Abstract
Description
La présente invention concerne la signalisation routière, et plus particulièrement les croisements entre une voie ferrée et une route. Donc les passages à niveau gardés ou non gardés. The present invention relates to road signs, and more particularly to the crossings between a railway track and a road. So guarded or unguarded level crossings.
Actuellement les passages à niveau, sont signalés par un panneau triangulaire, un feu rouge et une barrière ou demi-barrière. Currently, level crossings are indicated by a triangular sign, a red light and a barrier or half-barrier.
La signalisation actuelle, présente plusieurs inconvénients. En effet - la majorité des automobilistes roule à une vitesse
supérieure à la vitesse autorisée, - la plupart des routes présentent un virage avant et
après le passage à niveau.Current signage has several drawbacks. Indeed - the majority of motorists drive at a speed
higher than the authorized speed, - most roads have a forward turn and
after the level crossing.
- La majorité des automobilistes est peu atentive au
panneau triangulaire,
Un automobiliste arrivant au moment du passage d'un train sans avoir ralenti en voyant le panneau triangulaire ntapperçoit le feu rouge et la barrière abaissée, qu'après le virage. Or s'il circule à vive allure ( ce qui est très souvent le cas ) il est dans l'impossibilité matérielle d'arrêter son véhicule avant d'avoir défoncé la barrière. I1 s'ensuit des accidents, parfois mortels.- The majority of motorists pay little attention to
triangular panel,
A motorist arriving at the time of the passage of a train without having slowed down when seeing the triangular panel does not see the red light and the barrier lowered until after the turn. However if he is traveling at high speed (which is very often the case) he is in the material impossibility of stopping his vehicle before having broken down the barrier. Accidents, sometimes fatal, ensue.
Le dispositif selon la présente invention, permet de diminuer la fréquence et la gravité de ces collisions. The device according to the present invention makes it possible to reduce the frequency and the severity of these collisions.
La présente invention est constituée par une combinaison de moyens qui, à ma connaissance, n'ont jamais été rassemblés pour résoudre ce type de problème. The present invention consists of a combination of means which, to my knowledge, have never been brought together to solve this type of problem.
Le dispositif selon l'invention, comprend - sur chacune des routes d'accés, un ensemble de 4
poteaux : A, B, C, D. implantés avant le passage à niveau. The device according to the invention comprises - on each of the access routes, a set of 4
posts: A, B, C, D. installed before the level crossing.
- au bord de la voie ferrée un système destiné à avertir le conducteur du train, que la signalisation routière fonctionne mal.- at the edge of the railway track a system intended to warn the train driver that the road signs are malfunctioning.
A titre d'exemple non limitatif, le poteau A sera placé 50 cm avant la barrière, le poteau B, 5 mètres avant la barrière. By way of nonlimiting example, the post A will be placed 50 cm before the barrier, the post B, 5 meters before the barrier.
Les poteaux C et D seront implantés a une distance suffisante pour permettre à un camion roulant à 140 km/h de freiner avant le passage à niveau. Posts C and D will be located at a sufficient distance to allow a truck traveling at 140 km / h to brake before the crossing.
A titre d'exemple non limitatif, le poteau C pourrait être placé à 195 mètres avant la barrière et le poteau D, 200 mètres avant la barrière. By way of nonlimiting example, the post C could be placed 195 meters before the barrier and the post D, 200 meters before the barrier.
Les poteaux A et D seront équipes d'un système de feux tricolores. Posts A and D will be fitted with a three-color light system.
Les poteaux B et C, seront équipés, d'un panneau d'affichage électronique lumineux. Le texte figurant sur ces panneaux pourra être modifié à tout moment, à partir d'une gare ou d'un poste central. Posts B and C will be equipped with a luminous electronic display panel. The text on these panels can be changed at any time, from a station or a central station.
Exemple d'utilisation - 10 minutes avant le passage du train, les feux tricolores passent à l'orange clignotant. Les panneaux B et C affichent le texte suivant : "Attention au train" - 2 minutes avant le passage du train, les feux tricolores passent au rouge. les panneaux B et C affichent : " Stop danger, passage de train" - après le passage du train, les feux tricolores passent au vert. Les panneaux B et C affichent " Merci " ou, pour la France " la SNCF vous remercie". Example of use - 10 minutes before the train passes, the traffic lights turn to flashing orange. Panels B and C display the following text: "Watch out for the train" - 2 minutes before the train passes, the traffic lights turn red. panels B and C display: "Stop danger, train crossing" - after the train has passed, the traffic lights will turn green. Panels B and C display "Thank you" or, for France "SNCF thank you".
- 10 minutes après le passage du train, les panneaux
d'affichage et les feux tricolores s'éteignent, et
restent éteint jusqu'au prochain train. - 10 minutes after the train has passed, the signs
display and the traffic lights go out, and
remain off until the next train.
