Abstract

The arrangement transmits a measurement beam (16) from a transmitter/receiver (14/15) in the vehicle that is extended or shortened depending on speed and safe distance. The source is controlled by a pulse generator (12) between the tachometer (10) and tacho-shaft (11).

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung die Auffahrunfälle in Zukunft stark reduzieren bzw. ausschließen soll.The invention relates to a device that will greatly reduce rear-end collisions or should exclude.

Auffahrunfälle egal ob auf Verkehrsteilnehmer, verlorene Ladung, Tiere, oder was auch immer sind die häufigsten Unfälle und kosten jährlich viele Menschenleben und tausende an Millionen DM.Rear-end collisions no matter whether on road users, lost cargo, animals or whatever are always the most common accidents and cost many lives and thousands each year Million DM.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zu Grunde, eine Vorrichtung die im KFZ eingebaut wird und einen Messstrahl nach vorne aussendet um den KFZ Fahrer rechtzeitig von Hindernissen aller Art, die sich vor ihm auf seiner Fahrspur befinden, zu warnen.The invention is based on the object of a device which is installed in the motor vehicle and sends a measuring beam forward to the car driver in time of obstacles to warn of all kinds that are in front of him in his lane.

Diese Aufgabe wird bei einer Vorrichtung nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 (Seite 4) durch die im kennzeichnenden Teil angegebenen Merkmale gelöst. Weiterbildungen und vorteilhafte Ausgestaltung ergeben sich aus den folgenden Ansprüchen (Seite 4).This object is achieved in a device according to the preamble of claim 1 (page 4) solved by the features specified in the characterizing part. Further training and An advantageous embodiment results from the following claims (page 4).

Die Erfindung beruht auf der Überlegung ein Warnsystem zu schaffen, das den KFZ Fahrer bei schlechter Sicht, Ausfall des Fahrers oder Unachtsamkeit, den Fahrer rechtzeitig warnt bzw. das Fahrzeug ohne zutun des Fahrers zum Stillstand bringt.The invention is based on the consideration of creating a warning system that the vehicle driver in poor visibility, driver failure or carelessness, warns the driver in good time or brings the vehicle to a standstill without the driver doing anything.

Es wird ein Messstrahl vom KFZ ausgesandt. Dieser Messstrahl verlängert oder verkürzt sich mit der aktuellen Geschwindigkeit des KFZ. Trifft dieser Messstrahl auf ein Hindernis leuchtet im KFZ eine optische Kontrolle auf, gleichzeitig ertönt ein mäßiges akustisches Signal das innerhalb von 3 Sekunden zum Vollton anschwillt. Reagiert der KFZ Fahrer in keiner weise auf dieses Warnsignal, tritt 5 Sekunden nach ertönen bzw. aufleuchten des Warnsignal die jeweilige Stufe des Sicherheitssystems automatisch in Kraft. Die Zündung des KFZ schaltet sich aus (Benziner) sie Kraftstoffzufuhr wird unterbrochen (Diesel, Motorbremsung) gleichzeitig beginnt das Fahrzeug zu bremsen bis zum Stillstand des KFZ. (Wichtig bei Reaktionsunfähigkeit, Ausfall des KFZ Fahrers).A measuring beam is sent out by the vehicle. This measuring beam lengthens or shortens yourself at the current speed of the car. If this measuring beam hits an obstacle If an optical control lights up in the vehicle, a moderate acoustic signal sounds at the same time Signal that swells to full tone within 3 seconds. The driver reacts in no warning to this warning signal occurs 5 seconds after the sound or light up Warning signal automatically enters the respective level of the security system. The ignition the vehicle switches off (petrol engine) the fuel supply is interrupted (diesel, Engine braking) at the same time the vehicle begins to brake until the vehicle comes to a standstill. (Important in the event of inability to react, failure of the vehicle driver).

Das Sicherheitssystem kann in jeder Phase vom KFZ Fahrer kurzfristig unterbrochen werden und dann ganz normal weitergefahren werden. The safety system can be briefly interrupted by the vehicle driver in every phase and then continue as normal.  

Der KFZ-Fahrer hat zur Unterbrechung des Sicherheitssystems zwei MöglichkeitenThe driver has two options to interrupt the safety system

  • 1) Man betätigt die Fussbremse und alle automatischen Maßnahmen (Akustisches Signal, Zündabschaltung, Dieselsperre und automatische Bremsung) werden aufgehoben solange der KFZ Fahrer die Fussbremse betätigt. Nur das rote Warnlicht leuchtet weiter und signalisiert so dem Fahrer, dass die Gefahr noch vorhanden ist, aber das Sicherheitssystem kurzfristig durch sein Eingreifen unterbrochen ist. Nach Loslassen der Fussbremse ist das Sicherheitssystem sofort wieder aktiv. Das heißt, das Summen ertönt wieder und nach 5 Sekunden wird wieder die Zündung unterbrochen usw.
    Sollte das Hindernis z. B. ein vorausfahrendes KFZ sich mittlerweile über den nötigen Sicherheitsabstand (geschwindigkeitsabhängig) entfernt haben (es wird vom Messstrahl nichts mehr erfasst) schaltet sich das ganze Sicherheitssystem (inklusive Rotlicht) automatisch aus. Bis der Messstrahl ein weiteres Hindernis erfasst.    1) You apply the foot brake and all automatic measures (acoustic signal, ignition switch-off, diesel lock and automatic braking) are canceled as long as the car driver applies the foot brake. Only the red warning light stays on, signaling to the driver that the danger is still there, but that the safety system is temporarily interrupted by his intervention. After releasing the foot brake, the safety system is immediately active again. That means the buzzing sounds again and after 5 seconds the ignition is interrupted again, etc.
    If the obstacle z. B. a vehicle in front has now moved beyond the necessary safety distance (depending on the speed) (nothing is detected by the measuring beam), the entire safety system (including red light) switches off automatically. Until the measuring beam detects another obstacle.
  • 2) Man betätigt am Armaturenbrett oder Lenkrad einen Knopf oder Hebel, auch Akustikschalter möglich. Das Sicherheitssystem wird für 30 Sekunden außer Kraft gesetzt, (nur die rote Warnleuchte signalisiert dem Fahrer, dass das Sicherheitssystem kurzfristig für 30 Sekunden unterbrochen ist) z. B. Gefahr erkannt oder Überholvorgang. Der Vorgang kann so oft wie nötig (Überholen) jeweils für 30 Sekunden wiederholt werden. 30 Sekunden nach der letzten Bestätigung ist das Sicherheitssystem wieder voll aktiv. Wie unter 1) beschrieben.
    Die Sicherheitsanlage kann auch in bereits im Einsatz befindlichen KFZ nachgerüstet werden.
    Der große Vorteil dieser Erfindung beruht darauf, dass dieses System sofortige Sicherheit für das damit ausgestattete KFZ bringt nicht erst wenn mehrere oder alle KFZ damit ausgestattet sind (z. B. durch Gesetz). Gleichzeitig wirkt dieses Sicherheitssystem disziplinierend auf den KFZ Fahrer durch die automatische Abstandswarnung. Mit Sicherheit wird es die Sicherheit bei Busreisen und im Fernverkehr erhöhen (Übermündung des Fahrers).    2) You press a button or lever on the dashboard or steering wheel, acoustic switches are also possible. The safety system is deactivated for 30 seconds (only the red warning light signals to the driver that the safety system is temporarily interrupted for 30 seconds). B. Detected danger or overtaking. The process can be repeated as often as necessary (overtaking) for 30 seconds each. The security system is fully active again 30 seconds after the last confirmation. As described under 1).
    The security system can also be retrofitted in vehicles that are already in use.
    The great advantage of this invention is based on the fact that this system does not bring immediate security for the vehicle equipped with it until several or all vehicles are equipped with it (e.g. by law). At the same time, this safety system has a disciplining effect on the vehicle driver thanks to the automatic distance warning. It will certainly increase the safety of bus travel and long-distance transport (driver's mouth).
