Definitions

  • the present invention refers to an active marker or beacon especially designed to be used in beaconing or marking systems for motorways and the like, incorporating features additional to conventional beaconing, which endow the system with specific signalling at the time of an accident, developing the assistance or warning actions foreseen.
  • beacons based on catadioptrics which reflect the light directly received from any lamp
  • the beacons can produce their own light, generally based on luminescent diodes supplied by a solar panel and a small battery incorporated into the beacon itself.
  • both systems give permanent signalling which, in the second type, and combined with a photocell is reduced to nocturnal hours, exclusively marking the boundaries of the motorways, to help drivers travel along the latter.
  • the active marker proposed by the invention permits the development of systems like that described, satisfying the requirements necessary for the former to effectively maintain aid and safety functions on highways.
  • the marker consists of a combination of a signalling module based on LED diodes, infrared receiver and emitter modules, also based on diodes with these characteristics, a controller module ruled by a microprocessor incorporating the electronic components and connection means necessary for both operation of the marker itself and its relation with the rest of the system; and an energy supply module by means of a photovoltaic panel or by a cable connected to a conventional energy source.
  • the active marker being described consists of the functional relation of a signalling module (1) based on LED diodes, infrared receiver (2) and emitter (3) modules, also based on diodes with these features, a controller module (4) ruled by a microprocessor (5) incorporating the necessary electronic components and connection means, both for the operation of the marker itself and its relation with the rest of the system of which it is part; and a supply module (6) by means of a photovoltaic panel or cable by means of a conventional power supply.
  • a signal received in the infrared block detector (7) block used for the infrared detection of communications and from the volumetric detection reflection signal, is amplified in a double amplification stage (8), such that through a detector/demodulator (9), a circuit with rectification and filtration for signal demodulation of the amplification stage, the signal passes to the microprocessor (5), configuring a jumper.
  • the microprocessor (5) processes the information received in the communications, both infrared and by cable and by means of LED drivers (10), handles the signalling LEDs (11), a set of four high luminosity amber LEDs for signalling, volumetric detection LEDs (12), infrared LEDs that will send a signal for event detection, a signal which when reflected is that received by the infrared detectors (7); and communications LEDs (13), infrared LEDs for communication between markers which is carried out in a single direction.
  • a photovoltaic panel permitting charging of the battery when illumination is sufficient, this is configured as indicated in figure 3.
  • a battery charge chopper (16) transforms said voltage in a continuous battery charge signal (17) for power supply (18) at 5 VCC for the set of beacon components.
  • the supply (18) is carried out by means of a power supply (19), 48 VAC/5 VCC source, supplying all the beacon circuits when said beacon does not have a photovoltaic panel (15) and whose electronic diagram is shown in figure 5.
  • the materials, shape, size and distribution of the components may be varied, provided this does not involve a change in the basic features of the invention.
