Abstract

The signaling device has a light strip, in which red, yellow and green light emitting diodes are housed with required luminous intensity in multiple rows according to a pattern. The signaling device is executed by supplying with vehicle current or through a battery. The yellow light emitting diodes begin to blink, when a speed-up extreme value is exceeded. The extreme value is determined according to values, which appear during emergency and panic brakes, impact or centrifuges of a vehicle. A warning blinking system of the signaling device is switched off when the vehicle is accelerated again, or is standing still for multiple seconds. The signaling device is arranged optional by an acoustic warning equipment and a vibration detector with radio transmission system.

Description

Gebiet der ErfindungField of the invention

Die Erfindung betrifft alle mit hinteren Signalleuchten ausgestatteten Fahrzeuge, insbesondere die für den Straßenverkehr zugelassenen Kraftfahrzeuge aller Art.The invention relates to all equipped with rear signal lights vehicles, especially the approved for road motor vehicles of all kinds.

Stand der TechnikState of the art

Die hinteren Signalleuchten von Kraftfahrzeugen werden in Deutschland seit vielen Jahren nach § 53 StVO ausgeführt. Nach den Erkenntnissen sind vor allem die Brems- und Warnanzeigen verbesserungsbedürftig. Demzufolge wurden vor Jahren zusätzliche Bremsleuchten erlaubt und vorgeschrieben. Seit neuerem werden adaptive Bremslichter für Pkws und Lkws gefordert, die bereits in den unterschiedlichsten Ausführungen und Blinktechniken als Warn- und Notbremsanzeigen in verschiedene Neuwagen eingebaut werden. Von den adaptiven Bremslichtern und automatischen Warnblinksystemen, die es derzeit für die Nachrüstung gibt, haben fast alle keine offizielle Zulassung.The rear signal lamps of motor vehicles are executed in Germany for many years after § 53 StVO. According to the findings, especially the brake and warning lights are in need of improvement. As a result, additional brake lights were allowed and required years ago. Recently, adaptive brake lights for cars and trucks are required, which are already installed in various designs and flashing techniques as warning and emergency brake displays in various new cars. Of the adaptive brake lights and automatic hazard warning flashers currently available for retrofitting, almost all have no official approval.

Aufgabenstellungtask

Die Grundidee der Erfindung liegt darin, eine vollkommen autark arbeitende Signaleinrichtung für das Fahrzeugheck zu entwickeln, deren Signale den hinteren Fahrzeugen qualifizierte Hinweise geben über alle Geschwindigkeitsänderungen des vorausfahrenden Fahrzeugs.The basic idea of the invention is to develop a completely self-sufficient signaling device for the rear of the vehicle, the signals of which provide the rear vehicles with qualified information about all changes in the speed of the vehicle ahead.

Durch eine differenzierte Anzeige aller Brems- und Beschleunigungsvorgänge und des Stillstands eines Fahrzeugs soll den nachfahrenden Fahrzeugen Gelegenheit gegeben werden, sich frühzeitig der Geschwindigkeit und dem Abstand zu den voraus fahrenden Fahrzeugen anzupassen.By a differentiated display of all braking and acceleration processes and the stoppage of a vehicle, the following vehicles should be given the opportunity to adapt early to the speed and the distance to the vehicles ahead.

Die Erfindung dient dazu, den Fahrern ein präventives, autonomes Eingreifen zu ermöglichen, um einen synchronisierten Verkehrsfluss herzustellen, der Entstehung von Staus entgegenzuwirken und Auffahrunfälle zu vermeiden.The purpose of the invention is to enable the drivers to have a preventive, autonomous intervention in order to establish a synchronized flow of traffic, counteract the formation of congestion and avoid rear-end collisions.

Das Ziel der Erfindung ist, die Fahrsicherheit im dichtem Straßenverkehr, bei hohem Verkehrsaufkommen, im Stop-and-go-Verkehr und beim Heranfahren an Stauenden zukünftig zu verbessern.The aim of the invention is to improve the driving safety in dense road traffic, high traffic volumes, stop-and-go traffic and approaching traffic jams in the future.

Nach erfolgreichen Fahrversuchen wird angestrebt, den § 53 StVO sowie die entsprechenden Normen weltweit zu ändern, so dass die Erfindung offiziell zugelassen und in allen Ländern Vorschrift wird.After successful road tests, the aim is to change the § 53 StVO and the corresponding standards worldwide, so that the invention officially approved and in all countries regulation.

Technische LösungTechnical solution

Die Erfindung sieht vor, eine multifunktionale Signaleinrichtung in LED-Technik hinter der Heckscheibe oder außen im oder am Heckbereich der Kraftfahrzeuge anstatt der zusätzlichen „dritten” Bremsleuchte in vorgeschriebener Position zu installieren.The invention provides to install a multi-functional signaling device in LED technology behind the rear window or outside in or at the rear of the motor vehicles instead of the additional "third" brake light in the prescribed position.

Bei Neufahrzeugen kann die Signaleinrichtung direkt in das Design des Fahrzeughecks integriert werden.For new vehicles, the signaling device can be integrated directly into the design of the rear of the vehicle.

Für breitere Fahrzeuge und Lkws ist eine breitere Form der Signaleinrichtung vorgesehen oder ein Leuchtenpärchen, das auf gleicher Höhe und symmetrisch zur Fahrzeugmitte im Heckbereich fest montiert wird.For wider vehicles and trucks a wider form of signaling device is provided or a pair of lights, which is mounted at the same height and symmetrically to the vehicle center in the rear area.

Die Signaleinrichtung besteht aus einer Lichtleiste in der nach einem erfindungsgemäßen Schema rote, gelbe und grüne LED-Leuchtdioden mit vorgeschriebener Leuchtstärke in mehreren Reihen untergebracht sind (Bild 1). Die autark arbeitende Signaleinrichtung wird mit Fahrzeugstrom oder über eine Batterie gespeist und enthält einen geeigneten Beschleunigungssensor und eine Auswertelektronik zur erfindungsgemäßen Ansteuerung der LEDs.The signaling device consists of a light bar in which according to a scheme of the invention red, yellow and green LED light emitting diodes with prescribed luminosity in several rows are housed (Figure 1). The self-sufficient signaling device is powered by vehicle power or a battery and contains a suitable acceleration sensor and an electronic evaluation system for controlling the LEDs according to the invention.

Die grünen LEDs leuchten auf, während das Fahrzeug beschleunigt.The green LEDs light up as the vehicle accelerates.

Das konstante Aufleuchten der gelben LEDs signalisiert den Stillstand des Fahrzeugs.The steady illumination of the yellow LEDs indicates the standstill of the vehicle.

Die gelben LEDs beginnen zu blinken, wenn ein grenzwertig hoher Beschleunigungswert überschritten wird, der z. B. bei Not- und Panikbremsungen, Aufprall, Schleudern eines Fahrzeugs eintritt.The yellow LEDs start to flash when a marginally high acceleration value is exceeded. B. emergency and panic braking, impact, skidding of a vehicle occurs.

Die Warnblinkautomatik des Systems wird ausgeschaltet, wenn das Fahrzeug wieder beschleunigt oder mehrere Sekunden still steht.The system's hazard warning lights turn off when the vehicle accelerates again or stops for several seconds.

Rote LED-Leuchtdioden leuchten auf, wenn das Fahrzeug langsamer wird, d. h. bei jeder Verzögerung des Tempos – mit oder ohne Bremseinwirkung. Das gleichzeitige Aufleuchten der Bremsleuchten bedeutet, dass das Fahrzeug vom Fahrer abgebremst wird.Red LEDs light up when the vehicle slows down, d. H. every time the tempo is slowed down - with or without braking. The simultaneous lighting of the brake lights means that the vehicle is braked by the driver.

Analog der Verzögerung/Bremsverzögerung werden die roten LEDs in der Reihe von innen nach außen dazugeschaltet und signalisieren durch die Länge des Leuchtbalkens, wie stark abgebremst wird.Analogous to the delay / deceleration, the red LEDs in the row are switched from the inside to the outside and signal by the length of the light bar how much braking takes place.

Erreicht der Leuchtbalken die äußeren Enden (bei Überschreitung eines festgelegten Verzögerungshöchstwertes), fangen alle roten LEDs an, zu blinken.If the light bar reaches the outer ends (if a defined maximum delay is exceeded), all the red LEDs will start to flash.

Dazu schaltet sich das Warnblinklicht der Signaleinrichtung ein, das im wechselnden Rhythmus zu den roten LEDs blinkt.For this purpose, the warning flashing lights of the signaling device, which flashes in alternating rhythm with the red LEDs.

Die erfindungsgemäße Signaleinrichtung kann optional ergänzt werden durch eine akustische Warnanlage.The signaling device according to the invention can optionally be supplemented by an acoustic warning system.

Das System kann optional mit einem Vibrationsmelder gekoppelt werden, der mittels einer gerichteten Funkübertragung im Folgefahrzeug angesteuert und an geeigneter Stelle angebracht wird, die Berührung mit dem Fahrer hat (z. B. im Fahrersitz oder im Lenkrad). Der Vibrationsmelder liefert definierte Impulse, entsprechend den Geschwindigkeitsänderungen des vorderen Fahrzeugs.Optionally, the system may be coupled to a vibration detector which is controlled by directional radio transmission in the following vehicle and attached to a suitable location in contact with the driver (eg in the driver's seat or in the steering wheel). The vibration detector provides defined pulses according to the speed changes of the front vehicle.

Die erfindungsgemäße Signaleinrichtung kann optional ergänzt werden durch eine automatische Notrufeinrichtung.The signaling device according to the invention can optionally be supplemented by an automatic emergency call device.

Die technische Lösung ist gekennzeichnet durch die Merkmale 1–10 im Kennzeihen der Schutzansprüche.The technical solution is characterized by the features 1-10 in Kennzeihen the protection claims.
