Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method and a safety device for vehicle access areas.
  • the present invention is applicable to any access area for vehicles across a flow substantially perpendicular to the path of the vehicle, such as access to car parks across pedestrian paths, or some other type of access area with reduced visibility.
  • the pedestrians may be persons of any physical condition, age and traffic awareness, so that said warnings of the presence of a vehicle may not be perceived or taken notice of.
  • a case of this type may involve a child moving along the pavement, playing and/or running at high speed.
  • Other typical cases involve disabled and/or handicapped persons, elderly persons, etc., who are less able to detect the vehicle and/or to react thereto.
  • said systems leave the driver of the vehicle unprotected, since the final responsibility for a collision is usually attributed to him and yet he becomes incapable of controlling the situation correctly.
  • there is always a "blind spot" in which the driver brings the front part of the vehicle into the path of the pedestrians without being aware of the approach of pedestrians towards the vehicle access area.
  • the document ES2246745 discloses a method and a device which are intended to provide notable safety features for the exit and entry of vehicles, facilitating the manoeuvres of the drivers and increasing the safety of the pedestrians.
  • the solution provided in said document ES2246745 is based on a first step of detecting, by automatic means, the passage of pedestrians in the vicinity of a vehicle access area, in order then to provide the driver of the vehicle with information concerning the passage of pedestrians in the vicinity of the access area.
  • the present invention comprises improvements arising from the study and industrial use of systems produced according to the main patent ES2246745 cited.
  • the device according to the present invention intended to carry out the method described above, comprises at least:
  • the movable camera can move longitudinally by means of a slide. It may also be capable of rotating. Preferably, the camera is capable of rotating through 180° on a vertical axis and 90° with respect to a horizontal axis.
  • the movable camera not only permits regular sweeps which cover the entire space traversed by passers-by, but, in addition, has additional synergistic effects when the invention is combined with a system for detecting the presence of pedestrians and/or of a vehicle access area.
  • the pedestrian sensor system comprises a zone equipped with pressure sensors coinciding with and/or adjacent to the area of the pavement which the vehicles must enter in order to reach the road.
  • the sensors may be located on the road, in such a way that good detection is ensured in the whole area in question and the appearance of the buildings is not affected.
  • the system for transmitting information to the driver comprises an assembly of LEDs formed in a line.
  • the LEDs will light up to warn of the danger.
  • the line of LEDs has the advantage of not being able to be unnoticed by the driver.
  • the line of LEDs may be located on the ground, but will preferably be located on the exit barrier of the car park.
  • the sensor system is completed by a system of cameras and/or presence sensors, such as volumetric or infrared sensors, or sensors of another type.
  • presence sensors such as volumetric or infrared sensors, or sensors of another type.
  • the system for transmitting information to the driver may also comprise a visual system, such as a screen which, for example, shows what is detected by the cameras, in a pictographic system which provides a warning signal, for example, depending on what is detected, or in an acoustic warning system, or in a combination thereof.
  • a visual system such as a screen which, for example, shows what is detected by the cameras, in a pictographic system which provides a warning signal, for example, depending on what is detected, or in an acoustic warning system, or in a combination thereof.
  • the device will also comprise a system equipped with a minimum of one sensor for sensing the passage of vehicles and an optical and/or acoustic device for warning pedestrians of the presence of a vehicle in the vicinity of the access area.
  • Figure 1 shows a perspective view of an example of application of a device according to the present invention.
  • a pedestrian 10 is to be seen passing along a pedestrian path or pavement 16 which runs through an intersection with an access area 30 for vehicles 11 proceeding from a car park.
  • volumetric sensors 17 have been arranged in order to detect the passage of pedestrians 10.
  • the sensors 17 detect a pedestrian they emit a signal, for example a pictographic signal, via the monitor 13, which indicates the presence of pedestrians 10 to the driver of the vehicle 11 which is approaching the access area 30.
  • the system is completed by sensors 14, 15 which detect the presence of a vehicle 11 coming towards the access area 30, a pictographic signal, for warning the pedestrians 10, being produced via the luminous elements 12.
  • An acoustic signal may also be generated.
  • a luminous driver warning element 18 has also been added in order to remind the driver of the vehicle that he should carry out the manoeuvre with caution, even when no pedestrian detection warning is projected on the element 13.
  • the device has a camera 19, movable along a slide 191.
  • the camera 19 can make regular sweeps of the access area 30, or direct itself towards the detection zone 16 when one of the sensors 17 detects a presence.
  • the camera may, for example, take photographs at specific intervals and emit them via the monitor 13.
  • a pictographic warning signal for the driver is generated via the luminous element or panel 21, which, as an alternative to what is shown, may also be a traffic light which changes from amber to red when the sensors 17 detect a pedestrian 10.
  • the camera is preferably capable of rotating through 180° on a vertical axis and 90° with respect to a horizontal axis.
  • Figure 2 shows another embodiment of the device according to the present invention which may be regarded as an expansion of the embodiment previously shown in Figure 1 .
  • the elements common or similar to those of Figure 1 have been indicated by identical numbers.
  • the detectors of the previous embodiment have been replaced by a network of pressure sensors 31 located in the pavement.
  • infrared detectors 17 have also been included, although these elements may be dispensed with.
  • Figures 3 and 4 show simplified versions of the embodiments previously shown. Identical or equivalent elements have been designated by identical numbers.
  • the camera 19 in these cases is capable only of rotation.
  • a line of LEDs 22 has been arranged, on the ground, to warn the driver of the danger. Even more preferably, said line 22 will be located on a movable barrier.
  • a simplified monitor 13' has been arranged in the embodiment of Figure 4 .
