Description

FALSCHFAHRER-WARNSYSTEM WRONG DRIVER WARNING SYSTEM
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Warnsystem zum Schutz vor Falschfahrern, insbesondere auf Autobahnen und Schnellstraßen, wobei mittels eines Warnsignals eine Warnung bzw. Alarmierung vor einem entgegen der vorgeschriebenen Fahrtrichtung fahrenden Fahrzeug erfolgen soll.The invention relates to a warning system for the protection of wrong-way drivers, in particular on highways and highways, by means of a warning signal a warning or alarm should be made in front of a contrary to the direction of travel driving vehicle.
In den vergangenen Jahren hat, auch bedingt durch ein immer stärker werdendes Verkehrsaufkommen, die Zahl der Falschfahrer auf Autobahnen und Schnellstraßen, die nicht nur ihr eigenes Leben sondern auch das Leben anderer Personen in Gefahr bringen, stark zugenommen.In recent years, also due to an ever-increasing traffic volume, the number of wrong-way drivers on highways and expressways, which endanger not only their own lives but also the lives of other people, has increased considerably.
Es ist bekannt, dass für die Richtungsanzeige im Straßenverkehr bzw. für Hinweise auf Fahrbahnverengungen oder Geschwindigkeitsbegrenzungen Anzeigeelemente an Übergängen bzw. Autobahnbrücken angebracht sind. Diese Anzeigeelemente sind in der Regel so über der Fahrbahn angeordnet, dass sie vom heranfahrenden Fahrzeugführer auch bei größerer Entfernung schnell wahrgenommen werden können.It is known that display elements are mounted on transitions or highway bridges for the indication of direction in traffic or for evidence of road constrictions or speed limits. These display elements are usually arranged above the roadway so that they can be perceived quickly by the approaching driver even at a greater distance.
Nachteilig an den aus dem Stand der Technik bekannten Anzeigeelemen- ten ist es j edoch, dass zwar Informationen über Geschwindigkeitsbegren- zungen bzw. Fahrbahnverengungen gewonnen werden können, jedoch keinerlei Mittel vorgesehen sind, die auf einen sich eventuell auf der Autobahn befindlichen Falschfahrer hinweisen.However, it is a disadvantage of the display elements known from the prior art that, although information about speed limit However, no means are provided which indicate a possibly located on the highway wrong-way driver.
Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt somit die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Warnsystem zum Schutz vor Falschfahrern vorzuschlagen, welches durch Erfassen, Auswerten und Weitergabe von Signalen einen sicheren und effektiven Schutz gewährleistet.The present invention is therefore based on the object to propose a warning system for the protection against wrongdoers, which ensures a secure and effective protection by detecting, evaluating and passing on of signals.
Diese Aufgabe wird durch ein Warnsystem nach der Lehre des Anspruchs 1 gelöst.This object is achieved by a warning system according to the teaching of claim 1.
Vorteilhafte Ausführungsformen der Erfindung sind Gegenstand der Unteransprüche.Advantageous embodiments of the invention are the subject of the dependent claims.
Die Erfindung beruht auf dem Grundgedanken, ein Warnsystem zum Schutz vor Falschfahrern zu schaffen, wobei mittels eines Warnsignals eine Warnung bzw. Alarmierung vor einem entgegen der vorgeschriebe- nen Fahrtrichtung fahrenden Fahrzeug erfolgt, und wobei es sich bei dem Warnsignal um ein optisches und/oder akustisches Warnsignal handelt.The invention is based on the basic idea to provide a warning system for the protection of wrong-way drivers, wherein by means of a warning signal a warning or alerting takes place in front of a prescribed driving direction driving vehicle, and wherein the warning signal to an optical and / or Acoustic warning signal acts.
Das vorgeschlagene Warnsystem hat somit den Vorteil, neben einem optischen Warnsignal auch die Möglichkeit eines akustischen Warnsignals zu realisieren. Dies ist besonders bei schlechten Witterungsverhält- nissen, wie Starkregen oder Nebel, bei dem ein lediglich nur optisch ausgeführter Warnhinweis gegebenenfalls übersehen werden könnte, von großem Vorteil. Andererseits hätte ein nur akustisch ausgestrahltes Warnsignal den Nachteil, bei stärkeren Innengeräuschen im PKW, wie Gespräche mehrerer Personen oder laute Musik, überhört zu werden. Eine besondere Ausgestaltung der Erfindung sieht somit vor, neben einem optischen Warnsignal ein gleichzeitig akustisches Warnsignal auszustrahlen.The proposed warning system thus has the advantage, in addition to an optical warning signal to realize the possibility of an acoustic warning signal. This is particularly advantageous in poor weather conditions, such as heavy rainfall or fog, in which a warning that is only optically executed may be overlooked. On the other hand, a warning signal emitted only acoustically would have the disadvantage of being overheard with stronger interior noise in the car, such as conversations of several people or loud music. A particular embodiment of the invention thus provides, in addition to an optical warning signal to emit a simultaneous audible warning signal.
Um einen einfachen und effektiven Warneffekt zu erzielen, kann das optische Warnsignal in der Art einer Warnlampe, insbesondere eines Blinklichts und/oder einer Ampel ausgebildet sein. Der Einsatz eines solchen optischen Warnsignals hätte den Vorteil, dass das Warnsystem sehr kostengünstig hergestellt werden könnte.In order to achieve a simple and effective warning effect, the visual warning signal in the manner of a warning lamp, in particular a Blinking light and / or a traffic light to be formed. The use of such an optical warning signal would have the advantage that the warning system could be manufactured very inexpensively.
Eine weitere Ausgestaltung der Erfindung sieht vor, dass das optische Warnsignal in der Art einer Signaltafel ausgebildet sein kann, wobei auf der Signaltafel verschiedene Signalmuster und/oder Schriftzüge dargestellt werden können. Der Vorteil einer solchen Signaltafel liegt in der Tatsache, dass den sich nähernden Fahrzeugführern eine sehr detaillierte Information, wie z. B. „Achtung Falschfahrer", mitgeteilt werden kann.A further embodiment of the invention provides that the optical warning signal can be designed in the manner of a signal panel, wherein different signal patterns and / or logos can be displayed on the signal panel. The advantage of such a signal panel lies in the fact that the approaching drivers a very detailed information, such. B. "False driver", can be communicated.
Um zu gewährleisten, dass das akustische Warnsignal von allen Verkehrsteilnehmern wahrgenommen werden kann, ist es denkbar, das akustische Warnsignal mittels einer Sirene und/oder Hupe auszuführen. Der Einsatz eines solchen akustischen Warnsignals hätte den Vorteil, dass die Fahrzeuginsassen auch bei beispielsweise lauter Musik die Möglichkeit haben, das akustische Warnsignal wahrzunehmen.In order to ensure that the acoustic warning signal can be perceived by all road users, it is conceivable to carry out the acoustic warning signal by means of a siren and / or horn. The use of such an acoustic warning signal would have the advantage that the vehicle occupants have the opportunity to perceive the acoustic warning signal, for example loud music.
Eine weitere vorteilhafte Ausgestaltung der Erfindung sieht vor, dass es sich bei dem akustischen Warnsignal um ein von einem Lautsprecher übertragenes Sprachsignal, wie z. B . „Achtung Falschfahrer", handeln kann. Ein solcher akustischer Warnhinweis würde mit geringen Mitteln einen sehr effizienten Hinweis auf die drohende Gefahr darstellen.A further advantageous embodiment of the invention provides that it is the acoustic warning signal to a transmitted by a speaker speech signal, such. B. Such an acoustic warning message would, with very little resources, represent a very efficient indication of the imminent danger.
Weiterhin ist vorgesehen, dass am Warnsystem zur Steuerung der optischen und/oder akustischen Signale eine Steuereinheit vorgesehen sein kann. Mit dieser Steuereinheit ist es möglich, verschiedene Intervalle der optischen und/oder akustischen Warnsignale zu speichern und/oder wiederzugeben. Ferner hat eine solche Steuereinheit den Vorteil, dass das erfindungsgemäße Warnsystem jederzeit an die aktuelle Verkehrslage angepasst werden kann.Furthermore, it is provided that a control unit can be provided on the warning system for controlling the optical and / or acoustic signals. With this control unit, it is possible to store and / or reproduce different intervals of the visual and / or audible warning signals. Furthermore, such a control unit has the advantage that the warning system according to the invention can be adapted at any time to the current traffic situation.
Um einen besonders kostengünstigen Betrieb des Warnsystems zu realisieren, ist vorgesehen, dass das Warnsystem elektrisch und/oder über Solarzellen betrieben werden kann. Dabei ist es vor allem mit Solarzellen möglich, die Betriebskosten des erfindungsgemäßen Warnsystems signifikant zu senken.In order to realize a particularly cost-effective operation of the warning system, it is provided that the warning system electrically and / or over Solar cells can be operated. It is possible, especially with solar cells, to significantly reduce the operating costs of the warning system according to the invention.
Um dem Warnsystem ein möglichst weitreichendes Einsatzgebiet zu verschaffen, ist vorgesehen, dass das Warnsystem an einem Trägerelement, z. B. einer Brücke, einem Übergang, einem Pfeiler und/oder einem Autobahnschild oder dergleichen montierbar ist. Dies hätte den Vorteil, dass für das Warnsystem keine zusätzlichen bzw. weiteren Halterungen oder Trägerelemente vorgesehen werden müssten.In order to provide the warning system as wide as possible application, it is provided that the warning system on a support element, for. B. a bridge, a transition, a pillar and / or a motorway sign or the like can be mounted. This would have the advantage that no additional or additional brackets or support elements would have to be provided for the warning system.
Eine besonders vorteilhafte Ausführungsform der Erfindung sieht vor, dass im und/oder am Warnsystem ein Sensor zur Feststellung bzw. Erkennung eines Falschfahrers vorgesehen sein kann. Ein solcher Sensor hätte den Vorteil, dass eine besonders schnelle und effektive Warnung eines Falschfahrers erfolgen kann. Somit kann mit einfachen Mitteln ein sehr sicheres und effizientes Warnsystem zum Schutz vor Falschfahrern gewährleistet werden.A particularly advantageous embodiment of the invention provides that a sensor for detecting or detecting a wrong-way driver can be provided in and / or on the warning system. Such a sensor would have the advantage that a particularly fast and effective warning of a wrong-way driver can take place. Thus, a very safe and efficient warning system for protection against wrongdoers can be ensured by simple means.
Eine Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist in einer Zeichnung dargestellt und wird nachfolgend beispielhaft erläutert.An embodiment of the invention is illustrated in a drawing and is explained below by way of example.
Es zeigt:It shows:
Fig. 1 das in Draufsicht schematisch dargestellte Funktionsprinzip des erfindungsgemäßen Warnsystems.Fig. 1 shows the operating principle of the warning system according to the invention schematically shown in plan view.
Fig. 1 zeigt in schematischer Darstellung einen Autobahnabschnitt in Draufsicht, wobei der Autobahnabschnitt zwei Fahrbahnen 01 und 02 aufweist. Über den Fahrbahnen 01 und 02 ist ein Trägerelement 03 angeordnet. Am Trägerelement 03 sind beidseitig Warnsysteme 04 angeordnet, wobei j eder Spur 05, 06, 07 und 08 in jede Fahrtrichtung ein eigenes Warnsystem 04 zugeordnet ist. Das Warnsystem 04 weist unter anderem jeweils zwei optische Warnsignale 09 und 10 auf, die so am Warnsystem 04 angebracht sind, dass sie leicht auch auf große Entfernung vom Fahrzeugführer erkannt werden können.Fig. 1 shows a schematic representation of a highway section in plan view, wherein the highway section has two lanes 01 and 02. About the lanes 01 and 02, a support member 03 is arranged. On the support member 03 warning systems 04 are arranged on both sides, each j track 05, 06, 07 and 08 is associated with a separate warning system 04 in each direction. The warning system 04 has, inter alia, two optical warning signals 09 and 10, which are attached to the warning system 04 so that they can easily be detected at a great distance from the driver.
Befindet sich nun ein Falschfahrer auf der Autobahn, wie hier abgebildet der Falschfahrer 1 1 auf der Spur 06, werden die Warnsysteme 04 in beiden Fahrtrichtungen für die Spuren 05 und 06 aktiviert und signalisieren somit den anderen Verkehrsteilnehmern, dass sich ein Falschfahrer 1 1 auf der Autobahn befindet. Die anderen Verkehrsteilnehmer 12 und 13 können somit rechtzeitig gewarnt werden und dem entgegenkommenden Falschfahrer 1 1 auf die Fahrbahn 05 ausweichen. Neben dem optischen Warnsignal 09 und 10 können zusätzlich akustische Warnsignale eingesetzt werden.If now a wrong-way driver on the highway, as shown here the wrong-way driver 1 1 on the track 06, the warning systems 04 are activated in both directions for the tracks 05 and 06 and thus signal the other road users that a wrong-way driver 1 1 on the Highway is located. The other road users 12 and 13 can thus be warned in good time and avoid the oncoming wrong-way driver 1 1 on the road 05. In addition to the visual warning signal 09 and 10, additional acoustic warning signals can be used.
Der Einsatz eines solchen Warnsystems 04 hat somit den Vorteil, dass nicht nur die anderen Verkehrsteilnehmer 12 und 13 vor dem Falschfahrer 11 gewarnt werden, sondern auch der Falschfahrer 1 1 selbst einen optischen und akustischen Hinweis darauf erhält, dass er sich auf der falschen Fahrbahn befindet. The use of such a warning system 04 thus has the advantage that not only the other road users 12 and 13 are warned against the wrong-way driver 11, but also the wrong-way driver 1 1 himself receives a visual and audible indication that he is on the wrong lane ,
