Abstract

PURPOSE:To make the flicker signal of a traffic signal device easy to see by sensing the brightness of a circumference and adjusting the illumination of a signal lamp in accordance with the sensing value. CONSTITUTION:Three signal lamps 3 to generate red, yellow and blue colors are fitted at a lighting indicator panel 1 and a lighting displaying controller 2 has a controller to flicker the signal lamp 3 at a suitable interval. An optical sensor 5 senses the brightness of the circumference of the lighting indicator panel 1 and the sensing value is fed back to a voltage transforming circuit 4. The voltage transforming circuit 4 increases and decreases the voltage for flickering sent to the lighting indicator panel 1 and adjusts the illumination of the signal lamp 3.

(Conventional technology) Many traffic signals are installed on roads at intersections and other locations. These traffic signals regulate traffic on the road, making traffic smooth and ensuring safety. Main features The section is a lighting display board, and three signal lights emitting red, yellow, and blue are attached to it.

(11 problems with conventional technology) By the way, the brighter the surroundings, the more visible the blinking light of a signal light is.
Since the darker it is, the easier it is to see, it is desirable to adjust the illuminance of the flashing light depending on the brightness of the surroundings, so that visibility is always at its best and the signal can be reliably confirmed. However, in reality, the illuminance is determined based on the brightest time of the year so that signals can be seen at this time, and the illuminance remains constant depending on the surrounding brightness. Therefore, it is almost always kept in an excessive state.

(Means for Solving the Problems) The present invention solves the above-described drawbacks of the conventional traffic signals, and the blinking of the signal lights becomes easier to see by reducing the illuminance of the blinking lights of the signal lights as the surrounding area becomes darker. Focusing on the fact that this technology ensures confirmation of traffic signals, ensures the original functions of traffic signals, and at the same time significantly reduces power consumption, we have developed a system that switches the voltage in at least two stages. A transformer circuit that can be used is attached to the traffic signal, and a light sensor is installed near the lighting display board to detect the brightness around the lighting display board, which is then fed to the transformer circuit to make the lighting display board blink. The illuminance of the flashing light of the signal light can be adjusted by adjusting the electric voltage.
