Definitions
- the present invention relates to a signal system for installation in automobiles to indicate to users of pedestrian crossings that the vehicle driver keeps the transition clear for the passage of pedestrians.
- the object of the present invention is to provide increased safety for all road users in traffic situations at pedestrian crossings in any weather and at any time of the day, and this with reasonable effort.
- the basic idea of the solution lies in early signaling by the motorist when recognizing pedestrians at the pedestrian crossing.
- the invention proposes a system defined in the characterizing part of claim 1.
- the invention is explained in more detail below with reference to an embodiment shown in the drawing.
- the sole figure shows a signal system according to the invention in a purely schematic manner.
- the signal system to be installed in an automobile comprises at least one light source 1 to be attached to the front of the vehicle, a switch 2 to be fitted inside the vehicle with control electronics 2 ′ and a connection to the vehicle battery.
- two light sources 2 are provided, e.g. integrated into the two main lamps of the vehicle, which emit a light that is clearly distinguishable from the other light sources, preferably a green light, when switched on.
- the light sources 1 can be configured as light chains in the form of a multiplicity of small lamps, which are each arranged around a main lamp. It is important that the signal emitted by such light sources is clearly and clearly recognizable for pedestrians.
- the use of the invention is particularly useful when as many of the automobiles as possible are equipped with a corresponding system.
- a vehicle sent out from a vehicle approaching the pedestrian crossing e.g. Green signal means that the driver has recognized the pedestrians and leaves them free to cross the passage. So that such signals are not too early or too high
- Vehicle speed can be given
- the electronic control preferably ensures that the light source can only be switched on when that Vehicle is stationary or its speed does not exceed a maximum value.
- the controller 2 also ensures that the light duration of the signal light source remains limited, e.g. to about 10 seconds.
- the hazard warning lights (at least at the rear) can also be switched on. Thanks to the system according to the invention, the safety of all road users can be increased with relatively little effort. It would reduce the risk of accidents at pedestrian crossings.
