Description

Die Erfindung betrifft die Anlage und Montage von Sicher­ heitsinformationsleuchten an Kraftfahrzeugen aller Art. Ein Verfahren, um umweltfreundliche und sichere Kraftfahrzeuge im Straßenverkehr führen zu können.The invention relates to the installation and assembly of safe Safety information lights on all types of motor vehicles Process to make environmentally friendly and safe motor vehicles to be able to drive in traffic.

Der Kraftfahrzeugführer gibt eine Information an die anderen Verkehrsteilnehmer in der Form, daß er das Gaspedal in Ausgangstellung bringt, also den Fuß vom Gaspedal nimmt. Nachdem das Gaspedal in Ausgangsposition gegangen ist, wird über einen Schalter (4), der an verschiedenen Plätzen im Wageninneren installiert werden kann,The motor vehicle driver gives information to the other road users in the form that he brings the accelerator pedal into the starting position, that is, takes his foot off the accelerator pedal. After the accelerator pedal has moved to the starting position, a switch ( 4 ), which can be installed in various places inside the car,

  • a) am Drehschieben,a) on the rotary slide,
  • b) am Gasseil oder am Gaspedal,b) on the throttle cable or on the accelerator pedal,

der Kontakt freigegeben.the contact released.

Erst jetzt ist es möglich, da das Fahrzeug durch die Motor­ bremse seine Geschwindigkeit reduziert, über zwei Impuls­ geber (Schalter 6), die seperat von der linken oder rechten Hand des Fahrzeugführers betätigt werden können, den Kontakt bzw. die Information zu geben.Only now is it possible, because the vehicle reduces its speed through the engine brake, via two pulse transmitters (switch 6 ), which can be operated separately by the left or right hand of the driver, to give the contact or information.

Diese beiden Impulsgeber (Schalter 6) müssen eine Funktion übernehmen können, und zwar entweder gesondert konstruktions­ bedingt oder durch neuzeitliche Elektronik, nämlich die Information, daß beim Betätigen das stationäre Bremslicht (Nr. 12) des Kraft­ fahrzeuges in Aktion treten kann. These two pulse generators (switch 6 ) must be able to perform a function, either separately due to construction or by modern electronics, namely the information that the stationary brake light (No. 12 ) of the motor vehicle can come into action when actuated.

Das Verfahren hat dann zur Folge, daß gleichzeitig vier grüne Informationsleuchten (Nr. 10 und Nr. 11), wovon zwei Leuchten am vorderen Teil und zwei Leuchten am hinteren Teil des Fahr­ zeuges montiert sind, die dabei eine Postition erhalten, daß sie gut von den anderen Verkehrsteilnehmern und Fußgängern er­ kannt werden können. Die Position kann entweder von innen oben (rechts und links der Front und Heckscheiben) oder bei Fahrzeugen, die hinten keine Scheibe (Fenster) haben, z. B. bei Transportern LKW′s ect. als eine Art Positionsleuchte von außen montiert werden. Sie leuchten dann auf.The method then has the result that four green information lights (No. 10 and No. 11 ), of which two lights are mounted on the front part and two lights on the rear part of the vehicle, which receive a position that they are good from the other road users and pedestrians can be known. The position can either be from the top inside (right and left of the front and rear windows) or on vehicles that do not have a rear window (window), e.g. B. in vans trucks ect. can be mounted as a kind of position light from the outside. Then they light up.

Entscheidend ist jedoch, daß beim Abbremsen des Fahrzeuges über das Bremssystem die Informationsleuchten Nr. 10 und Nr. 13 nicht in Funktion treten.It is crucial, however, that when the vehicle is braked via the brake system, the information lights No. 10 and No. 13 do not come into operation.

Als Zusatzinstallation kann ein Relais montiert werden. Dies ist jeweils bedingt nach der Bauart der jeweiligen Bremslicht­ funktion der einzelnen Kraftfahrzeughersteller vorzusehen oder nicht.A relay can be installed as an additional installation. This depends on the type of brake light provide function of the individual motor vehicle manufacturers or Not.

Durch das Vorstehend beschriebene System wird erreicht:The system described above achieves:

  • 1. Umweltfreundliches Autofahren,1. Environmentally friendly driving,
  • 2. mehr Sicherheit im Straßenverkehr mit der Folge der Reduktion von Verkehrsunfällen,2. more road safety resulting in Reduction of traffic accidents,
  • 3. Verminderung von Gesundheitsschäden,3. reduction of damage to health,
  • 4. Energiesparen.4. Saving energy.

Im einzelnen:In detail:

Zu 1. Umweitfreundliches AutofahrenTo 1. Environmentally friendly driving

Die Kraftfahrzeuge müssen nach dem beschriebenen Verfahren in vielen Situationen das Tempo nur reduzieren. The motor vehicles must follow the procedure described in slow down in many situations.  

Das kann dadurch erreicht werden, daß sie das Gas weg­ nehmen und die oben beschriebenen Informationen geben. Die Information wird vom Verkehrsteilnehmer (anderen Führern von Kraftfahrzeugen und Fußgängern) erkannt.This can be achieved by taking the gas away take and give the information described above. The information is provided by the road user (other Drivers of motor vehicles and pedestrians) recognized.

Sie können entsprechend reagieren. Danach kann das Fahrzeug wieder beschleunigt werden. Ein Anhalten mit laufenden Motor entfällt. Es bilden sich keine Staus. Es wird vermieden, daß alle folgenden Kraftfahrzeuge nicht halten, bzw. anschließend wieder anfahren müssen. Der Verkehr ist flüssig. Es wird insoweit auf die beigefügten Beispiele 1 (Fußgänger, keine sich bildenden Staus vor Fußgängerüberwegen, Unfälle werden im hohen Maß reduziert bzw. abgebaut), Beispiel 2 (keine leeren Kreuzungen, Kraftfahrzeuge gleiten über die Kreuzung, weniger Kraftfahrzeuge kommen zum Stehen, umweltfreundliches Autofahren ist auf jeden Fall gewährleistet) Beispiel 3 (die linke Fahrspur auf Autobahnen ist ausgelastet. Durch die Info-Leuchten kann der Kraftfahrzeugverkehr sich aus Seitenstraßen einfädeln, so­ mit können Staus abgebaut werden und umweltfreundliche Autos gefahren werden), Beispiel 4 (die Gefahren auf Autobahnen werden verringert, schwere Verkehrsunfälle bei täglichen Überholmanövern auf der Autobahn entfallen, da Verständigungsmöglichkeiten unter den Kraftfahrzeugfahrern möglich sind, das Fahrzeug mit Info-Leuchten hat das Tempo reduziert; Fahrzeuge hinter LKW′s können sich gefahrlos in die Überholspur einfädeln).You can react accordingly. After that, the vehicle can be accelerated again. A stop with the engine running not applicable. There are no traffic jams. It is avoided that do not stop all following motor vehicles, or afterwards have to start again. The traffic is smooth. It will in this respect to the attached examples 1 (pedestrians, none congestion in front of pedestrian crossings, accidents greatly reduced or reduced), example 2 (no empty ones Intersections, motor vehicles glide over the intersection, less Motor vehicles come to a stop, environmentally friendly driving is guaranteed in any case) Example 3 (the left lane on highways is busy. Through the info lights can the motor vehicle traffic thread from side streets, so can reduce traffic jams and environmentally friendly cars be driven), Example 4 (the dangers on highways reduced, serious traffic accidents during daily overtaking maneuvers on the freeway, because communication options are not available the motor vehicle drivers are able to use the vehicle Info lights have slowed the pace; Vehicles behind trucks can safely enter the fast lane).

Aus Vorstehendem ergibt sich, daß die Umweltbelastung durch stehende Kraftfahrzeuge mit laufendem Motor abgebaut werden.It follows from the above that the environmental pollution caused by stationary vehicles with the engine running are dismantled.

Zu 2. Mehr Sicherheit im Straßenverkehr - Verkehrsunfälle werden verhindertTo 2. More road safety - traffic accidents are prevented

Durch die Information wird eine bessere Verständigung unter den Verkehrsteilnehmern bewirkt. Es kann von jedem Verkehrsteil­ nehmer sofort reagiert werden, ohne eigene Zweifel an dem zu erwartenden Verhalten des anderen Verkehrsteilnehmers zu haben. Through the information, a better understanding among the Causes road users. It can be from any part of the traffic responded immediately, without any doubt about it expected behavior of the other road user to have.  

Es wird damit eine Ursache vermieden, die für viele Verkehrs­ unfälle entscheidend ist (vergl. Beispiele 1, 2, 3 und 4).This avoids a cause that is common to many traffic is crucial (see Examples 1, 2, 3 and 4).

Zu 3. Verminderung des Eintritts von Gesundheitsschäden3. Reduction of the occurrence of damage to health

Viele Fußgängerampeln, die über den ganzen Tag in ihrem Sekundentakt (rot/grün) wechseln, werden nicht genutzt, weil vereinzelt Fußgänger die Straße überqueren wollen. Trotzdem müssen die Kraftfahrzeuge laufend zum Stehen kommen, da sie an Zeichen der Lichtzeichenverkehrsanlage gebunden sind. Die Fahrzeuge warten, obwohl niemand die Straße überquert.Many pedestrian traffic lights that are used throughout the day Change every second (red / green), are not used, because pedestrians occasionally want to cross the street. Nevertheless, the motor vehicles have to stop all the time come as they are at signs of the traffic light system are bound. The vehicles are waiting, although no one Road crossed.

Es bilden sich unnötig Autoschlangen mit laufendem Motor. Das hat zur Folge, daß darauffolgende Kraftfahrzeuge die giftigen Auspuffgase durch das Lüftungssystem in den Fahr­ gastraum aufnimmt. Die Gase werden dann von den Insassen zwangsweise eingeatmet. Dies kann durch das Info-System erheblich reduziert werden.Car lines are unnecessarily formed with the engine running. As a result, the following motor vehicles the toxic exhaust gases through the ventilation system in the driving accommodates guest room. The gases are then released by the occupants forced inhaled. This can be done through the information system be significantly reduced.

Es werden beigefügt, eine Querschnittsskizze eines PKW′s mit Hinweisen für den Sitz der Sicherheits-Informtionsleuchten an den Kraftfahrzeugen, eine Skizze über eine Zubehörzusammenstellung (komplett), eine Skizze hinsichtlich der Heck- und Frontseiten der Fahrzeuge bezüglich der Montage der Sicherheits-Informations­ leuchten an Kraftfahrzeugen, eine Skizze über die Sicherheits­ informationsleuchten an Kraftfahrzeugen als Querschnitt mit Funktionsablaufregelungdarstellung und Erläuterung der einzelnen Punkte, eine Skizze der Impulsgeber (Nr. 6) nicht geschlossen und in geschlossener Funktion, Skizzen über die zitierten Bei­ spiele 1, 2, 3 und 4.It is attached, a cross-sectional sketch of a car with instructions for the seat of the safety information lights on the motor vehicles, a sketch of an accessory kit (complete), a sketch regarding the rear and front of the vehicles with respect to the assembly of the safety information lights on motor vehicles, a sketch of the safety information lights on motor vehicles as a cross-section with functional sequence control representation and explanation of the individual points, a sketch of the pulse generator (No. 6 ) not closed and in closed function, sketches about the cited examples 1, 2, 3 and 4 .
