to the front (Forderansicht), and the second of them is oriented behind (rear view).

Of course you can these og rods 33 with video cameras 34 as video scouts ("vehicle periscopes") also on their own and independent of the turn indicator indicator.

If so, but the pole 33 can also be used as a turning indicator, the turning light 32 as the point light ( 14a ), as well as the line light ( 14b ) are placed on the pole.

The video cameras 34 In conjunction with the vehicle computer, among other things, the turning lights of the vehicles in front, behind or alongside can be recognized (and thus the turning intentions of these vehicles) and informed the driver (by display, including simulated vehicle contours on the display, or by any other light-like, acoustic-like, or any other information signals). Thus, the driver can be informed not only about the turning intentions of the vehicle immediately in the vicinity, but also about the turning intentions of a 2-th, third, fourth, etc. vehicle in the realm.

The video cameras 34 In conjunction with the vehicle computer, among other things, the stop-signal lights of the vehicles ahead, behind or next to them (and thus the stop intentions of these vehicles) can recognize and inform the driver in good time.

The bars 33 , or at least one of which can simultaneously perform all three roles / functions: a) a turning light carrier, b) an antenna, and c) an above-mentioned video scout (vehicle periscope).

The turning indication of a vehicle, as well as the stop indication, can also be carried out by the light signals, which can be visualized at some distance from the vehicle or its material technical parts (such as body, rearview mirrors, etc.) become. Ie. you see the light signal "in the air" next to the vehicle, not directly on his body or on its parts. These techniques are already used in other technical areas, such as: As laser show, and thus these techniques are known and are state of the art.
