Abstract

Trafik ışıkları kavşak denetimleri açısından en yaygın kullanılan yöntemdir. Fakat bir sonraki fazın ne zaman başlayacağı konusundaki belirsizlik trafik akımını olumsuz yönde etkilemektedir. Araçlar yetişebilmek için hızlarını ani şekilde yükseltebilmekte, daha sonrasında ani frenler ile durmaya çalışmakta ya da trafik ışık ihlalleri gerçekleştirmektedir. Bu sorunu aşmak için trafik ışıklarına nümerik sayaçlar ve/veya son saniyelerde ilgili fazın bittiğini gösteren ışıklı sayaçlar koyulmaktadır. Fakat her iki yöntemde de sorunlar mevcuttur. Nümerik sayaç yaklaşılmadıkça net bir şekilde okunamamaktadır. Işıklı sayaçlar ise sadece son anlarda çalışmaya başlamakta, yüksek hızlı yollar için yetersiz kalabilmektedir. Bu iki yöntem yerine yol boyunca trafik ışığı ile koordineli olarak çalışacak ikinci bir ışıklandırma sistemi kurulumu, tüm bu sorunları ortadan kaldıracaktır. Ayrıca, tüm araçlar ilgili yol kesiminin hız limitini görerek anlayacaktır. Ek olarak sıradaki fazın hangisi olduğu, ne kadar süre sonunda yanacağı gösterilerek trafik güvenliğinin ve kapasitenin artırılması sağlanacaktır.Traffic lights are the most widely used method for intersection inspections. However, the uncertainty about when the next phase will start affects the traffic flow negatively. Vehicles can rapidly increase their speed in order to catch up, then try to stop with sudden brakes or traffic light violations. In order to overcome this problem, numerical counters and / or illuminated counters indicating the completion of the relevant phase in the last seconds are placed at the traffic lights. However, there are problems in both methods. The numerical counter cannot be read clearly unless it is approached. Illuminated counters start to work only in the last moments and may be insufficient for high speed roads. Instead of these two methods, installing a second lighting system that will work in coordination with the traffic light along the road will eliminate all these problems. Also, all vehicles will understand the speed limit of the relevant road section by seeing it. In addition, traffic safety and capacity will be increased by showing which phase is next and how long it will burn out.

Description

TARIFNAME BIR SONRAKI TRAFIK SINYALIZASYON FAZININ BASLAMA ZAMANINI AYARLANABILIR MESAFEDEN GÖSTEREN ISIKLANDIRMA SISTEMI Bulusun ilgili oldugu teknik saha Bu bulus, trafik güvenliginin artirilabilmesi için trafik isiklari ile koordineli çalisabilecek yol kenarina yerlestirilen isiklandirmalar ile ilgilidir. DESCRIPTION START TIME OF THE NEXT TRAFFIC SIGNALIZATION PHASE LIGHTING SYSTEM INDICATING FROM ADJUSTABLE DISTANCE The technical field to which the invention relates This invention is a road that can work in coordination with traffic lights to increase traffic safety. It is about the lights placed on the edge.

Teknigin bilinen durumu Trafik sinyalizasyon sistemleri bütün dünyada yaygin denetim yöntemi olarak kullanilmaktadir. Bu sistemler önceden belirlenen parametrelere göre çalismaktadirlar. Bu sekilde bir sinyalizasyon sistemi sabit zamanli çalisabildigi gibi, trafik uyarlamali da çalisabilmektedir. Sabit zamanli sinyalizasyon sistemleri belirlenen faz planlarina göre önceden ayarlanmis sürelerde çalismaktadirlar. Her ne kadar sinyalizasyon sistemi belirli siralar ile gelen akimlara yol verse de bazi sikintili süreçler mevcuttur. Bu sikintili süreçler su sekilde siralanabilir. Kavsaga yaklasan araçlar yesil isikta geçebilmek için hiz sinirlarinin da üstünde hizlanmalar gerçeklestirmektedirler. Bu durumda hem trafik kural ihlali yapilmakta, hem de can ve mal güvenligi tehlikeye atilmaktadir. Ayrica her hizlanan aracin yesil isigi yakalama sansi da her zaman olmamaktadir. Bunun sonucu olarak ya ani bir fren ile hem maddi zarar ortaya çikmakta, hem de direksiyon hakimiyetinin kaybedilebilme olasiligi dogmaktadir. State of the art Traffic signaling systems are widely used as a control method all over the world. is used. These systems operate according to predetermined parameters. This In this way, a signaling system can work in a fixed time, as well as with traffic adaptive. it can work. Fixed time signaling systems according to the determined phase plans. They work at pre-set times. Although the signaling system is specific Although it gives way to the currents coming in rows, there are some troublesome processes. These troublesome processes can be sorted. Vehicles approaching the intersection must also exceed the speed limits in order to pass in the green light. they are making accelerations on it. In this case, both traffic rule violations are committed, as well as the safety of life and property are endangered. Also the green light of every accelerating vehicle The chance of catching is not always possible. As a result of this, either with a sudden brake and damage occurs, as well as the possibility of losing steering control.

Daha da kötüsü siradaki faz ile kesisen araç, trafik kazasina da sebebiyet verebilmektedir. Ek olarak trafik akim hizindaki dalgalanmalar, akim kapasitesini de düsürmektedir. Tüm bu sorunlar düsünüldügünde, trafik isigina yerlestirilen bir nümerik sayaç veya son saniyelerde yanan isiklandirma sistemleri, tedbir olarak uygulanmaktadir. Fakat burada da su eksiklikler mevcuttur. Nümerik sayaç belirli bir mesafe yaklasilmadan net bir sekilde okunamamaktadir. Worse still, the vehicle intersecting with the next phase can cause a traffic accident. Additional As a result, fluctuations in the traffic flow rate also reduce the flow capacity. all this when problems are considered, a numeric counter placed in the traffic light or in the last seconds burning lighting systems are applied as a precaution. But here, too, water shortages available. The numerical counter cannot be read clearly before approaching a certain distance.

Bu durumda araç sürücüleri ikilemde kalmakta ve kararsiz bir sürüs sergilemektedirler. vermektedir. Bu durumda da araç sürücüleri tam olarak ne kadar zaman sonra isigin degisecegini bilememektedirler. In this case, vehicle drivers remain in dilemma and exhibit an indecisive drive. gives. In this case, exactly how long after the light will be seen by the drivers of the vehicles. They don't know what will change.

Bulusun Çözümü amaçladigi teknik problemler Trafik sinyalizasyon sistemi ile koordineli bir sekilde çalisacak ikinci bir isiklandirma sistemi kavsaga yaklasan yol boyunca, yolun sag ve sol kisimlarinda önceden ayarlanmis araliklar ile yerlestirilecektir. Bu sayede istenilen mesafeden sistem çalismaya baslayabilecektir. Bu sekilde nümerik bir sayaç olmamasindan ötürü araç sürücüleri herhangi bir görme zorlugu çekmeyeceklerdir. Ek olarak tüm sistem önceden ayarlanmis süre sonucunda kendini yenileyecek ve bu sekilde tüm araç sürücüleri için sürekli olarak isiklandirmanin zamani belli olacaktir. Bu sayede de, sistem, sadece son birkaç saniye çalismak yerine sürekli çalisarak siradaki isigin zamanini sürücülere bildirecektir. Technical problems that the invention aims to solve A second lighting system to work in coordination with the traffic signaling system along the road approaching the intersection, with preset intervals on the right and left sides of the road. will be placed. In this way, the system will be able to start working from the desired distance. This Vehicle drivers do not have any visual difficulties due to the absence of a numerical counter in the figure. they will not pull. In addition, the entire system will turn itself off after a preset time. will refresh and in this way, the time of continuous lighting is certain for all vehicle drivers. will be. In this way, the system works continuously instead of only working for the last few seconds. will notify drivers of the time of the next light.

Bulusun açiklamasi Kavsaga yaklasan akimin mevcut ve siradaki trafik isigini anlayabilmesi için yolun sag ve sol kenarina yerlestirilecek isiklandirma sistemi kurulmaktadir. Bu isiklandirma sistemi yol boyunca istenilen mesafede uzanan bir isik seridi olabilecegi gibi, kedigözleri gibi belirli aralilarla yerlestirilen isiklandirma aparatlari da olabilmektedir. Bu iki yönteme ek olarak direk yol üstyapisina insa edilecek isiklandirma cihazlari da olabilirler. Yerlestirilen isiklandirma sistemleri ayni trafik isigi gibi kirmizi, sari ve yesil renklerden olusmaktadir. Yaklasilan trafik isiginin devre süreleri ile koordineli bir sekilde çalismaktadir. Description of the invention Left and right of the road so that the current approaching the intersection can understand the current and next traffic light. The lighting system to be placed on the edge is being installed. This lighting system It can be a light strip extending at the desired distance along the There may also be lighting apparatus placed at intervals. In addition to these two methods, They can also be lighting devices to be built on the road pavement. Built-in lighting systems consist of red, yellow and green colors just like traffic light. approached traffic It works in coordination with the cycle times of the light.

Sistemin uygun bir sekilde çalisabilmesi için trafik isigindan bir önceki kavsaga dogru istenilen mesafe boyunca n tane isiklandirma aparati yerlestirilir. Trafik isigina en yakin aparat al ve en uzak aparat an olarak adlandirilirsa, an aparatinda yanan rengin an_1 aparatinda yanmasi Için gerekli Süre Denklem 1 ile hesaplanir. In order for the system to work properly, the desired direction from the traffic light to the previous intersection n lighting apparatus is placed along the distance. Take the closest apparatus to the traffic light and If the farthest apparatus is called an, the color lit in the main apparatus will light up in the an_1 apparatus. The required time is calculated by Equation 1.

Bu denklemde; Snin_1, an aparatinda yanan isigin an_1 aparatinda yanmasi için gerekli süreyi, Xnin_1, , an aparati ile an_1 aparati arasindaki mesafeyi ve V ise ilgili kesimde trafik akiminin gitmesi istenen hizi ifade etmektedir. Denklem l yardimi ile en uzaktaki aparat bir önceki aparata hesaplanan sürelerde kendi isik rengini aktarmaktadir. En son durumda ise al aparatinda yanan isik trafik isigina aktanlir. Bu sekilde, an aparatinda baslayan isik rengi ilgili yol kesiminde trafik akiminin uymasi istenen hiz ile trafik isigina dogru hareket eder. Ilgili trafik isigi için önceden belirlenmis süre boyunca an aparatinda yanan isik, sonrasinda siradaki renge döner ve yine Denklem l yardimi ile hesaplanan süre sonunda yeni rengini an_1 aparatina aktarir. an aparatinda renk degismedigi müddetçe an_1 aparatinda da renk degisimi gerçeklesmez. Bu sayede yol kenarinda kurulmus olan dinamik isiklandirma sistemleri ile siradaki trafik isiginin hangi isigi ne zaman yanacagi sürücülere net bir sekilde gösterilmis olacaktir. Bu islem sonucunda sürücüler ilgili yolun hiz sinirini görerek anlayacaklardir. In this equation; Snin_1, the time required for the light on the an apparatus to burn in the an_1 apparatus, Xnin_1 is the distance between the main apparatus and an_1 apparatus and V is the traffic flow in the relevant section. Indicates the desired speed. With the help of equation l, the farthest apparatus It transfers its own light color to the apparatus at the calculated times. In the last case, take The light on the apparatus is transferred to the traffic light. In this way, the light color that starts in the main apparatus is related to It moves towards the traffic light with the speed desired to match the traffic flow on the road section. Relating to the light on the main apparatus for the predetermined time for the traffic light, then the next it turns to color and at the end of the time calculated with the help of Equation l, its new color is an_1 transfers it to the apparatus. As long as the color does not change in the an apparatus, the color change in the an_1 apparatus it doesn't happen. In this way, with the dynamic lighting systems installed on the roadside, It has been clearly shown to drivers which light of the next traffic light will turn on and when. will be. As a result of this process, drivers will see and understand the speed limit of the relevant road.

Ayrica, Trafik isiginda yanan isigin zit renklisi yol kenarinda trafik isigina dogru yaklasirken sürücülerde kendi hizlarini ve durumlarini bu isiklara göre ayarlayabileceklerdir. Bu sayede hem dengesiz araç sürmenin önüne geçilecektir, hem de hiçbir sürücünün mesafe tayini konUSundaki yetenegi sinanmadan tüm sürücülerin trafik isigina ulastiklari zaman yanacak isigi anlamalari saglanacaktir. Sonuç olarak güvenlik artirilacak, araçlarin hiz farklari minimize edilecek, yol kapasitesi aitirilacaktir. In addition, the opposite color of the light on the traffic light is approaching the traffic light at the side of the road. drivers will be able to adjust their speed and status according to these lights. In this way both unbalanced driving will be prevented and no driver's distance determination will be made. It will turn on when all drivers reach the traffic light without testing their ability to They will be made to understand the light. As a result, the safety will be increased, the speed differences of the vehicles will be minimized. road capacity will be allocated.

Bulusun sanayiye uygulama biçimi Yukarida bahsedilen teknik probleme basarili bir sekilde çözüm getiren trafik sinyalizasyon sürelerini gösteren isiklandirma sistemi, yol kenarina yerlestirilen kedigözleri ve sokak lambalari gibi olusturulacak bir üründür. How the invention is applied to industry Traffic signaling, which successfully solves the above-mentioned technical problem lighting system showing the time of day, cat eyes placed on the side of the road and street It is a product to be created like lamps.
