JPS61193944A - Device for preventing accident in crossing by mounting braking monitor lamp on front portion of automobile - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent an accident between person and vehicle by providing a braking lamp on the front portion of the vehicle to connect said lamp to a rear braking lamp in an identical circuit and simultaneously light both lamps. CONSTITUTION:A braking monitor lamp is connectively wired to the same circuit as an existing braking lamp to be lit at the same time as the rear braking lamp and provided in a spot on the center line of a vehicle not to be mistaken for a direction indicator lamp due to the flickering character. And it is provided on the proximity of the upper portion of a bumper 2 in an automobile and on the lower edge of a head lamp in a motor cycle on the center line of these vehicle. Since it is provided on the front end of vehicle to improve visility, it is shaped to have no projection for the sake of safety and such that the lighting can be confirmed within at least 180 deg. angle as viewed from the proceeding direction. Also, it is blue or green colored with necessary and sufficient brightness not to be mistaken for the head lamp, fog lamp, clearance lamp direction indicating lamp and partking lamp.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] This invention was developed by focusing on the fact that almost 70% of traffic accidents occur at intersections (National Police Agency statistics in 1988) and analyzing the causes of the accidents. However, the majority of accidents were the result of leaving the judgment of the situation to the driver's discretion, where the driver thought the driver would stop or cross the road. Although traffic accidents cause enormous damage to people and property, from the perspective of accident prevention, even if there are various regulations and enforcement measures, in the end, accidents can only be prevented by self-control on the part of the driver. This is the essence and consequence of current traffic accidents.

The present invention changes this conventional method and provides a self-defense aid for pedestrians and cyclists who are said to be vulnerable to traffic, while also providing a means for drivers of oncoming vehicles to quickly catch the behavior of the other vehicle and quickly prevent their own vehicle from being in danger. Defense by avoiding pregnancy 1. East 1m+
1- & Park Soo-yong himself - Specifically, at an intersection with a traffic light, at a crosswalk on the stop lane side, there is a vehicle that turns right or left from the driving lane even though there is a crosswalk signal, but the stopping behavior of that vehicle Detect pedestrians crossing the lane safely, preventing collisions with oncoming vehicles when turning right in the evening, and increasing the chance of avoiding a rear-end collision by checking the braking of the following vehicle when stopped due to a red signal (via the rearview mirror). There are advantages such as collision avoidance by vehicles proceeding from crossing lanes at intersections without traffic lights, avoidance of collisions by checking in advance to stop, and stopping behavior of passing vehicles from the pedestrian side at crosswalks without traffic lights. This has the advantage of improving safety by increasing the possibility of active defense, rather than passively, which is the case with conventional crossings where the vehicle would be stopped. The mechanism is simple and can be manufactured at low cost, making it extremely suitable for requiring all automobiles and motorcycles to be equipped with it. Its structure is as follows.

(1) Electric circuit The structure is such that the electrical circuit is connected to the same circuit as the existing brake light circuit and is turned on at the same time as the rear brake light.

(2) Due to their blinking nature, they should be installed at one location on the vehicle center line so that they cannot be mistaken for direction indicator lights.

(3) Installation location: Installed on the center line of the front of the vehicle, near the top of the bumper on cars.
Motorcycles are equipped near the bottom of the headlight.

(4) Since it is installed at the tip of the vehicle to improve shape visibility, it should be shaped without protrusions for safety reasons. The shape shall be such that the lighting can be confirmed from at least 180 degrees when viewed from the direction of travel.

(5) Light color Headlights, fog lamps, side lights, turn signal lights should be blue or have a border color so as not to be confused with foggy parking lights.

(6) Brightness of the lamp The brightness should be sufficient and necessary for the above-mentioned purpose of use.
