Abstract

Modular curb, comprising an upper module (1), which is at least partially visible in the installed state, which has at least one longitudinal recess (5) in a horizontal longitudinal direction for receiving traffic control elements, with a bottom on which there are connecting means (8) for connection to another module.

Description

The invention / utility model describes a multifunctional curb for accommodating infrastructural, safety-related and communication-technical elements.

Integrated supply roads

In the street cross section, a large number of supply and disposal lines (water, sewage, gas, electricity and telecommunications networks) are arranged with different functions, especially in urban areas. To relieve the underground installation space, the invention / utility model pursues not only a combination of curbs - surface drainage but also the integration of cable ducts. Particularly in the telecommunications sector, market dynamics are expected to result in frequently changing network requirements in the future as well.

The invention comprises flexible, fast and cost-effective solutions for an expansion of the network, the. Exchange of cables and components in case of damage. The same applies analogously to the energy supply.

Due to the common installation practice (digging in conjunction with other supply and disposal lines), it is difficult or even impossible to respond to these requirements since short-term access to the lines is not readily possible. Cable ducts integrated into the multifunctional curb provide the necessary flexibility.

In addition, the building system includes an integrated surface drainage and manholes for the connection of house connections.

Safety technology, traffic information systems and telematics

With the development of a new generation of curbs, the invention addresses the need for adaptation and expansion of traffic control technology and the necessary city / business information and control systems. This includes sensors / transponders for safety and traffic control technology and telematics. Systems integrated in the curb can, for example, signal danger information for adverse road conditions (eg ice warning via temperature sensors, traffic jam warning, etc.). On the other hand, the RFID technology (Radio Frequency Identification) allows the integration of control systems for management companies and control systems for restricted access areas (bollards, barriers). In particular, the traffic management and security in premises, outdoor facilities u. The development is of great importance. With tactile surfaces in the roadway, safety stripes can help increase traffic safety.

Integration of supply routes

To accommodate lighting technology, signal strips and RFID transponders, factory-fitted, universally usable recesses in the upper shelf area are provided. Depending on requirements, necessary elements can be integrated here. The power supply required if required takes place via a cable duct located behind or in the multifunctional curb. House connections, the integration of control gear and the connection to external signal systems or to solar systems for power supply via a shaft, which is an element of the modular system. The new curb is larger than a conventional concrete curb. The net weight, however, does not develop linearly with volume, it is reduced by the integrated infrastructure channels. The compact dimensioning of the component leads to improved positional stability and takes into account the standard cross sections in road construction. The system ensures easy replacement in case of damage. With the development of the multifunctional curb, the requirements for accommodating cable routes and their connection to the wider network will be implemented.

lighting technology

By integrating energy-related or energy-autonomous lighting technology, the curb system contributes, in addition to design aspects, to increasing traffic safety and traffic control functions in public and private areas, especially in areas of commercially used facilities.

State of the art

Curbs are subdivided into high, round, flat, deep and turf curbs as well as transitional and wheelchair passing stones according to their purpose and related requirements. They are generally side boundaries with a defined height above the carriageways. Different solutions exist on the market, which through surface design and shaping contribute to increasing traffic safety and protecting vehicles. Combinations of curbs with drainage channels have already established themselves on the market. They contribute to the reliable drainage of public and private thoroughfares and are available in various cross-sections and load classes. she meet the requirements for safe and permanent surface drainage.

In recent years, the design of public spaces, outdoor facilities, etc. increasingly used in concrete parts integrated lighting systems. In addition to the creative function, safety aspects are also in the foreground. In particular, the energy-saving LED and optical fiber technology is used here.

Constructive description:

The multifunctional curb (MULTIBORD) consists of several construction levels ( 1 and 2 ). These construction levels are assigned various functions. The client can choose from the range of functions which of these modules are to be used and thus create an individually designed system. Mandatory component of this system is only the upper part ( 1 ) of the MULTIBORD's.

The top level of the building system is the curb ( 1 ) itself. The multifunctional curb takes over primarily the function of the demarcation of traffic areas, the wheel deflection and thus fulfills the basic function of a curb. The traffic information system is integrated in this level. The traffic information system provides the road user with visual information and can record traffic information by means of appropriate transponder technology and forward it for evaluation.

This upper part forms the actual curb and substitutes the otherwise commonly used highboard. The other construction elements can be used modularly.

The middle construction plane ( 2 ) is intended for the laying of electrical and / or optical cables. Two cavities ( 7 ) are available for this application. This level is multipliable.

The lowest construction plane is a channel element ( 3 ) for the discharge of surface water.

The construction levels are protected by rubber seals ( 9 ) sealed.

The geometry of the novel shelves is designed so that it meets the purpose of limitation, acts as an abutment for surface mountings and at the same time, despite the extended functional content, manufactured with common manufacturing technologies and can be installed with laying technologies.

In the upper part ( 1 ) of the multifunctional curb ( 5 ) the information and control system (light bands) is being relocated. The cable feed takes place via the cable channel ( 4 ). The discharge of rainwater in the lower part ( 3 ) of the multifunctional curb takes place via the channel ( 6 ). For a precise adjustment, the tongue and groove system ( 8th ).

It is understood that the features mentioned above and those yet to be explained below can be used not only in the specified combinations but also in other combinations or alone, without departing from the scope of the present invention. From the invention, similar embodiments will be included, which are based on the meaning of the claims.
