Description

障礙物警示系統 Obstacle warning system

本發明係有關於超聲波傳感偵測之應用,特別是指一種應用於車輛,藉以配合車速或轉向等狀態,感測車輛周圍障礙物之距離並產生警示信號之障礙物警示系統。 The invention relates to the application of ultrasonic sensing, in particular to an obstacle warning system which is applied to a vehicle to cooperate with a vehicle speed or a steering state to sense the distance of an obstacle around the vehicle and generate a warning signal.

一般車輛在行駛時,駕駛人往往會因車速、後視鏡角度以及人體視覺的視界,而有部分視覺死角的產生,行人一旦闖入車輛的視覺死角而沒有警覺,便容易發生交通事故。甚者,對於大型車輛,諸如公車、大貨車、砂石車、甚至聯結車等等,因其車重及軸距較長,迴轉半徑大,駕駛座位較高、車身較長,整車視野有諸多死角,若駕駛人及路人疏於注意,極易發生交通事故,且因大型車輛載重大,一旦發生交通事故,往往會造成難以挽回的重大傷亡。 When a vehicle is driving, the driver tends to have some visual dead angles due to the speed of the vehicle, the angle of the rearview mirror, and the visual field of the human vision. Once the pedestrian breaks into the visual dead angle of the vehicle and is not alert, the traffic accident is likely to occur. What's more, for large vehicles, such as buses, large trucks, gravel cars, and even junction cars, because of their long weight and wheelbase, the radius of gyration is large, the driver's seat is high, the body is long, and the vehicle's field of view has Many dead corners, if the driver and passers-by pay attention to it, it is very prone to traffic accidents, and because of the heavy load of large vehicles, once a traffic accident occurs, it will often cause irreparable major casualties.

對於大型車輛的行車安全,一直是交通危安因素中的首重,雖近年來因影像技術的提升,駕駛人可透過監視攝影機來減少視野中的死角,但其主要是輔助提供駕駛人觀察,當突發狀況時並未能有效地提示駕駛人注意,往往駕駛人在行駛中並無法注意到每一細節或畫面,仍未能有效地避免意外發生。 For the safety of large vehicles, it has always been the first of the traffic safety factors. Although in recent years, due to the improvement of imaging technology, drivers can reduce the dead angle in the field of vision through surveillance cameras, but mainly assist in providing driver observation.
