Abstract

PURPOSE:To make it possible to accurately confirm the position of an automobile in relation to a lane so as to promote a safe driving by positioning a pair of right and left indicators respectively on each extension of both right and left sides of the road so as to provide them in front of a driver in the automobile. CONSTITUTION:An automobile is provided with a windshield for securing a front view 2, and a plurality of rear view mirrors 3 mounted on the inside and outside of the automobile. In this case, a pair of right and left indicators L, R which are positioned respectively on each extension of the right and left sides 21 of the road, are provided in front of a driver 1 in the automobile. And the automobile is driven so as to coinside the right and left indicators L, R respectively with the right and left sides 21 of the road. Consequently, as it can easily be confirmed that the automobile is driven out of a shoulder or over a center line, the safe driving of the automobile can be achieved.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Field of Industrial Application) This invention is for safe driving of a car, in which the road white line is 15 cm wide and the windshield is a standard surface, and is mounted and fixed horizontally on the left and right sides. It concerns an indicator.

(Conventional technology) Traditionally, car drivers relied on their own driving experience and senses while driving while checking the relationship between people and cars, car bodies and marking lines, car body width and road width, and vehicle-to-vehicle positional relationships. The only thing that stands out is the poles and indicators that are attached to the hood.

(Problem to be solved by the invention) However, with such driving technology that relies on driving experience and feeling,
The current situation is that accidents occasionally occur due to collisions, rear-end collisions, and collisions between pedestrians, bicycles, motorcycles, oncoming vehicles, and following vehicles. If you don't avoid it, you'll get into an accident, and even if you overdo it, you'll get into an accident, and the error will be large on roads without lane markings (, white lines will be visible on rainy days, dazzle from oncoming vehicle lights when driving at night, and direct light from oncoming cars). As a driver, you are aware of these things, such as the glare from sunlight, the illusion of pressure and freedom inside and outside the tunnel, etc.Furthermore, there are many things that you need to know while driving, such as how to balance left and right depending on the position of the driver's seat. The current situation is for each driver to draw a safe range of problems that may arise.

(Means for solving the problem) Therefore, by analyzing your driving experience and feelings, you can solve the problem in a simple way. First, the driver basically checks the forward visibility visually. This will be explained with reference to FIG. In a car equipped with a driver's front view 2 and a rear confirmation mirror 3, the front view 2 is an elliptical shape, and when driving in a straight line, the basic shape is a near-triangular and trapezoidal visual angle, so the left and right hypotenuses are When replaced with the road white line 21, the intersecting apex is a long-distance confirmation position in the forward visual angle, and the relationship between speed and stopping distance is downward from the intersecting apex. Furthermore, the safe stopping position is downward, and if the shape is marked, it will be located in space. When the windshield 4 is made a standard surface, the problem of vague forward visibility is solved, and the range becomes downward in line with the front blind spot, and the width and height of the left (L) and right (R) safety driving indicators If the size of the rear confirmation mirror 3 is determined and it is installed in a position that smoothly relates to the rear confirmation mirror 3, it becomes a concrete means.

The configuration of the shape of the safe driving indicator will be explained with reference to FIG. There are various combinations of shapes, such as circular polygons, depending on the road conditions. This is because the basic shape of this invention is straight-line travel, and the combination of substantially trapezoidal and substantially triangular shapes makes it easy to see the wide-angle field of view 25 (FIG. 1).

Side BD of the approximate trapezoid ABCD and side X of the other approximate triangle XY2
It is a three-dimensional configuration in which a rotation axis is provided at Z, and the approximately triangular shape XYZ rotates. The reason why the rotation angle of the approximate triangle XY2 changes is that it corresponds to the inclination angle of the windshield and is easy to confirm visually.The left and right shapes differ depending on the inclination and curved surface of the windshield and the position of the driver's seat. .

The structure of the confirmation information will be explained in detail based on FIG.

The range of danger and caution that complies with the Road Traffic Act is determined from the configuration of the above shape.

The range of danger is determined from the outside surface of the vehicle body (the relationship between the width of the vehicle and the front of the vehicle stopped), and the range of danger is determined from the 15cm road white line standard (left and right road width).

Regarding the danger markings AB5, 06, and D7, which are approximately trapezoidal ABCD, the front stopping position is AB, 5, C and 6 indicate the roadside strip beyond the white line, and 7 indicates the vehicle width limit. Become. Further, the caution line display marks 8.9 and the distance between the marks can correspond to the width of the divided road, and are transparent like glass, and the display marks are color-coded into red and yellow. In the approximate triangle XYZ, zlO is a danger display mark and the vehicle width limit, 11.12 is a caution line mark, and 1O1
The marks 11 and 12 are color-coded into red, yellow, green, and yellow, and the back surface 22 is dark black. Note that the color and color width are not limited to these, and symbols 23, 24, and character display marks may also be used, and the left and right information configurations are reversed, such as the left (L) and right (R) safe driving indicators. The present invention is characterized by an automobile safe driving indicator according to claims 1 to 3, which is basically constructed so that the indicators are related to each other and is visually confirmed.

(Function) By attaching and fixing safe driving indicators horizontally to the left and right with the windshield as a standard surface on a car equipped with the driver's front visibility and rear confirmation mirror as described above, the front, rear, left and right balance can be maintained, and the rear Confirmation information can be obtained by association with a confirmation mirror.

The mounting height position and left and right positions may differ slightly depending on individual differences, and may vary depending on vehicle width and vehicle height, but the shape and structure of the confirmation information are generally the same.

(Example) An example of the present invention will be described with reference to the plan views of the vehicle traveling on the road in FIGS. 1 and 3. The example is a right-hand drive vehicle.

When driving in a straight line on a general road, as shown in Figure 1, set the safe driving indicator to the left (L) so that the left road white line 21 is from the center of the vehicle, and to the right (R) so that the right road white line 21 is from the center of the vehicle. If you install it in a position related to the left and right rear confirmation mirrors 3 and drive, you can check the operation of the nozzle because it will hit the caution mark and danger mark whether you pass it to the left or to the right.

Further, this will be explained in detail with reference to FIG. The left (L> includes the left road width 14 plus the roadside strip 15 from the outer surface 13 of the vehicle body, and the right (L>
R) is from the outer surface of the vehicle body 16 to the right road width 17 plus roadside strip 1
8, an inner wheel difference 19, an outer wheel difference bulge 20, and the area from the danger mark 6 to the vehicle body width limit 7 becomes an indicator of the maximum road width and minimum road width on one side, and the danger mark at the front stop position 5 is spatially configured and the left side (L) Right (R) are mutually related.

With the above configuration, it is possible to confirm the operation of driving on a curve within the range of the three danger display marks 5, 6, and 7 in the same way as driving in a straight line. When making sharp curves, right turns, or left turns, check the vehicle width limit display mark. If the speed exceeds the limit mark and the relationship between the vehicle body and the vehicle width is too high, the vehicle will not be able to complete the turn, so you will need to check both sides of your front view when making the turn. The implementation is limited to the location that does not create a front blind spot and the size of the safe driving indicator. Further, by attaching display marks on the left and right sides of the back glass and interlocking with the indoor rear confirmation mirror 3, it becomes easier to confirm the rear.

(Effects of the Invention) As explained above, this invention is a creation based on the question of how to respond to various actual road conditions.

By rotating the approximate triangle XYZ with the configuration shown in Figure 2, when driving at night, you can avoid the dazzle of oncoming vehicle lights, avoid direct E1 light, prevent the illusion of being inside or outside a tunnel, and avoid the illusion of being inside or outside a tunnel. The white line is difficult to see (corrects the error [■].The information structure shown in Figure 2 allows you to drive while checking that the vehicle width limit 7 is relevant on narrow roads such as back alleys, and on roads without white lines. 7 and the caution line display mark 8 serve as road white lines.As described above, a simple method of using the windshield as a marking surface and attaching and fixing the shape and information structure as indicators is effective.In conclusion, The relationship between drivers - people, cars, roads, signals, signs, and safe driving indicators does not contradict the current transportation system (i.e., the relationship between drivers, people, cars, roads, signals, signs, and safe driving indicators does not contradict the current transportation system (i.e., it is important to visually check the dangers and caution zones of people and vehicles relatively while driving). It can be confirmed by this, and it also has a psychological effect.
