ES2208109A1 - System for detection and forward visualization of vehicles or persons at points in pathway of low visibility through optical or acoustic device, has two mirrors at front corners or halved in front center of vehicle hood - Google Patents

Abstract

The detection and visualization system has two mirrors at the front corners or halved in the front center of a vehicle hood. The system is incorporated at the upper front part of the vehicle to allow a driver entering a junction or exiting a garage with safety.

Description

System for detection and / or visualization advanced vehicles or people at low crossings visibility.

This system is based on the incorporation into road vehicles (mainly cars) of a device that lets drivers know, at a junction of limited visibility, at the exit of a garage, etc., if Approach a vehicle (on the right or left) with a anticipation greater than the current method allows (advance Slowly driven vehicle until visually secured if someone else approaches on either side).

Background of the invention

According to exploration conducted on patents at In this regard, no antecedent has been found.

Description of the invention

Often to drivers when they arrive at a crossing where they don't have priority it is difficult for them to traffic observation in it. Vehicles approaching by right or left, others standing near the intersection, obstacles such as containers, etc., make entry into Crossings are sometimes even dangerous. The current method we use all drivers is to enter, at those crossings without priority, in a slow way until our own eye we it allows to observe that no vehicle is approaching by anyone from the sides Thus, and sometimes accidents occur at collide two vehicles at this type of crossroads when the one approaching on the road with priority can not stop on time and impacts against the front of the one who is entering it.

To avoid a significant number of this type of collisions could be incorporated to vehicles in their corners upper front a device that allowed the drivers at a junction see and / or hear if a vehicle is approaching with an anticipation greater than that allowed by the current method (that of enter slowly at the junction). Such a device would be incorporated into the body of the vehicle and would only be activated at an order of driver from your cabin, for example in the way They raise the spotlights of some sports cars. In the same way this device could be deactivated after a few seconds in the case that the driver forgot his deactivation.

The devices could be one or several and their variable arrangement whenever it was in the most advanced part of the vehicle, where the information could arrive before driver. The possibility of incorporating is also contemplated. mobility to the device to correct the viewing angle at crossings  that required it (how some rearview mirrors work current exteriors).

Description of a preferred embodiment

The most practical system would perhaps result from the placement of two mirrors in the front corners or one split in the middle in the central front of the car's hood. In the driver's compartment a desired button or mechanism would activate the system, which would allow the driver to see if Approach another vehicle at the intersection without having to advance your own until, by your own eye without the help of other elements, check that can cross or join the road without danger of collision.

Claims (1)

1. System for detection and / or visualization advanced vehicles or people at points of the low track visibility through a device, optical, acoustic or mixing of both, which incorporated into the upper front of the vehicle allows the driver to enter or exit of a garage, for example, with greater security. So, not having to put the entire hood of the car at a junction to make sure that no No vehicle is coming, the entry in the above could be more safe and accidents would be avoided.
