This analogue describes the device, however, in its function, there is a certain connection between the prototype device and the claimed technical solution, which consists in improving the road sign for better visualization by the driver and for better notification of the driver about the action of the road sign. The analogue includes a reflective coating having portions on the surface of which a visible image is formed, and the surface of the portions is based on a polymer selected from the group consisting of polyalkyl acrylates, polyalkyl methacrylates, polyesters, vinyl polymers, polyurethanes, cellulose esters, fluoropolymers, polycarbonates, polyolefins, polyvinyl acetals, ionomer copolymers and copolymers of ethylene or propylene with (meth) acrylic acid or vinyl acetate, wherein the image is formed by powder toner comprising a dye, a transparent polymer binder having adhesive properties to the surface, and a charge carrier containing a polymer selected from the group consisting of (meth) acrylic polymers with functional groups having at least an amine or quaternary ammonium group and azine dyes.

However, the reflective element described in the analogue, when trying to use it in industry, may not be well functioning due to the complexity of manufacture.

Common features of the analogue and the claimed technical solution: the presence of a road or license plate equipped with a special element that enhances the ability to alert road users.

The difference between the claimed technical solution and the analogue is manifested in the fact that the claimed technical solution discloses the possibilities of effective notification from the point of view of process intensification.

An analogue is the RF patent for the invention No. 2318298 dated November 1, 2005, IPC 7, H04Q 7/38, published May 10, 2007 and protecting a method of notifying the user about the possibility of consuming a service using a mobile device operating in the mode of wireless transmission of information, comprising introducing into the mobile device information about the conditions for generating “reminders”, characterized in that the mobile device receives a pre-encoded signal containing a sign of information identical to the information about the conditions for generating “reminders”, followed by decoding it using a hardware-software module and identifying the received information with the conditions for generating “reminders” previously entered by the user on the mobile device, with the mutual agreement of which the “reminder” previously scheduled by the user is launched in the mobile device, while as generation conditions “Reminders” use information signs - “PLACE” and “TIME”, and the information sign “PLACE” is selected from the group of signs - a place in the immediate vicinity STI from an object (a few tens of meters), organization, service, interest products. Moreover, a software tool or controller is used as a hardware-software module, and a built-in barcode scanner is used as an information input unit, and an integrated camera, or an integrated video camera, or a mobile device keyboard or voice command function can be used as an information input unit .

In this analogue, there is a connection between the “reminder” and time and a connection between the “reminder” and the place with which this “reminder” is associated.

However, the method described in the analogue, when trying to use it in industry, can be complicated and expensive.

Common features of the analogue and the claimed technical solution: the presence of a connection between the "reminder" and the place with which this "reminder" is associated.

The difference between the claimed technical solution and the analogue is manifested in the fact that the claimed technical solution discloses the possibilities of effective notification from the point of view of ensuring the process and devices involved in the operation of the claimed road or license plate.

The prior art is represented by the RF patent for the invention No. 2457545 of 08.16.2010, IPC 7, G08G 1/09, published on 02.27.2012 and protecting the method of organizing the movement of vehicles with multilateral communications, according to which on road signs in traffic control points by traffic, at traffic lights and on a vehicle, signal transceivers connected over the air are installed, the vehicle is equipped with an information display, the driver is informed about the action of the traffic sign, for which they are transferred from the traffic sign to passing by export means signals about the beginning of the action of the road sign, the nature of the information of the road sign and the duration of the action of the road sign, and they receive signals on the vehicle, and the beginning of signal reception is synchronized with the beginning of its transmission from the road sign and associated with the beginning of the action of the road sign, and the end of reception associated with the expiration of the traffic sign, while identifying the received signals by the driver of the vehicle, and from the traffic control point to The traffic sign, and information about changes in road conditions and the condition of the roadway and the presence of permitted lanes is transmitted from the traffic sign to the vehicle, and the switched signals, as well as the time remaining before switching, are transmitted to the vehicle from the traffic light of the approaching intersection and duplicated on the driver panel . Radio signals are used as multilateral communication signals for vehicles; for each type of road sign, different frequency characteristics of radio signals are used, and the display of the signal received from the road sign is identified on the vehicle’s information display using virtual icons, each of which reflects the type of corresponding road sign.

In the prototype, there is a connection between the vehicle and the road sign.

However, the method described in the prototype does not allow to warn the driver of the vehicle about other vehicles threatening him near the road sign, or objects, or people crossing the road in front of the going vehicle.

Common features of the analogue and the claimed technical solution: the presence of communication between the vehicle and the road sign.

The difference between the claimed technical solution and the analogue is manifested in the fact that the claimed technical solution discloses the possibilities of effective notification of the driver of the vehicle about people and objects that interfere with it or pose a threat to road safety within a radius of five to ten meters from the road sign.

The purpose of the development of the proposed technical solution is the development of an effective, environmentally friendly and industrially applicable method. A method of organizing the movement of vehicles, the use of which leads to increased awareness of the driver of the vehicle during its movement.

The technical task is to create a technical process that can provide a technological chain from a road sign to a car moving past such a sign.

The essence of the proposed technical solution lies in the fact that the method of organizing the movement of vehicles includes the presence of a connection between a signal from a traffic light and a vehicle by equipping a vehicle with an information display, notifying the driver about the action of a traffic sign, providing the possibility of transmitting signals from a traffic sign to passing vehicles moreover, they receive a signal from a signal source in the form of a transmitter mounted on a traffic sign to a signal receiver, ra laid in the vehicle’s cabin, moreover, they use different frequency characteristics of the transmitter, while the vehicle receives the signal and identifies it as the driver of the vehicle, and the signal starts to work when they appear in a radius of ten meters from the traffic sign that interfere with the vehicle or endanger road safety people and objects.

The technical result of the application of the proposed technical solution is to create an effective way to alert.

EXAMPLE of a specific implementation of the method. A radio transmitter is installed on the road sign, which is triggered when approaching the road sign at a distance of 10 m from it interfering people and objects. A radio receiver is installed in the car, tuned to the frequency of the transmitter’s radiation on the road sign and turned on when the car approaches this road sign. During the entrance to the road sign, the driver’s radio alert is turned on and such an alert warns him of an obstructing movement of the object.

The prior art has not found such a combination of technical efficiency and economy, which allows us to conclude that the claimed technical solution meets the criteria of "novelty", "inventive step" and "industrial applicability".
