Abstract

The acceleration indicator has the acceleration behavior of a car displayed optically to the outside by an acceleration sensor. This indication takes place in analogue fashion, i.e., positive acceleration by green LEDs, corresponding to the instantaneous acceleration and negative acceleration by red LEDs. This display is installed not only in the boot but also the front of the car. The trunk display lets all red LEDs flash in addition for full braking.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine von außen sichtbare Anzeige des Beschleunigungsverhaltens eines Kraftfahrzeuges.The invention relates to an externally visible display of the Acceleration behavior of a motor vehicle.

Bislang wird den Verkehrsteilnehmern lediglich das Betätigen des Bremspedals durch die rückseitigen Bremslichter angezeigt.So far, only road users have been Actuation of the brake pedal by the rear Brake lights displayed.

Dabei kann nicht unterschieden werden, wie stark tatsächlich abgebremst wird.It cannot be differentiated how much is actually slowed down.

Ob es sich nur um ein leichtes Antippen mit möglicherweise keiner Bremswirkung oder um ein starkes Abbremsen handelt, kann von den übrigen Verkehrsteilnehmern nicht beurteilt werden.Whether it's just a light tap with possibly there is no braking effect or a strong braking, can not be judged by the other road users become.

Des weiteren wird z.Z. nicht angezeigt, daß die Geschwindigkeit auch reduziert wird, indem nur das Gas zurückgenommen wird, was z. B. bei Dieselmotorfahrzeugen auch schon eine beachtliche Verzögerung bedeutet. Noch stärker ist die Verzögerung, wenn in den nächsten niederen Gang geschaltet wird ohne das Bremspedal zu betätigen.Furthermore, currently not indicated that the Speed is also reduced by just the gas withdrawn what z. B. in diesel motor vehicles also means a considerable delay. The delay is even greater if in the next is shifted into lower gear without the brake pedal closed actuate.

Beide Symptome "nervöser Bremsfuß" (dauerndes Aufleuchten der Bremslichter) bzw. Geschwindigkeitsreduzierung ohne Bremspedalbetätigung (z. B. LKW) erfordern permanente hohe Konzentration an die übrigen Verkehrsteilnehmer.Both symptoms "nervous brake foot" (constant lighting up the brake lights) or speed reduction without Brake pedal actuation (e.g. trucks) require permanent high Concentration on the other road users.

Durch den Einbau eines Beschleunigungssensors und optische Anzeigen (z. B. in Form von Lichtpunkten) wird dem übrigen Verkehr das jeweilige Beschleunigungsverhalten angezeigt. By installing an acceleration sensor and optical The display (e.g. in the form of light points) is the rest Traffic shows the respective acceleration behavior.  

BeispieleExamples

gleichbleibende Geschwindigkeit: keine Anzeige
Gas wegnehmen, leichte Verzögerung: 1 Lampe
leichtes Bremsen: Bremslicht + 1 Lampe
starkes Bremsen: Bremslicht + 2, 3, 4 oder mehrere Lampen
Vollbremsung: Bremslicht + alle Beschleunigungsan­ zeigen blinken.constant speed: no display
Take off the gas, slight delay: 1 lamp
easy braking: brake light + 1 lamp
heavy braking: brake light + 2, 3, 4 or more lamps
Full braking: brake light + all acceleration indicators flash.

Durch diese Zusatzeinrichtung kann aber nicht nur die negative Beschleunigung angezeigt werden (rote Lichter), sondern auch die positive Beschleunigung (grüne Lichter).This additional device can not only negative acceleration are displayed (red lights), but also the positive acceleration (green lights).

Aber nicht nur im Heckbereich sind diese Zusatzanzeigen sinnvoll, sondern auch im Frontbereich.But these additional displays are not only in the rear area sensible, but also in the front area.

So kann man z. B. bei Stauende im Rückspiegel erkennen, ob das nachfolgende Fahrzeug ebenfalls abbremst.So you can z. B. at the end of the traffic jam in the rear view mirror, see if the following vehicle also brakes.

Am Fußgängerüberweg ist ebenfalls von vorne zu erkennen, ob das ankommende Fahrzeug mit unverminderter Geschwindigkeit weiterfährt oder abbremst.At the pedestrian crossing you can also see from the front whether the arriving vehicle at undiminished speed continues or brakes.

Mit Hilfe dieser Zusatzeinrichtung wird ein wesentlicher Beitrag zu mehr Verkehrssicherheit geleistet.With the help of this additional device becomes an essential one Contribution to more traffic safety.

Diese Anzeige kann z. B. dort installiert werden, wo z.Z. bereits die Zusatzbremslichter angebracht sind, aber auch parallel zu den herkömmlichen Lichtern.This ad can e.g. B. installed where currently the additional brake lights are already attached, but also parallel to the conventional lights.
