Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a vehicle for synergistically evoking both deceleration and guidance to a driver by using a combination of a side edge sign and a deceleration sign in front of a facility where the vehicle may enter. The present invention relates to a deceleration guidance system.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art There are many cases in which a deceleration or guidance sign is not provided or only one of them is provided in front of a facility where a vehicle can be considered. The effect of evoking in the form that includes it is low.

[0003] As a method of decelerating a vehicle, there is a method of installing a hump-shaped protrusion on a roadway to apply unstable vibration to the vehicle to decelerate the vehicle. However, there is generally no guidance or notification to a driver. There is a possibility that the driver may ride on the protrusion without noticing the presence of the protrusion. When such a situation occurs, the steering wheel may be taken out of the lane and come into contact with surrounding facilities or vehicles traveling around.

[0004] Conventional hump-shaped projections are sometimes colored in a conspicuous color to try to evoke recognition of the deceleration sign, but the projections themselves are often small and occupy the road surface. Because the area ratio is small, it often does not lead to sufficient recognition.

[0005]

In front of a facility where vehicles can enter, deceleration and guidance signs are often not provided, or only one of them is provided. The effect of evoking both forms including induction is low.

[0006] The hump-shaped protrusion provided on the roadway is:
Generally, when there is no guidance or notification to the driver and the driver gets on the protrusion without noticing the presence of the protrusion,
The steering wheel may be taken off the lane and come into contact with surrounding equipment or vehicles traveling around.

[0007] Conventional hump-shaped projections are sometimes colored in a conspicuous color to try to evoke visual perception, but the projections themselves are often small, in which case the proportion of the area occupying the road surface is increased. Because they are small, they often do not lead to sufficient recognition.

[0008] In view of this, the present invention uses a side edge sign and a deceleration sign together in front of a facility where vehicle entry is conceivable.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a vehicle deceleration guidance system that synergistically evokes both deceleration and guidance to a driver.

[0009]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a lane which is provided continuously on both side edges of a lane in the vehicle traveling direction for the purpose of guidance, in front of facilities where a vehicle may enter. A combination of a side edge sign that regulates the width and a plurality of deceleration signs that are oriented in a direction that intersects the vehicle traveling direction and that extend to near both side edge signs and that are provided at intervals for deceleration purposes Effectively decelerates the driver,
It is characterized by stimulating both guidance.

[0010] In the vehicle deceleration guidance system according to the present invention, side edge markings provided continuously on both sides of the lane in the vehicle traveling direction act on the driver's awareness of the width by regulating the width of the lane, thereby calling attention. Induce and induce. In addition, a plurality of deceleration signs provided in a direction intersecting the traveling direction of the vehicle and provided at intervals provide a driver with an illusion of physical vibration or a three-dimensional pattern on the vehicle to encourage the driver to decelerate. Further, since the deceleration sign has an extension to the vicinity of the both-side margin sign, the area occupied by the road surface is large, and even when the deceleration sign is a protrusion, recognition becomes easy, which leads to safer deceleration. The deceleration sign also plays a complementary role to the guidance sign.

[0011] The side edge marking is not particularly limited as long as it is provided continuously on both side edges of the lane and regulates the lane width. Alternatively, a material that is liable to be peeled or damaged by a vehicle getting on is not preferable. Therefore, it is preferable to use a road marking material such as a road marking paint, a three-dimensional marking sheet, a road stud, a self-luminous body, a hump-shaped projection, and a lane width regulating means such as a columnar marking.

The deceleration sign indicates that the vehicle directly passes over the sign, and it is not preferable that the sign is prone to peeling or damage, that the height is too large from the road surface, or that the steep angle is increased. Therefore, it is preferable to use road marking materials such as road marking paints, three-dimensional marking sheets, and hump-shaped protrusions.

For road marking paints, three-dimensional marking sheets, etc.,
Retroreflection may be provided by mixing glass beads or the like.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS One embodiment of the present invention will be specifically described below with reference to the drawings. Figures 1, 2 and 3
Is an embodiment according to the present invention, in which the driver decelerates,
It is explanatory drawing which shows the state of the road surface which evokes guidance.

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a line for regulating the lane width formed of road marking paint as a side edge sign, and reference numeral 2 denotes a hump-shaped projection extending in a direction intersecting the vehicle traveling direction as a deceleration sign. Things. The side edge sign 1 induces guidance to the course of the vehicle, and the projection 2 gives unstable vibrations when the vehicle gets on or the like, and induces deceleration. In addition, the two projections have extensions extending to the vicinity of the both side edge markings, thereby facilitating visual recognition from the driver.

In FIG. 2, reference numeral 3 denotes a columnar marker as a side edge sign, and reference numeral 4 denotes a line made of a road marking paint extending in a direction intersecting the vehicle traveling direction as a deceleration sign. The side edge sign 3 evokes guidance to the course of the vehicle, and the deceleration sign 4 visually evokes deceleration as it looks like a horizontal stripe. In addition, the deceleration sign 4 has an extension to the vicinity of the both-side margin sign, thereby making it easy for the driver to visually recognize the deceleration sign.

In FIG. 3, reference numeral 5 designates a three-dimensional marking sheet as a side edge marking, which is a plane, but is raised three-dimensionally by using the illusion of the eyes to visually recognize it. Reference numeral 6 denotes a hump-shaped protrusion extending as a deceleration sign in a direction intersecting the vehicle traveling direction. The side edge marking 5 induces guidance to the course of the vehicle, and the protrusion 6 gives unstable vibration when the vehicle runs over, and induces deceleration. In addition, the protrusion 6 has an extension up to the vicinity of both side edge markings, thereby facilitating visual recognition from a driver.

[0018]

The vehicle deceleration guidance system according to the present invention has the following features.
By using both the side edge sign and the deceleration sign in a synergistic way, the driver can both decelerate and prompt both the driver to decelerate and guide the vehicle. It is possible to prevent the vehicle from running out of the lane when the vehicle comes into contact with the vehicle and the vehicle gets on the protrusion, and a contact accident caused thereby.

The place of application is not particularly limited as long as it is in front of facilities where vehicles can enter.
For example, parking lot exits and entrances of commercial facilities, fast food drive-throughs, entrances of commercial facilities, bus and taxi stands at stations and terminal buildings, places for getting on and off general vehicles, parking lots in commercial facilities and curves of taxiways A point, an intersection with a crossing, a place with poor visibility, and a place where an automatic toll collection system is installed, such as entrances and exits of toll roads, parking lots, and gas stations.
