Abstract

The invention relates to a guide system (20) placed along roadsides (13, 14), preferably in tunnels, that has guide elements and support bodies (30) which are anchored in the ground and which hold said guide elements. These guide elements are formed by roller elements (21, 22) which are coaxially arranged in a row, which are rotatably mounted at the support bodies (30) and which are arranged above the road surface (11) at a distance which is approximately equal to half the wheel diameter of vehicles (18). This significantly increases the amount of protection provided to vehicles as they near the sides of the road. These guide elements which are comprised of roller elements make possible a softer impact of a vehicle since usually the vehicle wheels come in contact first with the guide elements. The guide elements also provide a type of guidance of the forward-moving vehicle (18) during contact by virtue of the resulting rotation of the roller elements.

Description

Leitsystem entlang von Strassenrändern, vorzugsweise in Tunnels, für die Sicherung von Fahrzeugen Control system along the side of the road, preferably in tunnels, for securing vehicles
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Leitsystem entlang von Strassenrändern, vorzugsweise in Tunnels, für die Sicherung von Fahrzeugen, welches entlang des Strassenrandes verlaufende Leitelemente und diese haltende, am Boden befestigte Stützkörper aufweist.The invention relates to a guidance system along roadsides, preferably in tunnels, for securing vehicles, which has guidance elements running along the roadside and supporting bodies that hold these and are fastened to the ground.
Bei einem bekannten System sind die entlang dem Strassenrand verlaufenden Leitelemente als sogenannte Leitplanken aus einem länglichen Metallprofil mit wellen- oder andersförmigen Querschnitten gebildet. Solche Leitplanken bieten in der Regel einen ausreichenden Schutz für Fahrzeuge, welche aus irgendwelchen Gründen gegen diese Leitplanken prallen, damit sie nicht von der Strasse abkommen und über ein Bord hinunterfallen, mit einem neben der Strasse befindlichen Gegenstand, wie zum Beispiel mit einem Baum, einer Felswand oder dergleichen, kollidieren.In a known system, the guide elements running along the roadside are formed as so-called guardrails from an elongated metal profile with wavy or other cross-sections. Such guardrails usually offer sufficient protection for vehicles which, for whatever reason, hit these guardrails so that they do not stray from the road and fall off a board with an object located next to the road, such as a tree, for example Rock wall or the like collide.
Nachteilig bei diesen herkömmlichen Leitplanken erweisen sich die bei einem Aufprall mit Sicherheit entstehenden Schäden wenigstens beim Fahrzeug und gegebenenfalls auch bei der Leitplanke. Ein solcher Aufprall kann auch dazu führen, dass das Fahrzeug nach der Kollision mit der Leitplanke unkontrolliert wieder in die Strasse zurück katapultiert wird und hierbei möglicherweise andere passierende Fahrzeuge in Gefahr bringen kann.A disadvantage of these conventional guardrails is that the damage that is certainly caused in the event of an impact proves to be at least in the vehicle and possibly also in the guardrail. Such an impact can also result in the vehicle being catapulted back into the street in an uncontrolled manner after the collision with the guardrail and possibly putting other passing vehicles at risk.
In Tunnels sind in der Regel keine Leitplanken, sondern es sind lediglich Randsteine mit entsprechenden Absätzen vorgesehen. Diese Absätze bieten jedoch für Fahrzeuge, welche aus unvorgesehenen Gründen gegen diese prallen, einen sehr schlechten Schutz, denn mit diesen besteht eine gro- sse Gefahr, dass ein Fahrzeug zum einen sehr schnell stark beschädigt wird und zum andern sich überschlagen kann oder - wie bereits oben erwähnt - wieder zurück auf die Fahrspur und möglicherweise auf die Gegenspur zurückgeschlagen wird.As a rule, there are no guardrails in tunnels, but only curbs with corresponding paragraphs are provided. However, these paragraphs offer very poor protection for vehicles that bump into them for unforeseen reasons, because with these there is a great risk that a vehicle will be damaged very quickly on the one hand and can overturn on the other or - as already done mentioned above - back into the lane and possibly hit back into the opposite lane.
Der vorliegenden Erfindung wurde demgegenüber die Aufgabe zugrundegelegt, ein Leitsystem nach der eingangs erwähnten Gattung zu schaffen, welches bei einfacher und kostengünstiger Herstellung eine verbesserte Sicherheit für Fahrzeuge bietet, welche von der Strasse abkommen.In contrast, the present invention was based on the object of creating a control system of the type mentioned at the outset which, with simple and inexpensive manufacture, offers improved safety for vehicles which stray from the road.
Die Aufgabe ist erfindungsgemäss dadurch gelöst, dass die Leitelemente aus koaxial aneinandergereihten Rollenelementen gebildet sind, welche bei den Stützkörpern drehbar gelagert und oberhalb der Strassenoberfläche in einem annähernd dem halben Raddurchmesser von Fahrzeugen gebildeten Abstand angeordnet sind.The object is achieved according to the invention in that the guide elements are formed from coaxially lined up roller elements which are rotatably mounted in the support bodies and are arranged above the road surface at a distance approximately half the wheel diameter of vehicles.
Mit diesem erfindungsgemässen Leitsystem kann die Sicherheit von Fahrzeugen, welche gegen die Strassenrander fahren, erheblich verbessert werden. Diese aus Rollenelementen bestehenden Leitelemente ermöglichen zum einen einen sanfteren Aufprall eines Fahrzeuges, da dieses meistens mit seinen Rädern als erstes diese Leitelemente berühren und zum andern bei der Berührung durch die entstehende Drehung der Rollenelemente eine Art Führung des sich vorwärtsbewegenden Fahrzeuges entsteht. Dieses kann somit vom Lenker sicher abgebremst und zum Stillstand gebracht werden, ohne dass an diesem Schäden, oder zumindest nur geringfügige Schäden entstehen.With this control system according to the invention, the safety of vehicles driving against the side of the road can be considerably improved. These guide elements, which consist of roller elements, on the one hand enable a vehicle to have a smoother impact, since this mostly first touch these guide elements with his wheels and, on the other hand, a kind of guidance of the forward-moving vehicle arises when touched by the resulting rotation of the roller elements. This can thus be safely braked by the handlebar and brought to a standstill without causing any damage, or at least only minor damage.
Als sehr vorteilhaft hat sich bei ausgedehnten Versuchen herausgestellt, dass mit einem solchen erfindungsgemässen Leitsystem eine bedeutend geringere Gefahr besteht, dass ein Fahrzeug wieder zurück auf die Fahrbahn geschleudert wird.It has been found to be very advantageous in extensive tests that with such a control system according to the invention there is a significantly lower risk of a vehicle being thrown back onto the road.
Ausführungsbeispiele der Erfindung sowie weitere Vorteile derselben sind nachfolgend anhand der Zeichnung näher erläutert. Es zeigt:Exemplary embodiments of the invention and further advantages thereof are explained in more detail below with reference to the drawing. It shows:

Fig. l und Fig.2 zeigen ein Leitsystem 20 an einer Autostrasse, von welcher der Strassenrand 13 im Querschnitt veranschaulicht ist. Von diesem Strassenrand 13 ist das Fundament 12, die Strassenoberfläche 11, ein sich senkrecht zu dieser erhebender Absatz 14 und ein erhöhter horizontaler Gehsteg 16 ersichtlich. Ein solcher Strassenrand 13 präsentiert sich vielerorts, insbesondere auch in Tunnels, wie beispielsweise im Gotthard- Autotunnel, einem der längsten Strassentunnel Europas.1 and 2 show a guidance system 20 on an automobile road, of which the roadside 13 is illustrated in cross section. From this roadside 13, the foundation 12, the road surface 11, is itself perpendicular to this elevating paragraph 14 and an elevated horizontal walkway 16 can be seen. Such a roadside 13 presents itself in many places, in particular also in tunnels, such as in the Gotthard car tunnel, one of the longest road tunnels in Europe.
Erfindungsgemäss sind entlang dem Strassenrand 13 verlaufende Leitelemente aus koaxial aneinandergereihten Rollenelementen 21, 22 gebildet, welche bei Stützkörpern 30 drehbar gelagert und oberhalb der Strassenoberfläche 11 in einem annähernd dem halben Durchmesser eines Rades 15 eines Fahrzeuges 18 gebildeten Abstand angeordnet sind.According to the invention, guide elements running along the roadside 13 are formed from coaxially lined up roller elements 21, 22 which are rotatably mounted in support bodies 30 and are arranged above the road surface 11 at a distance approximately half the diameter of a wheel 15 of a vehicle 18.
Diese aus den Rollenelementen 21, 22 erstellten Leitelemente sind derart am Strassenrand 13 beispielsweise eines bestehenden Tunnels befestigt, dass sie zu dem beim Strassenrand 13 vorhandenen Absatz 14 in einem geringen Abstand von einem bis zu fünf Zentimetern in Richtung der Fahrspur 11 vorstehen. Dies ermöglicht im Rahmen der Erfindung, dass wenn das Fahrzeug 18 gegen den Strassenrand 13 fährt, dass es in der Regel vorerst mit seinem vorderen Rad 15 als erstes diese Leitelemente berührt und zum andern bei der Berührung durch die entstehende Drehung des jeweiligen Rollenelementes 21, 22 eine Art Führung des sich an diesem entlang bewegenden Fahrzeuges 18 entsteht, von dem ferner noch die Frontseite 19 angedeutet ist. Das Auto kann somit vom darin befindlichen Lenker sicher abgebremst und zum Stillstand gebracht werden, ohne dass an diesem Schäden, oder zumindest nur geringfügige Schäden, entstehen.These guide elements created from the roller elements 21, 22 are fastened to the roadside 13, for example of an existing tunnel, in such a way that they protrude from the shoulder 14 at the roadside 13 at a short distance of one to five centimeters in the direction of the lane 11. In the context of the invention, this makes it possible for the vehicle 18 to drive against the roadside 13, as a rule for the first time to touch these guide elements first with its front wheel 15 and, secondly, for the contact due to the rotation of the respective roller element 21, 22 a kind of guidance of the vehicle 18 moving along this is created, from which the front side 19 is also indicated. The car can thus be safely braked by the handlebars inside and brought to a standstill without causing any damage, or at least only minor damage.
Diese die Leitelemente bildenden Rollenelemente 21, 22 bestehen zweck- mässigerweise jeweils aus einem verzinkten Metallrohr, wobei sie im Prinzip auch noch mit einem weichen Gummiüberzug oder dergleichen bestückt sein könnten. An beiden Enden sind die Rollenelemente 21, 22 von je einem am Stützkörper 30 angeordneten Wälzlager 23 drehbar gehalten. Der Stützkörper 30 hat zwei im Fundament 12 verankerte Widerhaken 32 oder dergleichen, einen mit diesen verbundenen, auf dem Boden stehender Profilträger mit einer Tragplatte 31 und eine beim Profilträger gegen die Fahrspur hin vorstehende Stützplatte 25, die mit ihrer Schmalseite zwischen zwei Rollenelementen 21, 22 liegt und ihr beidseitig je ein das Wälzlager 23 tragendes Halteglied 24 zugeordnet ist. Die Stützplatte 25 ist mit solchen Aussenabmessungen versehen, dass sie zumindest auf der gegen die Fahrspur 11 zugekehrten Seite mit Bezug auf die Rollenelemente 21, 22 nicht vorstehend angeordnet ist.These roller elements 21, 22 forming the guide elements expediently each consist of a galvanized metal tube, although in principle they could also be equipped with a soft rubber coating or the like. The roller elements 21, 22 are at both ends held rotatably by a roller bearing 23 arranged on the support body 30. The support body 30 has two barbs 32 or the like anchored in the foundation 12, a profile carrier connected to them and standing on the ground with a support plate 31 and a support plate 25 projecting towards the lane in the profile carrier, the narrow side of which between two roller elements 21, 22 lies and is assigned a holding member 24 carrying the roller bearing 23 on both sides. The support plate 25 is provided with such external dimensions that it is not arranged at least on the side facing the lane 11 with respect to the roller elements 21, 22.
Des weiteren grenzen die Rollenelemente 21, 22 beim Stützkörper annähernd lückenlos aneinander an, damit ein sich mit wenigstens einem Rad 15 an diesen Rollenelementen touchierendes Fahrzeug 18 auch bei diesen Übergängen ohne Unterbruch an diesen Rollenelementen geführt ist. Sie sind hierbei derart ausgelegt, dass sie die durch das Fahrzeug 18 entstehenden Aufprallkräfte bis zu einem gewissen Grad ohne Deformierung aufnehmen können.Furthermore, the roller elements 21, 22 adjoin one another in the support body approximately without gaps, so that a vehicle 18 touching these roller elements with at least one wheel 15 is guided without interruption on these roller elements even at these transitions. They are designed in such a way that they can absorb the impact forces caused by the vehicle 18 to a certain extent without deformation.
Die Rollenelemente 21, 22 weisen je eine Länge von einem bis fünf Metern auf und zwischen diesen ist je ein Stützkörper 30 vorgesehen. Sie sind beispielsweise durch die gesamte Tunnellänge an beiden Strassenrändern in der Art einer Rohrleitung montiert.The roller elements 21, 22 each have a length of one to five meters, and a support body 30 is provided between them. For example, they are installed in the manner of a pipe through the entire length of the tunnel on both sides of the road.
Fig.3 und Fig.4 zeigen eine andere Variante eines erfindungsgemässen Leitsystems 40, von dem nachfolgend nurmehr die Unterschiede zu demjenigen nach Fig. l erläutert sind. Der hauptsächliche Unterschied besteht hierbei darin, dass sich der Absatz 54 beim Strassenrand 53 nicht senkrecht, sondern in einem Winkel von cirka 45° zur Fahrspur 1 1 erstreckt. Eine auf einer Sockelplatte 50 befestigte Stützplatte 45 kann somit unmittelbar auf diesem Absatz 54 stehen und die Rollenelemente 21, 22 sind wiederum an Wälzlagern 23 oder ähnlichem drehbar gelagert. Sie sind im Rahmen der Erfindung oberhalb der Strassenoberfläche 11 in einem annähernd dem halben Durchmesser eines Fahrzeugrades gebildeten Abstand angeordnet und sie ermöglichen hierdurch eine optimale Führung eines Fahrzeuges, welches aus unvorgesehenen Gründen gegen den Strassenrand fährt.3 and 4 show another variant of a control system 40 according to the invention, of which only the differences from that according to FIG. 1 are explained below. The main difference here is that the shoulder 54 at the roadside 53 does not extend vertically, but at an angle of approximately 45 ° to the lane 11. A support plate 45 fastened on a base plate 50 can thus stand directly on this shoulder 54 and the roller elements 21, 22 are in turn rotatably mounted on roller bearings 23 or the like. In the context of the invention, they are arranged above the road surface 11 at a distance formed by approximately half the diameter of a vehicle wheel and thereby enable optimal guidance of a vehicle which, for unforeseen reasons, drives against the roadside.
Mit dem Leitsystem 20' gemass Fig.5 ist verdeutlicht, dass sich dieses im Rahmen der Erfindung auch in einer Kurve anwenden lässt, wie dies beispielsweise in einem Parkhaus mit einem relativ kleinen Radius, aber auch in einer Strassenkurve mit einem grösseren Radius auftreten kann. Das eine längliche Rollenelement 21 ist hierbei mit dem annähernd im rechten Winkel zu diesem angeordneten Rollenelement 22 durch mehrere zueinander abgewinkelte Rollenelemente 61 verbunden. Diese Rollenelemente 61 bilden auf der Innenseite einen kontinuierlich verlaufenden Radius R und bei den Rollenelementen 21, 22 einen linienförmigen Übergang, so dass wenn ein Fahrzeug mit seinem Rad 15 gegen diese Rollenelemente 61 fährt, das Fahrzeug entlang dieser Rollenelemente 61 geführt ist. Diese Rollenelemente 61 sind jeweils auf einer Welle 65 gelagert, wobei mit Vorteil ein Wälzlager 66 vorhanden ist, um ein einwandfreies Drehen des Rollenelementes auf der Welle zu ermöglichen. Die Welle 65 ist vom einen bis zum anderen Rollenelement 21, 22 durchgehend angeordnet und an den Stützkörpern 60 befestigt. Es ist hierbei bezweckt, dass dieses Leitsystem im Stand ist, bis zu einem gewissen Masse ein in der Kurve aufprallendes Fahrzeug ohne Deformation zu führen. Selbstverständlich könnte das Leitsystem gemass Fig.5 auch eine Führung aussenseitig der Rollenelemente 66 bilden, wobei dann die Stützkörper innenseitig angeordnet sein müssten.With the guidance system 20 'according to FIG. 5, it is made clear that this can also be used in the context of the invention in a curve, as can occur, for example, in a parking garage with a relatively small radius, but also in a street curve with a larger radius. The one elongated roller element 21 is connected to the roller element 22 arranged approximately at right angles to it by a plurality of roller elements 61 angled to one another. These roller elements 61 form a continuously running radius R on the inside and a linear transition in the roller elements 21, 22, so that when a vehicle drives its wheel 15 against these roller elements 61, the vehicle is guided along these roller elements 61. These roller elements 61 are each mounted on a shaft 65, and there is advantageously a roller bearing 66 in order to enable the roller element to rotate properly on the shaft. The shaft 65 is arranged continuously from one to the other roller element 21, 22 and fastened to the support bodies 60. The purpose of this is that this control system is capable of guiding a vehicle hitting a curve without deformation to a certain extent. 5 could of course also form a guide on the outside of the roller elements 66, in which case the support bodies would then have to be arranged on the inside.
Die Erfindung ist mit den oben erläuterten Ausführungsbeispielen ausreichend dargetan. Sie Hesse sich jedoch noch in anderen Varianten darstellen. So könnten diese aus Rollenelementen 21, 22 erstellten Leitelemente an einem Strassenrand anstelle von herkömmlichen Leitplanken oder zusätzlich an solche bestehende Leitplanken montiert sein.The invention is sufficiently demonstrated with the exemplary embodiments explained above. However, they are presented in other variants. For example, these guide elements created from roller elements 21, 22 could be mounted on a roadside instead of conventional guard rails or additionally to such existing guard rails.
Die Leitelemente könnten im Prinzip auch aus jeweils zwei oder noch mehr parallel übereinander koaxial aneinandergereihten Rollenelementen 21, 22 bestehen, wobei die gegen die Fahrspur hin ausgerichteten Rollenelemente mit ihren Aussenflächen eine vertikale Ebene bilden würden.In principle, the guide elements could also consist of two or more roller elements 21, 22 coaxially lined up one above the other in parallel, with the roller elements aligned against the lane with their outer surfaces forming a vertical plane.
Das erfindungsgemässe Leitsystem Hesse sich auch beispielsweise in einem Tunnel mit zwei Gegenspuren, wie sich dies beispielsweise im Gott- hardtunnel präsentiert, in der Mitte der Strasse platzieren, so dass mit ihr verlässlich verhindert werden könnte, dass Fahrzeuge auf die Gegenspur gelangen könnten.The control system Hesse according to the invention can also be placed, for example, in a tunnel with two opposite lanes, as is shown, for example, in the Gotthardt tunnel, in the middle of the street, so that it could reliably prevent vehicles from entering the opposite lane.
Solche erfindungsgemässen Leitsysteme könnten beispielsweise auch bei Parkplätzen, in Parkhäusern oder an ramponierten Strassenstellen angeordnet werden. Such guidance systems according to the invention could also be arranged, for example, in parking lots, in parking garages or on battered street locations.
