Abstract
Lichtsignalanzeige mit einem roten, einem gelben und einem grünen Signallicht („Ampel”), die gegen die Fahrtrichtung des zu regelnden Verkehrs weisend ausgerichtet sind, gekennzeichnet durch einen gegen die Fahrtrichtung ausgerichteten Sensor, der auf eine in Fahrtrichtung gesehen rechts neben einem Fahrzeug befindliche Person erkennt und darauf ansprechend das Leuchten des grünen Signallicht modifiziert oder das Aufleuchten eines zu dem grünen Signallicht benachbart angeordneten vierten Signallichts bewirkt.Light signal display with a red, a yellow and a green signal light ("traffic light"), which are directed facing the direction of traffic to be controlled, characterized by a directed against the direction of travel sensor, seen in the direction of travel right next to a vehicle person detects and responsively modifies the illumination of the green signal light or causes the illumination of a fourth signal light adjacent to the green signal light.
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Lichtsignalanzeige mit einem roten, einem gelben und einem grünen Signallicht („Ampel”), die gegen die Fahrtrichtung des zu regelnden Verkehrs weisend ausgerichtet sind.The The invention relates to a light signal display with a red, a yellow and a green Signal light ("traffic light"), the oriented facing the direction of traffic to be regulated are.
Im Straßenverkehr ist eine häufige Ursache von schwersten Verkehrsunfällen, denen Opfer Fußgänger, insbesondere aber Fahrradfahrer sind, das Übersehen dieser Personen bei dem Rechtsabbiegen eines Fahrzeugs: die zu Schaden kommende Person befindet sich im sog. „toten Winkel” des Fahrzeugs, wenn dieses an einer Ampel nach rechts abbiegt, und kollidiert mit dem Fahrzeug.in the road traffic is a common one Cause of the most serious traffic accidents to which victims pedestrians, in particular but cyclists are overlooking of these persons in the right turn of a vehicle: the damage coming person is in the so-called "blind spot" of the vehicle, if this turns right at a traffic light, and collides with the vehicle.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Lichtsignalanzeige zu schaffen, die das Auftreten derartiger Unfälle vermeidet.Of the Invention is based on the object, a light signal display that avoids the occurrence of such accidents.
Erfindungsgemäß wird diese Aufgabe dadurch gelöst, dass die Lichtsignalanzeige mit einem gegen die Fahrtrichtung ausgerichteten Sensor versehen ist, der eine in Fahrtrichtung gesehen rechts neben einem Fahrzeug befindliche Person erkennt und darauf ansprechend das Leuchten des grünen Signallichts modifiziert oder das Aufleuchten eines zu dem kommenden Signallicht benachbart angeordneten vierten Signallichts bewirkt.According to the invention this Task solved by that the light signal display with an aligned against the direction of travel Sensor is provided, the one seen in the direction of travel right beside recognizes a person located on a vehicle and responding to it the glow of the green signal light modified or lighting up a signal to the upcoming signal light adjacent arranged fourth signal light causes.
Bei diesem Sensor kann es sich um einen Infrarot-Sensor handeln, alternativ kommt noch eine Kamera in Betracht.at This sensor may be an infrared sensor, alternatively is still a camera into consideration.
Der geeignet auszurichtende Sensor erfasst den Raum (in Fahrtrichtung gesehen) rechts von den Fahrzeugen (häufig also den Radweg) und über die von einer Person ausgehende, bei Annäherung an die Ampel zunehmende Wärmestrahlung. Bei Erkennen dieser von einer sich annähernden Person ausgehenden Wärmestrahlung, steuert der Sensor eine Einrichtung an, die eine Modifikation des Aufleuchtens des grünen Signallichts bewirkt oder aber ein viertes Signallicht zum Aufleuchten bringt, durch das der Fahrer des Fahrzeugs, neben dem sich der Fahrradfahrer befindet, auf das Erkennen einer Person rechts neben seinem Fahrzeug aufmerksam macht.Of the suitable to be aligned sensor detects the space (in the direction of travel Seen) to the right of the vehicles (often the bike path) and on the of outgoing a person when approaching at the traffic light increasing heat radiation. Upon recognition of this from an approaching person outgoing Thermal radiation, the sensor controls a device that is a modification of the Light of the green Signal light causes or a fourth signal light to light up brings, by the driver of the vehicle, next to the cyclist is located on recognizing a person to the right of his vehicle draws attention.
Alternativ kann auch eine Kamera vorgesehen sein, die das von ihr aufgenommene Bild analysiert und feststellt, dass sich ein Objekt neben dem Fahrzeug (in Fahrtrichtung rechts gesehen) auf die Lichtsignalanzeige hin bewegt. Auch in diesem Fall wird das grüne Signallicht oder ein viertes, gesondertes Signallicht geeignet angesteuert und den Fahrer entsprechend warnen.alternative can also be provided a camera that recorded by her Image analyzes and determines that there is an object next to the vehicle (Seen in the direction of travel on the right) to the light signal indication emotional. Also in this case, the green signal light or a fourth, separate signal light appropriately controlled and the driver accordingly to warn.
