Abstract

The system simulates moving obstacles on roads for use in traffic training areas and involves three or more rails equipped with switchable water valves. The valves (WS1....WSn) are controlled by a computer (R) and are triggered by induction loops (IS1,IS2) laid in the road surface so as to form water jets in blocks in order to simulate moving pedestrians or suddenly appearing road obstacles. The computer carries a set of programs for selection by the instructor. Thus the jet obstacles program can produce moving obstacles for the vehicle to avoid. The loop data are used by the computer to vary the difficulty in accordance with the vehicle approach speed and thus impose tighter reaction times. Thus, assuming a vehicle crosses both loops (IS1,IS2) the computer computes vehicle approach speed and thus varies the speed of the water jet block as triggered by the induction loops crossed by the vehicle.

Description

In allen Staaten mit hoher Verkehrsdichte wird angestrebt, die Verkehrssicherheit der Kraftfahrer zu erhöhen.In all states with a high traffic density, the aim is: To increase road safety for drivers.

Dies geschieht in zunehmendem Maße in Form von Sicherheits­ trainingskursen auf Verkehrsübungsplätzen.This is increasingly done in the form of security training courses on traffic training areas.

Die Hauptübungen sind dabei, das richtige Abbremsen und das Ausweichen vor simulierten Hindernissen.The main exercises are doing the right braking and that Avoid simulated obstacles.

Diese Hindernisse werden oft durch Hineinwerfen von Styro­ por-Blöcken in die Fahrbahn bereitet, aber oft auch schon durch aufrauschende Wasserfontänen, die in geeignetem Abstand plötzlich vor dem herannahenden Fahrzeug hochspritzen.These obstacles are often thrown in by styrofoam por blocks into the roadway, but often already through rushing water fountains that suddenly appear at a suitable distance Spray up in front of the approaching vehicle.

Die Neuheit meiner Erfindung besteht darin, daß sich quer zur Fahrbahn zwei, drei oder mehrere Schienen befinden, in denen sich an- und abschaltbare Wasser-Elektro-Ventile befinden.The novelty of my invention is that transversely to Lane two, three or more rails are in which water electro valves that can be switched on and off.

Diese Ventile können durch einen Rechner so gesteuert werden, daß sich - ausgelöst durch eine oder mehrere im Fahrbahnboden befindliche Induktionsschleifen - Wasserfontänen in Blöcken bilden, die entweder über die Fahrbahn gehende Fußgänger oder plötzlich auf der Fahrbahn auftretende Hindernisse simulieren.These valves can be controlled by a computer so that itself - triggered by one or more in the road surface located induction loops - water fountains in blocks form, either pedestrians crossing the road or Simulate obstacles that suddenly appear on the road.

Die Erfindung erweitert also die bereits bekannten feststehen­ den Fontänenhindernisse in bewegliche, die den in der Realität auftauchenden Hindernissen sehr nahekommen, ohne die abbremsenden Fahrzeuge zu beschädigen.The invention thus extends to those already known the fountain obstacles in moving that in reality appearing obstacles very close, without the braking Damage vehicles.

Im Rechner können beliebig viele Programme gespeichert werden.Any number of programs can be stored in the computer.

Z. B.
Eg

  • 1. Fahrzeug passiert erste und zweite Induktionsschleife. Der Rechner berechnet die Geschwindigkeit des Fahrzeugs und löst einen von rechts herannahenden Wasserfontänenblock (WFB) aus. Die Geschwindigkeit des von rechts nach links kommenden WFB, kann wiederum durch den Rechner variert werden, so daß abgestimmt auf die Geschwindigkeit des herannahenden Fahrzeugs der Schwierigkeitsgrad des Ausweichens erhöht werden kann. 1. Vehicle passes first and second induction loops. Of the Calculator calculates the speed of the vehicle and triggers a water fountain block approaching from the right (WFB) out. The speed of coming from right to left WFB, can in turn be varied by the computer so that matched to the speed of the approaching vehicle the difficulty of dodging can be increased.  
  • 2. Wieder passiert das Fahrzeug die Induktionsschleifen. In Abhängigkeit von der Annäherungsgeschwindigkeit wird in der ersten Schiene ein WFB von links nach rechts und in der 2. Schiene ein WFB von rechts nach links ausgelöst. Der Fahrzeugführer wird also gezwungen, erst nach links, dann nach rechts auszuweichen, um eine Kollision mit den beweglichen Wasserhindernissen zu vermeiden.2. The vehicle again passes the induction loops. In Dependence on the speed of approach is in the a WFB from left to right and in the first rail 2. Rail triggered a WFB from right to left. The driver is forced to turn left, then dodge to the right to collide with the moving Avoid water hazards.
  • 4. Das Fahrzeug passiert Induktionsschleife IS1 und dann IS2. Der Rechner berechnet die Geschwindigkeit des herannahenden Fahrzeugs. Bei leichter Ausweichaufgabe wird der Wasserfontänen­ block früh ausgelöst, so daß der Fahrer mehr Zeit zum Ausweichen hat. (Soll die Aufgabe schwieriger werden, wird der WFB später ausgelöst).4. The vehicle passes induction loop IS 1 and then IS 2 . The computer calculates the speed of the approaching vehicle. With easy evasive tasks, the water fountain block is triggered early so that the driver has more time to evade. (If the task is to be more difficult, the WFB will be triggered later).
  • 3. Das Fahrzeug passiert die Induktionsschleifen IS1 und IS2. Wieder berechnet der Rechner die Annäherungsgeschwindigkeit des herannahenden Fahrzeugs. Je nach Schwierigkeitsgrad werden die Wasserfontänenblöcke W1, W2 und W3 früher oder später ausgelöst, die vom Fahrer ohne Berührung passiert werden müssen.3. The vehicle passes the induction loops IS1 and IS2. The computer again calculates the Approach speed of the approaching vehicle. Each the water fountain blocks W1, W2 and W3 triggered sooner or later by the driver without Touch must be passed.

Es sind also viele Ausweichkombinationen vom Rechner speicherbar, die vom jeweiligen Instruktor z. B. per Funk abgerufen werden können. Oder ein Zufallsgenerator bestimmt die Reihenfolge der aufzurufenden Ausweichprogramme.So there are many alternative combinations from the computer storable by the respective instructor z. B. accessed by radio can be. Or a random generator determines the order of the alternative programs to be called.

Eine zweite Neuerung besteht darin, daß die einzelnen Wasserfontänen nicht gleichmäßig aus den einzelnen Düsen spritzen, sondern impulsartig mit verschiedenen einstellbaren Frequenzen - so daß die Höhe der Wasserfontänen beliebig einstellbar ist.A second innovation is that the individual Water fountains do not flow evenly from the individual nozzles spray, but impulsively with different adjustable Frequencies - so that the height of the water fountains is arbitrary is adjustable.

Die Wassermagnetventile werden also mit verschiedenen Frequenzen angesteuert. Je länger der Impuls dauert, um so höher spritzt der einzelne Wasserstrahl. The water solenoid valves are therefore with different frequencies controlled. The longer the pulse lasts, the higher the spray single jet of water.  

v = Wasserabschaltventile 1 bis 20 (Beispiel)
v = water shut-off valves 1 to 20 (example)

Nachdem ein Fahrzeug die Induktionsschleife überfahren hat, gibt der Rechner einen Auslösebefehl an die (V)entile 1 bis 5. Dadurch entsteht ein Wasserfontänenhindernis. (WFH) Soll sich dieses von links nach rechts bewegen, so schaltet der Rechner Ventil 1 ab und öffnet V6. Dann schließt der Rechner V2 und öffnet V7 - und so fort.After a vehicle has passed the induction loop, the computer issues a trigger command to the (V) valves 1 to 5 . This creates a water fountain obstacle. (WFH) If this should move from left to right, the computer switches off valve 1 and opens V6. Then the computer closes V2 and opens V7 - and so on.

Es entsteht also eine Wasserhindernis, das von links nach rechts wandert, je nach Programmablauf ist die Bewegungsrichtung schneller oder langsamer.So there is a water hazard, from left to right wanders, depending on the program, the direction of movement is faster or slower.

Der Fahrzeugführer muß also diesem künstlichem Hindernis versuchen auszuweichen.The driver must face this artificial obstacle try to avoid.
