JP2014019312A - Winker continuously shortened in interval after 3 seconds - Google Patents

Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a color changeable winker lamp having two or more changes discernible from the outside by the others.SOLUTION: After the passage of several statutory seconds enabling turning from the start of blinking the winker lamp of a vehicle or after statutory meter traveling enabling turning, next blinking of a color different from a first blinking color.

Description

In order to make the presenter better understand the effect of blinking of the blinker lamp, the present invention has a fixed blinking interval for the first color of the blinker lamp, and from now on, after the blinking for 3 seconds. This relates to the timing setting for the transition to the variable blinking interval.

Conventionally, the blinker lamp blinking color is stipulated by the law as only one color, and it has been used for conforming to traffic regulations by blinking it 3 seconds before or 30 meters under the current law from the required timing.
In this way, the traffic is flowing peacefully, but in the case of an unfortunate emergency, that is, an accident, there is often a fuss about the blinking time.
That is, the lighting time is only 0, 1-2 seconds ago, and at the same time as it starts to bend almost, enough time to inform the intention that the blinker blinking car will bend, to other cars, especially to the other party of the accident, It was not given.

Patent 4540004

This is one of the blind spots and disadvantages of the winker lamp, which is a convenient mechanism, and it is a major drawback of the traffic safety mechanism.
The present invention minimizes its drawbacks as much as possible, and from there is a new “traffic safety mechanism” that goes beyond the “traffic safety mechanism” stipulated by the current law. The challenge is the development of a one-tiered “traffic safety mechanism”.
From the viewpoint that if the flashing interval is changed suddenly, the bad influence on the traffic weak can not be denied, we will dare to avoid the difference between the flashing intervals, which is an advantage of the present invention. It was decided to deal with it by tightening (expanding) the interval.
Up to the minimum (large) frame of legal restrictions.

It is possible to blink different types of type 1 and type 2 with the function of blinking at different intervals after the legal number of seconds that may start turning after blinking the blinker lamp of the car. Further, the blinking of the second type enables the blinker lamp to change from the same speed as the last round of the first type to gradually longer or shorter.
If you change the blinking interval suddenly, it is possible in the traffic society, but if the car does not move due to some external circumstances, it blinks from the viewpoint that it can not deny the bad influence on the traffic weak I tried to make the difference between the intervals as small as possible.

The function of blinking with different time intervals between blinking either after legal meter driving that may start turning after blinking the turn signal lamp of the car or after legal number of seconds that may start turning The first type and the second type of different flashing provided, and the second type of flashing can be changed from the same speed as the last round of the first type to gradually longer or shorter. Characteristic blinker lamp.
If you change the blinking interval suddenly, it is possible in the traffic society, but if the car does not move due to some external circumstances, it blinks from the viewpoint that it can not deny the bad influence on the traffic weak I tried to make the difference between the intervals as small as possible.
The present invention is a “color changeable turn signal lamp” having the above-described configuration.

This plan is a new method that will be described later, and it is more likely that after the legal number of meters travel that may begin to bend and after the legal number of seconds that may begin to bend, the legal number of seconds will be unified. If you do not think about the clearance by the police authorities for the time being, for the sake of simplification, unifying the elements of mileage and time into elements of time, that is, including the case where the mileage after 30 meters is all In the case of the invention, it is a plan to be unified after 3 seconds.
In addition, flashing in which the time interval between flashes is different means that, for example, when the current time interval between normal flashes is “1”, the first type 1 is “4/3” and the second second. The seed is set to “2/3”, etc. However, “1, 4/3, 2/4” here is only an example.

So far, even a conscientious driver who doesn't try to turn in a hurry for 3 seconds or 30 meters can only be estimated about after about 3 seconds or about 30 meters. The time, distance is clearly for drivers equipped with the product of the present invention after the blinker lamp of the second color starts flashing, or after the transition from lighting to flashing, or the time between flashes It can be determined that after 3 seconds, that is, after 3 seconds or more than 30 meters.
As a result, even if it is not possible for the police authorities to carry out the clearance according to the present invention, the impact on the driver himself, and in turn, on the traffic society, can be enormous.

Right turn scene when using the new winker

If you think about the meaning of blinking blinker lamp from both the blinking side and the viewing side,
When the turn signal lamp is turned on or blinking to make a turn, it becomes the first pattern, after the legal number of seconds that may begin to bend, or after the legal meter that may begin to turn, the second pattern is reached , The driver himself can know when it ’s good to bend for the first time.
Of course, for example, when the blinker lamp of your car blinks to the outside of the car, the driver recognizes and recognizes the change, that is, the change to blinking, in the car as well. .
Until now, even conscientious drivers could only have estimated that after about 3 seconds or about 30 meters, after all the flashing intervals changed clearly, It can be determined that after 3 seconds or more than 30 meters.
As a result, even if it is not possible for the police authorities to carry out the clearance according to the present invention, the impact on the driver himself, and in turn, on the traffic society, can be enormous.

In addition, the person who sees it from the outside of the vehicle admits that it will be a little difficult to understand in this case. It will be obvious at a glance whether or not the time of the beginning of the turn.

One problem here is that if you are timing the right time to turn, you have a turn signal, but even if only 1 second has passed, you have to wait 2 seconds. For example, the color of the blinker lamp changes from one color to another, or starts blinking while maintaining the same color,
If the timing is measured by the distance traveled, even if you want to turn a turn signal at a point 29 meters away, there will be no change in the turn signal forever under this system.
Therefore, the idea of changing the blinker at the earlier or later time with the mileage factor and the time factor after the blinker lights up occurred, of course, especially in the current legal system, it is tremendous Although it is a plan,

On the other hand, it should be seen that the meaning and purpose of turning the turn signal in advance and showing the intention to turn to others are the same, regardless of the distance traveled or the time.

For example, when you calculate how much you actually run in 3 seconds at each speed,
60km / h ... 50m
50km / h ... 41,6 ... m
40 km per hour ... 33,3 ... m,
On roads with a speed limit of 40 km / h or more, that is, on most roads, the statutory meter that may begin to bend, that is, after 30 m, will start faster than the lapse of the statutory number of seconds that may begin to bend. But
It should be noted here that the car turns immediately after this, so it is assumed that it will naturally decelerate, and at least the above distance will not run.
Considering this point, it is also a proposal to summarize the differences between the two.
Including this, even after the legal number of seconds has passed, there is almost no problem in actual use rather than clearance by police authorities.

In the case of not considering the clearance by the police authorities according to the present invention, for the sake of simplification, the elements of mileage and time are unified into the elements of time, that is, the mileage after 30 meters is included. All unify after 3 seconds, ie
"The driver puts a blinker at least 3 seconds before turning to let others know his intention to turn."
"3 seconds ago, morality"
“Easy, simpler is easier to spread”
Disseminating this moral is easy and simple as a legal system and in terms of vehicle mechanism, that is, it is possible to introduce the system more quickly and at a lower cost.
Even if it is natural to refrain from being cleared if the traffic itself will reach you so much that you are stuck with “3 seconds ago”.
And it is proposed here as a proposal that, in the long run, also puts a lot of effort into reforming the legal system itself;

1 Check the rear vehicle and the safety behind the right lane with the rearview mirror,
A right winker (coloring of the first pattern) is issued to change the course to the right.

2. The course is changed after 3 seconds have passed since the right winker (coloring of the first pattern) was issued.

3 After 3 seconds, the right blinker automatically changes from the first pattern to the second pattern.
In the rearview mirror again, check the safety behind the following vehicle and the right lane,
Furthermore, turn your face and quickly check the safety near the right side.

4 Gradually change the course to the right and change lanes.

5 After changing the course, return the right winker (coloring of the second pattern).

6 By 30 meters before the intersection, give a right turn signal (color development of the first pattern) as a signal for turning right, and reduce the speed.

7 After running 30 meters, the right turn signal automatically changes from the first pattern to the second pattern.

8 Paying attention to the left and right cars, turn right while slowly driving just inside the center of the intersection.

9 Right winker (color development of the second pattern)
Continue until you turn right.
