Description

Traffic accident simulator for loss Real-time control.

Object

The present invention, as expressed in the set forth in this specification, refers to a device (SAT-LOC) that simulates in real time the loss of control of a vehicle with four or more wheels caused by different adverse situations that may occur during driving and ending in traffic accident. This device (SAT-LOC) has been conceived and realized in order to obtain numerous and notable advantages over others Existing means of analogous purposes.

The device (SAT-LOC) is intended to be anchored to the chassis of any four vehicle or more wheels and thus repeatedly reproduce risk situations which can lead to a traffic accident and provide the user driver of the acquired behavior vehicle that will make possible control that situation of loss of control preventing it I ended up in a sinister.

Well, the device (SAT-LOC) is based on an extensible subframe equipped with two trains (front and rear) and four wheels located each one at one of its ends and that through a system of winches and levers raise the axles of the vehicle (anchored on the device) by choice of monitor / teacher / specialist who will command the SAT-LOC from inside the vehicle using a remote control and thus provoke only 10 kilometers per hour understeer, oversteer and total loss of grip on the pavement on which it circulates simulating driving on sliding surfaces such as ice, water (aquaplaning), snow, mud, oil, etc ...

Background

We currently have an alarming number of deaths from traffic accidents in our roads and we find the absence of a method clearly effective to solve this very serious problem since the current methods that we can find treat in schools of advanced driving that only reproduce skids at high speeds of the rear of the vehicle using circuits and tracks with sliding pavement unable to reproduce other situations of loss of control of the vehicle such as snow or mud and which are primarily intended for fans of the Driving or professional pilots. These driving courses advanced imply a physical risk for the student in the event in the one that could not take control of the vehicle, being able to end equally in tragedy.

We can also find some simulators virtual ones that are not able to reproduce the different sensations and real situations so they are ineffective, in addition to finding Very few units and with very high costs for users.

Explanation of the invention.

The present invention allows us to simulate and reproduce in real time all these situations of loss of control (water, mud, ice, snow ...) at a speed of only 10 km / hour thus eliminating any risk for both students as for teachers and in need of an area of only 1000 m2, the device can be used in any parking or solar (for example in a school parking lot so that parents can take the course before picking up the children) and reducing costs very noticeably making a system In addition to cash, accessible to all users, whether professionals (ambulance drivers, taxi drivers, truck drivers ...) or non-professional users (housewives, drivers usual ...).

The device of the invention SAT-LOC consists of two identical trains, one Front and other rear. Each train is composed of: one axis transverse, a winch with two identical steel lines, two automatic cable tensioners, two force levers (one right and other left), two turn systems (one per end), two lifting systems (one per end) and two wheels (one per turning system).

Each wheel has a turning capacity 360º independent. Each lifting system raises or lowers the end of the axis on which it is located, increasing or decreasing the car-school tire contact with the pavement.

The operation of the turn systems would be similar to that of a supermarket cart, in which the wheels rotate independently according to the inertia they receive.

These two trains are linked together by two 50 mm high rectangular tubular steel stringers x 100 mm wide with 3 mm thick and variable length between 3500 mm and 6000 mm depending on the vehicle to which it is attached allowing to use the SAT-LOC with vehicles of any size (for example a SEAT 500 or an Ambulance).

In turn, these two stringers meet joined together by two 50 mm high rectangular steel tubes x 100 mm wide with 3 mm thick and 1000 mm long in position parallel to the trains. The distance between these tubes may vary according to the anchor point of the car-school sliding down the crossbars as a slide to finally set the required distance.

Above the SAT-LOC device is will place the car-school, which will be fixed to the SAT-LOC using installed screws previously in these aforementioned stringers. The anchor will be made to the front and rear suspension trapezoids of the vehicle. He school car in no time will exceed the speed of 10 km / h getting this way to be a method completely safe for both students and for teachers / monitors / specialists, unlike methods existing in which it is essential to drive at a speed high (over 80 km / h) and have previously prepared the pavement on which it will circulate with sliding substances such as water or oils.

The short distance of school car for pavement added to exaggerated axle width, makes it impossible to dump in any of the cases.

Another of the main features of SAT-LOC is that it does not need more than 1000 m2 to operate at 100% without the need to be used in circuits of speed or similar, unlike other driving systems safe.

The SAT-LOC is commanded from the inside the vehicle using a wired or type remote control wireless which includes five functions and those derived from its combinations:

- Button one: raise front axle.

- Button two: lower front axle.

- Button three: raise rear axle.

- Button four: lower rear axle.

- Button five: emergency descent.

- Combination 1 (buttons one and three in set): raise front and rear axles together.

The purpose is explained below and consequences of these functions mentioned above:

- Climb front axle: circulating at just 10 km / h we raise the front axle of the car-school in March. We reduce the contact of the front tires of this (the car-school) simulating an understeer by loss of adhesion of the front train. It is the loss situation most common control in vehicles with front-wheel drive. We simulate loss of control due to excessive speed in the curve.

- Lower front axle: in just a few tenths second, the school car recovers traction initial and natural of the same, this function being in turn a control tool for monitors / teachers / specialists.

- Raise rear axle: circulating at only 10 km / h we raise the rear axle of the car-school in March. We reduce the contact of the rear tires of this (the car-school) simulating an oversteer by loss of adhesion of the rear train. It is the loss situation most common control in vehicles with rear-wheel drive. This loss of control situation is also very common at high speeds in front-wheel drive vehicles or all-wheel drive (traction on all four wheels). We simulate loss of control due to excess of cornering speed (with rear-wheel drive) or speeding in violent maneuvers (all tractions).

- Lower rear axle: in just a few tenths of second the car-school recovers traction initial and natural of the same, this function being in turn a control tool for monitors / teachers / specialists.

- Climb front and rear axles together: driving at just 10 km / h we raise the front and rear axles Simultaneously of the car-school in progress. We reduce thus the contact of the tires of this (the car-school) simulating a total loss of traction and adhesion in both front-wheel drive vehicles, rear or integral (four-wheel drive). We simulate loss control for adverse weather conditions or firm sliding such as ice, water (aquaplaning), mud, stains oil on the pavement, etc.

- Emergency lowering: through this function we lower any of the previously raised axes (either front, rear or both together) of car-school and thus recover the initial traction and its natural, this function being a control tool for monitors / teachers / specialists.

The SAT-LOC device lacks autonomy and feeds on the battery of short car linked by two cables positive and two negative ranging from the winches located in the front and rear trains to the battery of car-school and command that will be found in the inside of it (car-school).
