Definitions

  • This invention relates to a vehicle impact warning device for installation in a motor vehicle, comprising a deceleration sensor through which delays are detected approximately parallel to the road surface and a switch activatable therefrom, via a radio transmitter, a first electromagnetic radio warning signal and a warning signal as a visual warning signal and / or an acoustic warning signal can be triggered and a radio receiver, by which the warning signal can also be activated by a similar radio warning signal of a radio transmitter from another, impacting motor vehicle and in a second reaction stage, a second radio warning signal can be activated.
  • warning devices will be set up at a certain distance in front of the accident site and / or police officers will be posted to warn the following travelers.
  • the accident information stored in this way can be retrieved from suitable radio receivers as a voice signal and / or navigation devices set up for this purpose as text information on a display.
  • Out DE 197 53 511 (Zlatko ) is in principle the message of a braking known, which is emitted directly from the vehicle itself as a radio signal and received by radio receivers in other vehicles and can be converted into a warning message.
  • This message only goes as far as the respective radio transmitter allows.
  • the transmitter must therefore deliver a high field strength and is therefore expensive.
  • this runs contrary to the principle required, as complete as possible equipment of all vehicles.
  • Another disadvantage is that the received signal does not provide an estimate of the respective distance.
  • FR 73 28951 (Gendrot ) describes the cascading passing on of an accident report from vehicle to vehicle, but does not give any practicable method for how the number of transfers can be determined exactly.
  • the disadvantage is that either the reasonable minimum distance for the transmission of the message is not reached or that the message is carried over a much too large distance, thereby evoking the risk of inflation of the messages.
  • the invention has the object to provide a device that is installed in the motor vehicle, and detected at the earliest possible date the onset of an impact and all in the same direction and with an adjustable, maximum distance behind the vehicle crashed, Warns other vehicles, the device automatically passes a received warning to other, similar devices.
  • the warning should also be able to be passed on if a line of sight is restricted or interrupted by darkness, rain, snow, fog or other adverse weather conditions.
  • the warning should also be given visually and acoustically.
  • the invention proposes a vehicle collision warning, in which the second radio warning signal is recognizable by an additional information for all radio receivers as the second.
  • All presently common deceleration sensors consist of a moving mass which, in the case of most types, is subject to a crash due to their inertia the housing of the sensor moves something, this movement counteracts a continuously increasing force, which is usually applied by a mechanical spring.
  • deceleration sensors typically detect a threshold of the order of 3 to 5 g.
  • the message of exceeding this limit is triggered either by the fact that the mass itself makes contact or that the mass changes an electrical capacitance or inductance, which is evaluated with a suitable electronic circuit.
  • crash sensors are designed to activate an electrical contact when reaching the limit value, either directly or via a power semiconductor, with which additional consumers can be switched on.
  • This switch can be designed as an electronic switch, that is, as a second, larger power semiconductor.
  • all the usual forms of relays are also possible.
  • the switch closes and thereby activates both a warning signal and a radio transmitter.
  • a warning signal visual warning signals are possible, so all the signals that cause visible to the vehicle, optical change and / or acoustic signals, ie all forms of noise or the change of noise that are audible by other road users.
  • a vehicle impact warning device serves for a crashed vehicle to emit a warning signal which is acoustically or optically noticeable and additionally radiates a radio signal.
  • the first group of warning signals enables all persons within sight or earshot of the accident vehicle are on the one hand, the occurrence of an accident ever notice and second, the location of the accident can localize immediately and thus quickly and reliably recognize even from a distance, which of several vehicles has suffered an accident.
  • the vehicle crash warning device is suitable for all types of vehicles, such as e.g. for cars, trucks, buses, motorhomes, tractors, construction vehicles, agricultural vehicles, military vehicles and also for safety-sensitive motorcycles in principle. Since the risk of personal injury in motorcycles is in principle higher than in vehicles with closed bodies, the recovery of assistance by the vehicle impact warning device is a particularly important advantage of the invention.
  • This function can also be valuable for other drivers following directly behind the accident vehicle, since an impact with the front of a vehicle is possible, which is not easily recognizable and / or noticeable on the rear side.
  • the accident vehicle "signals" by activating a radio signal.
  • this is a single electromagnetic wave that is radiated continuously.
  • the required transmission block is available according to current state of the art at low prices and accordingly available in a design as a safety device with increased demands on operating temperature range, corrosion resistance and shock sensitivity at a cost that are hardly worth mentioning compared to the total price of a motor vehicle.
  • An advantage of the vehicle impact warning device is its small size.
  • a prototype equipped with a loudspeaker, a volume control, a warning button, a pilot lamp, a key-operated switch and a loudspeaker is housed in a casing of about 115 mm in length, 35 mm in height and 60 mm in width and weighs just 250 grams.
  • GPS signals Global Positioning System
  • Standard low-cost chips receive signals from three geostationary satellites, from which they calculate the coordinates of the position and pass them on to the radio transmitter, which emits them immediately together with the radio alarm signal. This information not only informs the responsible control center that an accident has occurred, but also where it occurred.
  • the number of occupied seats is detected before and after the accident, it can be deduced from the seats no longer or apparently additionally occupied after the accident that the position of the vehicle occupants has changed as a result of the accident and / or additional objects get on the seats, which allows a first assessment of the severity of the accident.
  • the detection of the delay value is conceivable, since proportional to the peak value of the delay, further damage to the vehicle and its occupants are to be lamented.
  • the evaluation of the sensors of the Electronic Stabilization Program (ESP) of the vehicle is conceivable, thereby transmitting the position of the vehicle after the accident, so to report a possible rollover or overturning of the vehicle to the control center.
  • ESP Electronic Stabilization Program
  • the vehicle crash warning activates a present in the vehicle, mobile phone and dials a designated for this emergency number.
  • the detection of the location of the accident vehicle is possible as an alternative to GPS and with appropriate equipment and the establishment of a voice connection between the relevant accident center and the vehicle occupants.
  • the transmission unit of a mobile telephone can be installed in the vehicle crash warning device. Their function can be limited to the fact that they send in an emergency after dialing a special emergency number only a standardized accident report.
  • This accident report is used to detect the accident and indirectly to determine the accident location by localizing the mobile transmitting unit of at least two receiving stations. This saves the installation of an additional GPS system.
  • the radio transmitter all the above-described functions of the radio transmitter are then particularly safe and trouble-free to differentiate from other signals in radio communications, if only for this purpose a very specific frequency is provided.
  • the invention prefers the frequency of 433.92 MHz or 868 MHz.
  • An alternative is a security lock with a removable key.
  • the object of the invention includes the direct warning of other vehicles, in particular the trailing.
  • the vehicle impact warning device includes a radio receiver, which is provided for receiving a radio warning signal from the radio transmitter of another, accident vehicle.
  • a radio receiver which is provided for receiving a radio warning signal from the radio transmitter of another, accident vehicle.
  • the invention proposes that the signal from the radio transmitter preferably only to the rear of the vehicle at a certain angle is radiated.
  • an additional switch can be provided on the device.
  • a speed-dependent activation is conceivable.
  • the additional radio receiver should receive priority from the front seen in the direction of travel of the vehicle incoming signals. This will spread accident reports on actually unaffected vehicle crash warning advantageously greatly restricted.
  • a warning signal In order to make the radio warning signals received by a radio receiver noticeable to the driver, a warning signal must also be triggered as a visual warning signal and / or an acoustic warning signal.
  • a lamp on the vehicle crash warning itself, a warning light on the dashboard and / or a display in the field of vision of the driver is illuminated to inform the driver in the interior.
  • the hazard warning system and the designated indicator light is activated in the field of vision of the driver, which may alternatively account for the visual warning signal in the device of the vehicle impact warning.
  • the vehicle impact warning device can also trigger acoustic warning signals. This includes the vehicle horn and / or the muting of all speakers in the vehicle of audio systems.
  • these speakers may be used to output a sound signal, unless the vehicle crash warning device has its own loudspeaker and / or its own other sound generating device.
  • Sounds are conceivable as sound signals, which sound either evenly or can be changed in volume or varied in pitch are. In the simplest variant, a single tone is enough. Also conceivable are multi-tone signals.
  • a possible alternative is, for example, the reproduction of the reserved for emergency sounds of sirens' horns, so the regular change of two tones whose frequency is at a distance of a fourth to each other as defined in DIN 14610, or the sound of a siren.
  • a blue light may flash in the driver's field of vision.
  • the invention proposes that when receiving a first radio warning signal by a vehicle crash warning in a second reaction stage, a second radio alert emit is.
  • the invention recommends that the second radio warning signal can be recognized by additional information for all radio receivers as a second signal. Because in practice the signals are given priority radiated to the rear and preferably received from the front, the information is passed through the marking as a second signal that the accident happened while close to the receiver, but that the distance in cases where the first radio signal has not been received is, but only a second, the distance to the accident must be at least as large as the average range of the transmitter, but not greater than twice the range of the radio transmitter.
  • the radio transmitter when receiving a second radio warning signal, can emit a third warning signal, so that the information chain is extended counter to the direction of travel to vehicles approaching the scene of the accident.
  • the length of this chain should be limited to a reasonable level d. H. So after receiving a certain number of casually passed accident reports to subsequent vehicles no further accident signal will be passed on.
  • an estimated value for the distance to the accident site is calculated from the number of cascaded radio alarm signals and the medium range and displayed to the driver.
  • the radio receiver may additionally receive radio information signals which should be used above all for information which is relevant for the road users located behind an injured motor vehicle. Examples are instructions like “making a lane! Or “driving to the right edge! or “accident ahead”. Also conceivable are the Passing on search queries like “doctor wanted” or “volunteer wanted”.
  • the invention proposes mounting on the rear parcel shelf below the rear window or on the dashboard. Advantages of these positions are that radio signals can be transmitted and received unhindered through the glass panes of the vehicle. A further advantage is that experience has shown that this area of motor vehicles is the last to be damaged, so that the vehicle impact warning device is still undamaged even after serious accidents.
  • the device could also be mounted on the boot lid or on the vehicle roof.
  • a vehicle impact warning device as a separate unit results in a higher redundancy of the vehicle warning system and thus also an increased probability of the availability of a warning in the event of severe and extremely serious accidents.
  • the standalone configuration used as a standardized part by different vehicles from different manufacturers, offers the opportunity for very large volume production with increased insensitivity to extreme operating temperatures down to - 20 ° and up to + 70 °, against extreme delays above the threshold of 3 - 5 g out as well as against environmental influences, in particular humidity up to constant condensation and the immersion in water in an accident.

  • Activation of the emergency call station not only sends a warning message to nearby vehicles, but also issues an accident warning to the road maintenance or other institution that receives the emergency call.
  • a vehicle impact warning can be extended by the function of an accident data memory.
  • Particularly interesting is the storage of kinematic and acoustic data of the accident vehicle from the triggering of the deceleration sensor and in a further stage even from a certain period of time directly before the accident event. This combination is appropriate because the vehicle crash warning is a particularly robust and robust assembly, which is preferably grown in a relatively safe installation location.
  • the invention proposes that the radio-warning signals, the visual warning signals and the acoustic warning signals are emitted only for a limited, adjustable time, for example 5 to 10 minutes.
  • the advantage of this limitation is that the frequency range reserved for emergencies is charged as little as possible and that the disturbance of other, uninvolved road users and residents, in particular by the acoustic warning signal to the necessary minimum is limited.
  • the invention proposes that the vehicle impact warning device can emit at least three different acoustic warning signals. It makes sense that the acoustic warning signal with the highest volume can be triggered directly and free of manual interruption possibilities of the deceleration sensor. This greatly reduces the possibility of tampering with the warning device and increases operational safety by involving as few parts as possible.
  • warning signal also includes a voice signal.
  • voice signal This opens up numerous possibilities for more differentiated information about the reported event. Since modern vehicles are already equipped with warning tones very numerous, is a linguistic message, eg. B. by the word attention a meaningful distinction. Such a short language reserve can with little effort in the English Word attention the French word attention or the Italian word attentione be transferred.
  • the practical utility very enhancing device are Wamtasten, by the operation of each an additional voice signal is emitted for "obstacle on the road” and / or “broken down vehicle” and / or “animals on the road” and / or “wrong-way driver” and / or another specific hazard situation.
  • This makes it possible, unfortunately, to pass on frequently occurring dangerous situations in good time to affected motorists in the immediate vicinity.

  • a particularly valuable additional equipment is an inventive vehicle impact warning in the same form for motorcycles. Since many motorcyclists succumbed to their injuries after an accident only because they were so far removed from the road by the accident that their vehicle was no longer visible from the road so that they could not be granted much needed help in time , An inventive vehicle impact warning for a motorcycle is not only useful information for subsequent road users, but also a very valuable help message with the urgent request for immediate help.
