Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft Warnleuchten am Heck von Kraftfahrzeugen, um Auffahrunfälle zu verhindern, falls voraus fahrende Fahrzeuge langsamer werden, auch dann, wenn keine Bremsleuchten dieses anzeigen. In vielen Verkehrssituationen kommt dieses vor, ohne daß der nachfolgende Verkehr auf die gefährliche Lage hingewiesen wird. Besonders auffällig ist dies an Teilstrecken, an Steigungen, aber auch an Gefällstrecken.The invention relates to warning lights at the rear of Motor vehicles to prevent rear-end collisions if vehicles driving ahead slow down, even if none Brake lights show this. In many traffic situations this occurs without the subsequent traffic on the dangerous situation is pointed out. This is particularly striking on sections, on slopes, but also on slopes.
Am Heck von Kraftfahrzeugen sind folgende Leuchten bekannt:
The following lights are known at the rear of motor vehicles:
- - Kennzeichenleuchten- License plate lights
- - Schlußleuchten- Rear lights
- - Nebelschlußleuchte- rear fog lamp
- - Blinkleuchten für Fahrtrichtungsanzeige- Direction indicators for direction indicators
- - Rückfahrscheinwerfer- reversing light
- - Bremsleuchten.- Brake-lights.
Ferner sind Leuchten an Nutzfahrzeugen bekannt, die eine bestimmte Geschwindigkeitsüberschreitung signalisieren. Weiterhin sind Systeme bekannt, mit denen der Abstand von Fahrzeugen ermittelt wird und mit denen auch die Fahrzeuggeschwindigkeit beeinflußt werden kann.Furthermore, lights on commercial vehicles are known, the one signal certain speed limit. Systems are also known with which the distance from Vehicles is determined and with which also Vehicle speed can be influenced.
Häufig kommt es an Steigungen, insbesondere auf Autobahnen und Landstraßen, zu Auffahrunfällen mit erheblichen Personen- und Sachschäden. Ursache ist immer ein rapides Absinken der Fahrzeuggeschwindigkeit, vorwiegend bei Nutzfahrzeugen wie Schwertransportern, Lastwagen und Bussen, deren Motorleistung oft nicht ausreicht, um die ursprüngliche Geschwindigkeit zu halten. Aber auch bei Personenwagen kommt dies vor, falls der Fahrer nicht rechtzeitig zurückschaltet. Der Fahrer eines nachfolgenden Fahrzeugs erkennt die Gefahr nicht oder zu spät und fährt auf. There are often gradients, especially on highways and country roads, to rear-end collisions with considerable personal and Damage to property. The cause is always a rapid decrease in the Vehicle speed, mainly in commercial vehicles such as Heavy goods vehicles, trucks and buses, their engine power often not enough to restore the original speed hold. But this also happens with passenger cars if the Driver does not switch back in time. The driver of one following vehicle does not recognize the danger or recognizes it too late and starts.
Aber auch an Gefällstrecken ist eine Gefahr gegeben. Der Fahrer betätigt dort die Bremse, will aber die Geschwindigkeit nicht reduzieren, sondern nur beibehalten. Der folgende Fahrer sieht die Bremsleuchten und bremst instinktiv. Er verzögert das Fahrzeug aufgrund einer Fehlinformation. Für den nächsten, spätestens den übernächsten Fahrer besteht die Gefahr des Auffahrens.But there is also a danger on slopes. Of the The driver applies the brakes there, but wants the speed do not reduce, just maintain. The next driver sees the brake lights and instinctively brakes. He's delaying that Vehicle due to misinformation. For the next one, at the latest the next but one driver there is a risk of Drive up.
Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, eine Warneinrichtung zu schaffen, die den nachfolgenden Verkehrsteilnehmer vor einem Fahrzeug unmißverständlich warnt, wenn dieses ohne zu bremsen an Geschwindigkeit verliert. Dabei soll eine kostengünstige Lösung gefunden werden, die das Verursacherprinzip berücksichtigt. Die bekannten Abstandsmesseinrichtungen, welche vorausfahrende Fahrzeuge erfassen, erfüllen diese Aufgabe nicht.The object of the invention is to provide a warning device create the following road user before one Vehicle unmistakably warns if this on without braking Losing speed. This is supposed to be an inexpensive solution can be found that takes the polluter pays principle into account. The known distance measuring devices, which driving ahead Detecting vehicles does not fulfill this task.
Diese Aufgabe wird dadurch gelöst, daß am Heck von Fahrzeugen Leuchten installiert werden, die anzeigen, wann das Fahrzeug seine Geschwindigkeit erheblich verringert. Das Maß der Verzögerung muß im Test ermittelt und verbindlich festgelegt werden.This object is achieved in that at the rear of Vehicle lights are installed that indicate when that Vehicle significantly reduced its speed. The measure of Delays must be determined in the test and made binding will.
Am Heck von Nutzfahrzeugen wird eine Leuchte angebracht, die bei starker Verzögerung des Fahrzeuges blinkt. Diese Leuchte kann beispielsweise auch ein kreisförmiger Ring sein, der zunächst in Dauerlicht geht und in dessen Mitte ein Ausrufezeichen blinkt. Sobald eine bestimmte Geschwindigkeit unterschritten wird, tritt an die Stelle des Ausrufezeichens die Fahrzeuggeschwindigkeit, z. B. 60, 55, 50, 45, . . .A light is attached to the rear of commercial vehicles flashes when the vehicle is decelerating sharply. This lamp can also be a circular ring, for example, the first goes into steady light and enters in the middle Exclamation mark flashes. Once a certain speed is undershot, the exclamation mark is replaced by the Vehicle speed, e.g. B. 60, 55, 50, 45,. . .
Bei Personenwagen und Kleinlastwagen soll diese Heckleuchte in Blinklicht gehen, wenn eine erhebliche Verzögerung des Fahrzeugs eintritt.This tail light is intended for passenger cars and small trucks go into flashing light when there is a significant delay in the Vehicle enters.
Die Verzögerung wird in jedem Fall durch entsprechende Schalteinrichtungen im Fahrzeug erfaßt. Es kann auch ein Abstands-Meßgerät am Heck des Fahrzeugs vorgesehen werden, das die Warnleuchte einschaltet, wenn ein nachfolgendes Fahrzeug zu dicht auffährt.In any case, the delay is compensated by appropriate Switching devices detected in the vehicle. It can also be a Distance measuring device can be provided at the rear of the vehicle the warning light turns on when a following vehicle closes opens up tightly.
Die Erfindung wird an Hand der Zeichnungen nachfolgend beschrieben. Dabei zeigtThe invention is described below with reference to the drawings described. It shows
Fig. 1 einen Personenwagen 1 und Fig. 1 a passenger car 1 and
Fig. 2 ein Nutzfahrzeug 2. Fig. 2 is a commercial vehicle 2.
Es sind dargestellt: Kennzeichenleuchten 3, Schlußleuchten 4, Nebelschlußleuchte 5, Blinkleuchten 6 für Fahrtrichtungsanzeige, Rückfahrscheinwerfer 7, Bremsleuchten 8 und 8'.It shows: license plate lights 3 , tail lights 4 , rear fog lights 5 , turn signals 6 for direction indicator, reversing lights 7 , brake lights 8 and 8 '.
Erfindungsgemäß wird die Zusatzbremsleuchte 8' bei starker Verzögerung eines Fahrzeugs 1 in Blinklicht geschaltet. Bei einem Nutzfahrzeug 2 sind hierfür die Leuchte 9 und/oder 10 und 11 vorgesehen. Ziffern 11' zeigen die Geschwindigkeit des Fahrzeuges an, wenn ein bestimmter Grenzwert unterschritten wird.According to the invention, the auxiliary brake light 8 'is switched into a flashing light when a vehicle 1 is decelerated sharply. In a commercial vehicle 2 , the lamp 9 and / or 10 and 11 are provided for this. Numbers 11 'indicate the speed of the vehicle when it falls below a certain limit.
