Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for adjusting the luminous intensity of a light signal.
  • light signals are used in the most diverse modes of transport.
  • the luminosity of these light signals must have a minimum brightness in order to ensure sufficient visibility for the road user.
  • backlighting can lead to the eye of a road user and / or the light sensor of a vehicle in water, road, rail and / or air traffic, a light signal located in the backlight can no longer recognize what hazards and Accidents with far-reaching damage to humans and material. For example, it can happen that a car driver can not see a turned-on turn signal of a railroad crossing due to glare from the sun.
  • the document US 2010 0182 164 A1 discloses a light signal in which the luminous intensity is adapted to the ambient brightness, due to a measurement of a photosensor, which is attached to the signal unit.
  • the present invention is therefore based on the object of specifying a method for adjusting the luminous intensity of a light signal, in which the probability that the actual light signal goes down in the backlight is at least very greatly reduced.
  • the method ensures that by integrating the calculation of the position of the sun, it is possible to adjust the luminous intensity which, in the event of a potential danger of backlighting, namely whenever the main sunbeam direction is within the main emission cone, increases Light signal relative to the backlight luminous increases moderately. As a result, the risk that the light signal could be overlooked in the backlight, at least greatly mitigated or even completely eliminated.
  • such time intervals can be counted during the overlap periods, during which the main sun ray direction deviates from the main emission cone of the light signal up to a predeterminable solid angle.
  • FIG. 1 schematically a railroad crossing 2 with a light signal 4, which radiates at a Switzerlandan institutionalrung a warning signal with a Schoabstrahlkegel 6 in the direction of a driver not shown here.
  • three solar states a), b) and c) are shown, which emit sunlight in each case with a main sun ray direction 8a, 8b, 8c in the direction of the light signal 4.
  • the main sun ray direction 8b at the position of the sun b) lies exactly within the main emission cone 6.
  • the main sun ray direction 8c lies only relatively close to the main emission cone.
  • the main sun ray direction can be given by the normal vector on the solar surface, which aims precisely at the position of the light source in the light signal.
  • the three positions of the sun a), b) and c) could represent the course of the sun on one day, for example in winter when the position of the sun was low.
  • Half an hour before and half an hour after the position of the sun b) shown here is the main sun ray direction 8b within the determined Hauptabstrahlkegels 6.
  • the luminosity of the light signal 4 is therefore increased within this interval, eg doubled.
  • the margins of this interval for example +/- 15 minutes, the luminosity is still raised compared to the normal luminosity.
  • This condition would correspond, for example, to the position of the sun a), where the main sun ray direction is no longer within the particular Hauptabstrahlkegels 6, but still is oriented close enough to the fact that there is a residual risk due to the backlight.
  • This state represents a certain tolerance range, which is counted at the overlap periods, during which the main sun ray direction deviates from the main emission cone of the light signal up to a predeterminable solid angle.
  • the three solar states 8a, 8b, 8c also represent the position of the sun at the same time of day t z on three different days of the year. As a result, this does not change the situation, however, that for the time interval around the time of day t z at the position of the sun b) the luminosity of the light signal for an interval of [t z -1 h; t z + 1 h] is greatly increased because of the prevailing backlight here.
  • FIG. 2 shows an enlargement of the situation for the two sun states b) and c) and is self-explanatory.
