Description

Zur Verbesserung der Sicherheit im Strassenverkehr und Verringerung von Unfallgefahren wäre es ein erheblicher Vorteil, die Geschwindigkeit anderer Verkehrteilnehmer sicher einschätzen zu können. Dies gilt insbesondere für Fahrzeuge, die üblicherweise sehr unterschiedlich schnell bewegt werden, wie PKWs und Motorräder, und deren Geschwindigkeit bei größeren Entfernungen aus der Größenveränderung schwer abschätzbar sind.to Improvement of road safety and reduction of accident hazards would be It is a significant advantage, the speed of other traffic participants to assess for sure to be able to. This is especially true for Vehicles, usually be moved very differently fast, such as cars and motorcycles, and their speed at longer distances from the resizing difficult to predict are.

Dies gilt für alle Verkehrsteilnehmer, denen Fahrzeuge entgegenkommen, insbesondere auch für Fußgänger, in noch verstärktem Maße aber für potenziell überholende Fahrzeuge, deren Geschwindigkeit im Verhältnis zur eigenen schwer abschätzbar ist und für moderne Fahrer-Assistenzsysteme mit optischer Erfassung des Verkehrs-Umfeldes.This applies to all road users who are accommodated by vehicles, in particular also for pedestrians, in even stronger Dimensions though for potentially overtaking Vehicles whose speed is difficult to estimate relative to their own and for modern Driver assistance systems with optical detection of the traffic environment.

Es hat daher zahlreiche Vorschläge gegeben, die Geschwindigkeit dieser Fahrzeugtypen optisch anzuzeigen, vorwiegend mit zusätzlichen, meist farbigen Lampen. Jedoch konnten sich die zuständigen Normierungsinstanzen jeweils nicht auf ein System einigen, die Strassen-Zulassungsbehörden nahezu aller Länder lehnen daher zusätzliche Leuchtanzeigen ab, weil sie eher irritierend wirken.It therefore has many suggestions given to visually indicate the speed of these types of vehicles, mainly with additional, mostly colored lamps. However, the competent standardization bodies were able to not agree on a system, the street registration authorities almost of all countries therefore reject additional Illuminated displays, because they seem rather irritating.

Daher ist es Aufgabe vorliegender Neuerung, ein Indikatorsystem zu schaffen, dass sich möglichst im Rahmen der bereits zulässigen Leucht- und Anzeigenfunktionen bewegt, gleichwohl aber eine eindeutige Kennung der Fahrgeschwindigkeit zulässt, die auch von der automatischen Erfassung in Fahrassistenz-Systemen ausgewertet werden kann.Therefore it is the task of the present innovation to create an indicator system, that as possible within the limits already permitted Lighting and display functions are moving, but a clear one Identification of the driving speed permits, which also from the automatic Detection in driver assistance systems can be evaluated.

Dies wird durch eine unterschiedliche Beschaltung von Scheinwerfer-Elementen erzielt:
Zunächst kann dies dadurch erfolgen, dass auch auf freier Strecke bei Tage das Fahrlicht ab einer definierten Geschwindigkeit aktiviert ist.This is achieved by a different wiring of headlight elements:
First, this can be done by the driving light is activated at a defined speed on the open road during the day.

Darüber hinaus ist es möglich, mehrere, gleichartige Scheinwerferelemente alleine oder zusammen, oder in einer bestimmten Musteranordnung zu schalten.Furthermore Is it possible, several identical headlight elements alone or together, or to switch in a particular pattern arrangement.

Dies erscheint besonders vorteilhaft im Falle von LED-Scheinwerfern, die ja ohnehin aus einer Vielzahl einzelner Elemente bestehen, die man z. B. in unterschiedliche Ursprungsmuster schalten kann, ohne Funktionseinschränkungen (außer etwaigem Helligkeitsverlust) befürchten zu müssen. Derartiges wird ja bereits bei selektivem Kurvenlicht etc. praktiziert.This appears particularly advantageous in the case of LED headlamps, which in any case consist of a large number of individual elements that one z. B. can switch to different original patterns, without functional limitations (except any brightness loss) fear to have to. Such is already practiced in selective cornering light etc.

In vorteilhaften Ausführungen kann dies z. B. wie in Nachfolgenden Zeichnungen 1 bis 3 erläutert, geschehen:In advantageous embodiments, this z. As in the following drawings 1 to 3 explained, happened:

1 zeigt eine Scheinwerferkombination 1 mit Fernlicht-Projektionsscheinwerfer 2 und Abblendlicht-Projektionsscheinwerfer 3, der optional benutzt werden kann. Darunter sind die Tagfahrlicht-LED-Scheinwerferelemente 4 und 5 und seitlich dieser Anordnung die LED-Scheinwerferelemente in der linken Spalte 6 bis 10 bis zur rechten Spalte 16 bis 20 angeordnet. In 1 sind hierbei nur die unteren LED-Elemente 4 und 5 aktiviert, wobei 4 eine Fahrgeschwindigkeit unter 50 km/h anzeigt und 5 das Erreichen von 60 km/h. 1 shows a combination of headlights 1 with high beam projection headlights 2 and low beam projection headlamps 3 , which can be used optionally. Among them are the daytime running light LED headlight elements 4 and 5 and laterally the LED headlight elements in the left column 6 to 10 to the right column 16 to 20 arranged. In 1 Here are only the lower LED elements 4 and 5 activated, where 4 indicates a driving speed below 50 km / h and 5 reaching 60 km / h.

Jede weiter nach außen und nach oben angeordnete LED kann z. B. eine um 10 km/h n höhere Geschwindigkeit anzeigeneach further out and upwardly arranged LED can, for. B. a 10 km / h n higher speed Show

Demnach zeigt 2 zeigt die Aktivierung auch der LED-Elemente bis 9, dies wäre der Code für 100 km/h.Accordingly, shows 2 also shows the activation of the LED elements up to 9 This would be the code for 100 km / h.

3 zeigt die Aktivierung auch der LED-Elemente 10 bis 13, dies wäre der Code für 140 km/h. 3 shows the activation of the LED elements 10 to 13 This would be the code for 140 km / h.
