Abstract

The anti-lock brake light system uses periodically flushing brake lights to warn following drivers. The periodic flashing of the brake lights takes place automatically in periodic relationship to the ABS effect. The pulse generator or oscillator used in the ABS-system to pulse the braking tone applied to the wheels is also used here to pulse the brake lights. During gentle braking, the brake lights remain on. During heavy braking when the ABS-system comes into operation, the brake lights are pulsed on and off. ADVANTAGE - To provide drivers following behind with warning that vehicle in front is braking strongly.

Description

Aufgabetask

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, durch rhythmisches Aufleuchten der Bremslichter nachfolgende Fahrer zu warnen. Routinierte und verantwortungsbewußte Fahrer tun dies jetzt, indem sie das Bremspedal abwechselnd drücken und wieder loslassen.The invention has for its object by rhythmic The brake lights for the following drivers light up to warn. Routine and responsible drivers do now by alternately pressing the brake pedal and let go.

Lösungsolution

Antiblockiersysteme haben einen elektronisch gesteuerten Impulsgeber, der die Bremswirkung je nach Stärke des Bremsvorgangs kurzzeitig unterbricht. Dadurch wird ein Blockieren der Räder verhindert, das Fahrzeug bleibt lenkbar.Anti-lock braking systems have an electronically controlled one Pulse generator, the braking effect depending on the strength of the Braking process interrupts briefly. This will create a Locking the wheels prevents the vehicle from staying steerable.

Das rhythmische Aufleuchten der Bremslichter wird dadurch erreicht, daß die vom ABS-Impulsgeber gelieferten Signale für die Ansteuerung der Bremslichter mitverwendet werden.The rhythmic lighting of the brake lights will achieved in that the delivered by the ABS pulse generator Signals used to control the brake lights will.

Bei leichtem Bremsen erfolgt keine Unterbrechung der Bremswirkung, also auch kein Unterbrechen (= Erlöschen) der Bremslichter. Dasselbe tritt ein, wenn das Fahrzeug steht und das Bremspedal betätigt wird.With light braking, there is no interruption of the Braking effect, i.e. no interruption (= extinction) the brake lights. The same thing happens when the vehicle stands and the brake pedal is operated.

Beim starken Abbremsen setzt ABS ein, demzufolge auch ein rhythmisches Aufleuchten der Bremslichter. ABS is used when braking hard, and consequently also a rhythmic lighting of the brake lights.  

Erzielbare VorteileAchievable advantages

Viele Auffahrunfälle passieren, weil ein Fahrer die Stärke der Verzögerung des vorausfahrenden Fahrzeugs unterschätzt. Verantwortungsbewußte und rücksichtsvolle Fahrer versuchen, ihren Hintermann durch Drücken und Loslassen des Bremspedals auf eine erhöhte Gefahr aufmerksam zu machen.Many rear-end collisions happen because of one driver Amount of deceleration of the vehicle in front underestimated. Responsible and considerate Drivers try to push their back man by Release the brake pedal at an increased risk to draw attention.

Das hat folgende Nachteile:This has the following disadvantages:

  • 1. Das zu bremsende Fahrzeug wird immer wieder und relativ lange - nicht verzögert. Ein Mensch kann in diesem Fall einfach nicht so schnell arbeiten wie die Elektronik.1. The vehicle to be braked is again and again and relative long - not delayed. In this case, a human being simply cannot work as fast as the electronics.
  • 2. Der Fahrer des bremsenden Fahrzeugs wird abgelenkt, da er eine zusätzliche Aktion übernehmen muß.2. The driver of the braking vehicle is distracted because he has to take an additional action.
  • 3. Es entscheidet der jeweilige Fahrer, ob er seinen nachfolgenden Partner warnen will oder nicht.3. The respective driver decides whether he wants his wants to warn the following partner or not.

Diese Nachteile werden ausgeschaltet durch die dem Patent (bzw. der Erfindung) zugrunde liegende Automatik, . . . ein wesentlicher Beitrag zum Unfallschutz!These disadvantages are eliminated by the Automatic system on which the patent (or the invention) is based, . . . an important contribution to accident protection!
