RU38414U1 - DEVICE FOR INCREASING SAFETY OF DRIVING OF VEHICLES AT REGULATED CROSSROADS (ACTIVE LIGHT) - Google Patents

Description

Device for improving the safety of road transport at regulated intersections (active traffic light)

Utility Model Description

The utility model relates to automation and can be used to enhance

road safety at regulated intersections

Known passive and active means of regulating the movement of vehicles on

intersections (traffic signs, traffic lights, marking, ultrasonic warning devices

Passive means are, as a rule, purely informational in nature and are designed for

performance discipline of all participants in the movement, however, practice shows

insufficient effectiveness of these measures.

Existing active tools (collision warning devices - evidence

No. 2022367) have a complex functional structure and accordingly complex

work algorithm. In the existing collision avoidance method, the request

the radio signal is emitted to the vehicle (vehicle), the receiver of the vehicle after receiving

the radio signal sends a response ultrasonic signal (ultrasound - signal), thus, there is

continuous signal exchange to determine the optimum travel speed

Its disadvantages include:

high complexity of manufacturing the device and, as a consequence, its high

cost and low functional reliability;

continuous exposure to people (drivers and pedestrians) of ultrasound - and

low noise immunity in places with a large number of active technical means.

The inventive utility model does not have the above disadvantages. The technical result of its introduction into production is the provision of the prescribed rules for the passage of the intersection by road.

The essence of the model lies in the fact that at the same time as the normal signals of the regular traffic light О, (yellow and red), the control signal 01 enters block 1, which transmits signals in the IR band 1.1, registered by a special multifunctional receiver 2, located in the car, and with which control signals 2.1, 2.2, 2.3 are fed to a light indicator 3, an audio indicator 4 and an actuator 5, and a signal 2.03 is also received from the vehicle’s speedometer for motion analysis. The actuator 5 transmits a signal 5.1. to turn on the brake system if a signal 2.01 from a traffic light and 2.02 from an obstacle is received. The IR transmitter of the car 6 constantly emits signals when the engine is running, i.e. informs potential participants of the movement (cars, buses, etc.) about a possible existing obstacle. The receiver 2 performs the following functions:

- repeats traffic signals on the car panel that prohibit movement with light and sound indicators, which are also turned on when approaching any obstacle (transport, pedestrian, fence, building, etc.); includes the brake system of the car;

turns off the traffic-blocking signals on the vehicle panel and the braking system when the vehicle is completely stopped, the critical distance to any obstacle is increased, or when the green traffic light is turned on.

Making a model is not particularly difficult. Technology does not require much

equipment can be applied on the conveyor.

The use of the device allows you to have the following advantages:

1. Road safety is improved due to the transfer of the task from the driver to the vehicle.

2. Ensures the safety of pedestrians crossing the roadway at intersections.

3. Minimized the role of the negative sides of the human factor (driver).

4. The manufacturing technology of the device is not particularly difficult and can be applied on the conveyor.
