Definitions

• the invention relates to the use of a transmission and Receiving system which according to the type of system for Transmission of traffic reports on radio works.
• Traffic announcements which are broadcast on the radio are generally known.
• the Traffic announcement ahead of a pilot signal which the Radio receiver e.g. to a preset volume changes, or tape players shutdown and on Broadcast reception switches so that the traffic information not only receive but also through the speaker can be delivered. This way you can be independent from the radio program or from other players Motor vehicle drivers in a relatively simple and quick way important information is transmitted.
• radio devices or tape or disc players set so loud are that the driver does not or hardly any traffic noise perceives more. Since the driving and wind noise of the own and other vehicles participating in traffic can reduce the acoustic perception of other signals the combination of driving noise with loudly set Radio, cassette, CD or car phones (cell phones) then lead to delicate situations when irregularities occur in traffic, which then e.g. the case is when Emergency vehicles such as police cars, ambulances, Fire engines, THW vehicles, ADAC vehicles, etc. on Participate in traffic. They own vehicles Sirens, however, these sirens are due in part very loud music in the others Motor vehicles not noticed or not noticed in time. Sometimes this has already led to accidents.
• Emergency vehicles such as police cars, ambulances, Fire engines, THW vehicles, ADAC vehicles, etc.
• the invention is therefore based on the object approaching emergency vehicles in addition to the siren to equip an instrument with which the emergency vehicle can also be perceived.
• This object is achieved in that a Transmission and reception system with an FM radio receiver and with a transmitter for a pilot signal and a Transmission signal for emergency vehicles, in particular Fire, police, ambulance, etc. is used.
• the invention therefore provides one in the emergency vehicle Install transmitter with which pilot signals and Transmission signals to those in the passenger car itself FM radio receiver can be emitted can.
• the emergency vehicles can her Approach those in the vicinity Show radio receivers so that the vehicle drivers receive information about your radio receiver.
• This warning signal can be visual and / or be acoustic in nature so that e.g. also motorcyclists can be warned.
• the pilot signal in the emergency vehicle itself is advantageous located transmitter suitable for the traffic radio decoder to use the FM radio receiver. It is provided that about the pilot signal in every broadcast program can be intervened. So it doesn't depend on set program from whether the vehicle driver the from Emergency vehicle receives information or Not.
• Fixed information is e.g. the automatic volume reduction or the Issuing warning signals or a direct transmission of the Siren howls, whereas any information e.g. via a microphone installed in the motor vehicle can be entered individually.
• Any Information is e.g. also stored on a memory Information that is issued on a regular basis. So can e.g. also a tape player with warnings about approaching vehicle can be played.
• the transmitter suitable for suppressing the radio program.
• the Broadcasting programs are the Broadcasting programs interrupted because of traffic information broadcast directly from the broadcasters.
• radio programs are not interrupted but suppressed, i.e. they continue to run in the background.
• all broadcast programs are simultaneously suppressed so that the warning notice at the same time on all Stations can be received.
• the transmitter preferably has an adjustable range on. This is e.g. 100 m to 500 m, so that only those in the area surrounding the emergency vehicle Receiver can receive the emitted signals and more distant receivers remain unaffected.
• the range can be advantageous with the speed of the Emergency vehicle can be coupled or the range at City trips are chosen differently than for country trips.
• the transmission direction is preferably adjustable and especially adjustable.
• the transmitter advantageously radiates in Direction of travel of the emergency vehicle.
• the emergency vehicle e.g. at accident sites or in the case of emergency vehicles from motorway maintenance companies
• a signal from approaching vehicles warn, as it can also happen that the Accident site or the emergency vehicles noticed relatively late become.
• the sending direction is within one certain angular range to the right or left in Direction of travel adjustable. It is also conceivable that Warn emergency vehicles to each other.
• the pilot signal or the receiver can preferably do so be set that this via the pilot signal automatically from a switched off to a switched on state and then again in the switched off state then passes when a certain Time period has passed or when there are no more signals received by the broadcaster. This way too Vehicle occupants can be reached by their Have turned off the radio receiver. However, it is provided that the radio receiver would not be turned on when the ignition of the motor vehicle is also switched off.
