Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a signal emitter-receiver device, particularly between vehicles, for warning about highway incidents, which has been particularly designed to be installed in vehicles of any type, whether they are private or assistance vehicles, or in highway signaling elements.
  • Highway incidents endanger the safety of occupants in both moving and stopped vehicles that are located close to the incident. These incidents often occur on a daily basis and vary in nature, for example: vehicles that have broken down, vehicles that have been in accidents, traffic jams, road construction, the presence of individuals or animals walking along the shoulder, obstruction of the roadway due to obstacles ( fallen trees, branches, rocks, spilled goods%), slipper surface (ice, water, oil%), weather conditions endangering travel (fog, rain, snow%), infrastructures in poor conditions (potholes, sinkholes%), narrowing of lanes or presence of heavy-duty vehicles, among others.
  • the simplest devices include emergency warning triangles, particularly conceived to notify of the presence of vehicles that are broken down or that have been in an accident.
  • This visual system signaling has various drawbacks. The most important drawback is the risk of the person placing the triangle being run over. Another drawback is that it is not an instant system, but rather requires considerable time to be put in place. Its effectiveness precisely depends to a large extent on said placement, because it if is not arranged in the appropriate place it may go unnoticed by the drivers of nearby vehicles.
  • each of these devices comprises a casing in which there are integrated an emitter configured to emit a first signal from a first vehicle and a receiver configured to receive a second signal coming from a second vehicle or object.
  • the casing also integrates a manual activation module configured to activate and deactivate the emitter.
  • warning signals are often send to vehicles traveling in other directions or on other roadways when it is actually not necessary. This is due to the lack of precision in the orientation of the first signal, which furthermore does not take into account the vehicle running direction.
  • the device lacks safety elements that assure the emission of warning signals automatically, for example in the event of a serious accident in which the occupants are left unconscious.
  • Document US2007/096892A1 relates to a method for alerting a hazard, which comprises the steps of generating a warning signal for alerting the hazard, and communicating the warning signal to oncoming vehicles through vehicle to vehicle communications.
  • Document US2007/096892A1 also relates to a communication element on-board a vehicle, configured to receive a warning signal associated with a hazard and relay the warning signal to an additional vehicle so as to alert the additional vehicle of the hazard.
  • the present invention solves the aforementioned problems by means of a signal emitter-receiver device for instant warning about highway incidents, comprising a travel direction monitoring module which allows emitting a first warning signal when abnormal movement of the vehicle takes place, orienting said signal according to the travel direction prior to said abnormal movement.
  • the device of the present invention has an optimized configuration and compact design that improve its operating efficiency, and which at the same time assures its durability and makes it easier for users to use it.
  • the signal emitter-receiver device for warning about highway incidents of the present invention is configured to be installed in vehicles of any type, whether they are vehicles for private use or public use (ambulances, police vehicles, tow trucks, etc.). In particular cases, it is also possible to install the device in fixed signaling objects.
  • Said device comprises a programmable integrated circuit; an emitter configured to emit a first signal from a first vehicle; a receiver configured to receive a second signal emitted by a second vehicle or object; and a manual activation module configured to activate and deactivate the emitter.
  • the programmable integrated circuit is preferably selected from ZigBee, Microchip or Radiometrix modules, depending on the power consumption, propagation measurement and distance from the first signal. They are preferably integrated in the device as a child module in a printed circuit board (PCB).
  • PCB printed circuit board
  • both the first signal (emitted signal) and the second signal (received signal) are radio frequency signals within the free ISM band, for example at 868 Hz or 2.4 GHz.
  • the emission of the first signal is preferably put out in broadcast mode, i.e., to a multitude of receiver nodes simultaneously, being able to be open or having its own exclusive protocol for the device of the present invention. It is provided that both the emission of the first signal and the reception of the second signal also have coverage even when traveling in a tunnel.
  • infrared signals can also be used in particular cases.
  • Said device comprises a travel direction monitoring module which has:
  • This module is basic for assuring proper automatic mode operation of the device, for example, in the event of a serious accident in which the occupants are left unconscious, and in which the orientation of the vehicle has changed with respect to the travel direction of the lane in which it was traveling.
  • Movement monitoring is based on the digital accelerometer. Both sudden accelerations and decelerations, for example starting from ⁇ 1.5 G, are contemplated as abnormal movements. A sudden deceleration is usually linked to the unwanted stopping of the vehicle, either because of an accident or a breakdown. Travel direction monitoring is based on the magnetometer or digital compass, for example of the tilt compensated LSM303/HMC6352 type.
  • the device of the present invention comprises a series of additional modules that improve the performance thereof and are conceived to increasing operating efficiency.
  • one of the main factors to be taken into account is the autonomy of the device and how easy it is to charge electrically.
  • the device comprises a power supply module which has a rechargeable and interchangeable battery, for example a lithium polymer (Li-Po) battery, as it is a lightweight, high-capacity, high-performance battery that is rapidly recharged.
  • a rechargeable and interchangeable battery for example a lithium polymer (Li-Po) battery
  • the device is provided with several options to charge the battery.
