Easy to handle, inexpensive, high-performance, excellent in operability, durability and maintainability, and equipped with this device, drivers who are tired from long-distance driving effectively use waiting time. It has a very beneficial effect such as being able to take a nap with peace of mind.

1 is a perspective view of a forward vehicle monitoring notification transmission device according to an embodiment of the present invention. It is a usage condition figure at the time of carrying the example of use of this invention and mounting a forward vehicle monitoring report transmission device in a refrigeration vehicle. It is a usage condition figure when the example of use of this invention is shown and a front vehicle monitoring report transmission device is carried in a taxi.

    As a form for carrying out the present invention, it is necessary for vehicles such as trucks (T1) for transporting luggage such as frozen foods and taxis (T2) for carrying passengers, which need to wait in line in a line in the longitudinal direction. It is installed and the distance between the vehicle ahead and the vehicle behind is detected and recognized, and the driver waiting for the turn moves and starts moving when the driver is in a nap. A monitoring notification transmission device that transmits an abnormal transmission signal and transmits a notification to the driver of the vehicle behind the vehicle, and the device is mounted in front of the vehicle and instantly detects a change in the inter-vehicle distance due to the movement start of the vehicle ahead. An inter-vehicle distance detection sensor (1) such as an infrared sensor for detecting and transmitting an abnormal transmission signal and an electric signal transmitted from the inter-vehicle distance detection sensor (1) are received and an abnormal transmission signal is transmitted. Control device (2) , And from the front the vehicle monitoring and reporting transmission apparatus characterized by comprising a notification transmission means for reporting transmit the starting movement of the forward vehicle to the driver of the following vehicle.

    Therefore, when one embodiment of the present invention is described in detail with reference to FIG. 1, as shown in FIG. 1, the forward vehicle monitoring notification transmission device is mounted on the front portion of the vehicle and stores the inter-vehicle distance with the forward vehicle, When the vehicle ahead starts moving, the inter-vehicle distance detection sensor (1) such as an infrared sensor for instantaneously detecting a change in the inter-vehicle distance and sending a signal to the control device, and the signal transmitted from the detection sensor, The control vehicle (2) for transmitting the notification buzzer (3) and the notification vibrator (4), and the driver taking a nap, the vehicle in front moved and started moving with sound and vibration. It is composed of a buzzer for reporting (3) and a vibrator for reporting (4).

    Next, an example of the method of use will be described. First, the inter-vehicle distance detection sensor (1) such as an infrared sensor used in the apparatus can instantaneously measure the inter-vehicle distance between the front vehicle and the rear vehicle. When the set distance is exceeded, an abnormal signal is transmitted. For example, when the apparatus is mounted on a long vehicle (T1) such as a refrigerated truck, the vehicle (T1) is temporarily used as shown in FIG. Length (approx. 6220mm) + inter-vehicle distance (approx. 1000mm) = approx. 7220mm, set the inter-vehicle distance to 10000mm (10m) in advance, and the waiting vehicle in front of the vehicle will be unloaded. When the vehicle starts moving in the direction and exceeds 10m, an abnormal signal is sent and the control device (2) is activated, and the reporting buzzer (3) and reporting vibrator (4), or reporting buzzer (3) and reporting vibrator 4) either with one operates in is intended to inform the driver in the nap emits a sound or vibration.

    In addition, when this apparatus is used with a short vehicle (T2) such as a taxi, as shown in FIG. 3, the length of the vehicle (about 4870 mm) + the distance between vehicles (about 1000 mm) = about 8000 mm. In this case, an inter-vehicle distance is set to 8000 mm (8 m) in advance, and a passenger (BV) is put on the vehicle. Therefore, if the front vehicle (T2) starts moving and the inter-vehicle distance with the rear vehicle exceeds 8 m, an abnormal signal is sent. The control device (2) works and both the notification buzzer (3) and the notification vibrator (4) are activated to generate sound and vibration, or the notification buzzer (3) and the notification vibrator (4). Any one of them is activated, and a sound or vibration is emitted to notify the napping driver.

    With regard to the above-mentioned report transmission means (report buzzer and report vibrator), a signal is sent to both the report buzzer (3) and the report vibrator (4) according to the situation judgment when the driver takes a nap, Both of them can be operated, or two types of methods can be selected: a method of transmitting a signal to either one of the notification buzzer (3) or the notification vibrator (4) and operating only one of them.

    The outline of the installation procedure of this apparatus will be described. An inter-vehicle distance detection sensor (1) such as an infrared sensor for measuring an inter-vehicle distance between a front vehicle and a rear vehicle is a bumper located in front of the vehicle, a front grill or the like. The control device (2) selects and installs a location where it can be easily operated in the vicinity of the driver's seat. In addition, the DC power supply terminal (5) of this device is securely inserted into the DC power supply terminal insertion slot (5 '), and the notification vibrator (4) is installed on the backrest portion of the driver's seat.
