Description
Hazard Light System and Operating Method for a Hazard Light System
The invention relates to a hazard light system and an operating method of a hazard light system according to the preambles of the independent claims.
Vehicles are equipped with hazard lights which can be engaged by the driver in order to give a warning to other drivers e.g. when the vehicle comes to a halt in emergency situations or if the vehicle represents an unforeseen obstacle at critical locations such as behind a blind bend. The location of the switch for turning on the hazard lights is not standardized in vehicles or trucks and varies among different vehicle brands. As the driver may not need the hazard light frequently, it might be difficult for the driver to find the switch in an emergency case, wasting valuable seconds for timely warning of other drivers, thus increasing the risk of an accident.
Hazard light systems are known in the art which automatically switch on the hazard lights in such cases. CA 2 302 897 discloses a system coupled to an air bag sensor wherein the hazard lights are turned on when the air bag ignites. According to WO 02/058961 the hazard lights can automatically be triggered if a traffic jam is detected and the vehicle decelerates. JP-03-135851 proposes to trigger the hazard lights automatically as soon as an abrupt deceleration of the vehicle is sensed in order to warn the drivers following the decelerating car.
It is an object of the invention to provide a hazard light system an operating system which reliably allows a driver to find a means to trigger the hazard lights in a vehicle and to switch on the hazard lights in time.
The objects are achieved by the features of the independent claims. The other claims and the description disclose advantageous embodiments of the invention.
A hazard light system is proposed which comprises hazard lights attached to a vehicle and activation means for activating the hazard lights, wherein position location means for locating the position of the vehicle are functionally coupled to the hazard lights for directly or indirectly activating the hazard lights in dependence of an actual geographical position of the vehicle. The position location means can be a satellite-supported GPS system used
in vehicle navigation or other positioning means known in the art where position information can be received from land-borne equipments. As soon as a geographical position is detected, which is not a regular parking place, for example an emergency halt in the road or the like, the system reminds the driver to switch on the hazard light. In case of an emergency, e.g. when stopping on a highway, valuable seconds are saved and other vehicles are warned of the vehicle blocking normally free space. However, the driver can decide if it is necessary to switch on the hazard lights when there is no legal requirement or other reason to do so. "Indirectly activating" means that according to a preferred embodiment, the driver is informed that the hazard light should be activated. Consequently, the driver can actively turn on the hazard light or not turn on the hazard light. "Directly activating" means that according to another embodiment, the hazard light is turned on automatically.
Preferably, the position location means is connected to an alarm unit, the alarm unit being responsive to the actual position of the vehicle provided by the position location means. Preferably, a control unit can be provided for coupling the position location means to the alarm unit.
A decision means can be provided for deciding if the vehicle is in a geographical position where the hazard lights should be activated or not. For instance, when the vehicle stops at a regular parking place of a motorway service area near a highway, most probably there is no need for activating of the hazard light. If the vehicle stops at an emergency lane, however, there is a high probability that the hazard light should be turned on. In this case, the system can issue a warning to remind the driver of doing so at once.
The alarm unit can comprise a visual unit and/or an acoustical unit for issuing information to a driver to switch on the hazard lights. Preferably, the visual unit can comprise a display and/or a signal light. Preferably, the acoustical unit can comprise a sound signal generator and/or a voice signal generator.
If a confirmation means can be provided for the driver to confirm the receipt of the information, the alertness of the driver can be increased and the information will most likely not be ignored. The confirmation means can be a switch which can trigger the activation of the hazard light and/or be a touch screen displaying the information. In the latter case the driver not only gets an early reminder of what to do but also has an easy access to an activation means by touching the screen displaying the information. The display may also show the actual location of the hazard light switch in the vehicle.
The alarm unit can be coupled to a vehicle device, the device being. responsive to vehicular malfunction. This enforces a quick response of the driver who usually may be distracted and too focused on the malfunction in such situations to remember switching on the hazard light as soon as possible.
According to another aspect of the invention a method for operating a hazard light system is proposed, which system comprises hazard lights attached to a vehicle and activation means for activating the hazard lights. The hazard lights are directly or indirectly activated in dependence of an actual geographical position of the vehicle.
Preferably, an alarm can be issued to the driver responsive to the actual position of the vehicle. The alarm can be a visual alarm such as a signal light of a display showing text and/or pictograms as driver information.
The system can decide if the vehicle is in a geographical position where the hazard lights should be activated or not. The alertness of the driver is only triggered if necessary thus increasing the acceptance of the system information and consequently increasing the safety of the driver.
The alarm can be issued when the vehicle is stopped in an unmarked parking position, thus decreasing the risk of an accident if the vehicle is in an emergency position and an obstacle for other drivers.
The alarm can provide a visual and/or an acoustical information which can be issued to a driver of the vehicle.
The alarm can be stopped by a confirmation signal of the driver. This can ensure the activation of the hazard light if needed. An unnecessary alert can be avoided and the driver's acceptance of the system can be increased.
An actual geographical position signal of the vehicle can be analyzed on stopping the vehicle and an alarm can be issued if the actual geographical position of the vehicle is identified to be outside of a parking zone.
The present invention together with the above-mentioned and other objects and advantages may best be-understood-from-the following detailed. description of the embodiments, but not restricted to the embodiments, wherein is shown schematically:
Fig. 1 a preferred vehicle in a non-marked parking position with activated hazard lights; and
Fig. 2 a schematic sketch of a preferred hazard light system coupled to a GPS satellite.
In the drawings, equal or similar elements are referred to by equal reference numerals. The drawings are merely schematic representations, not intended to portray specific parameters of the invention. Moreover, the drawings are intended to depict only typical embodiments of the invention and therefore should not be considered as limiting the scope of the invention.
Fig. 1 schematically depicts a situation where a preferred vehicle 10 with a preferred hazard light system 10 has come to a halt in a non-marked parking position 22 close to a road 20. The vehicle 10 comprises hazard lights 12a, 12b, 14a, 14b which are activated in this case
Vehicular position location means, such as a GPS system (not shown) and a satellite 50 transmitting position data to the GPS system are functionally coupled to the hazard lights 12a, 12b, 14a, 14b for directly or indirectly activating the hazard lights 12a, 12b, 14a, 14b in dependence of the actual geographical position 22 of the vehicle 10.
A schematic sketch of a preferred embodiment of the hazard light system 100 is depicted in Fig. 2. The hazard light system 100 comprises vehicular hazard lights 12a, 12b, 14a, 14b, a vehicular position location means 30, e.g. a GPS system, an alarm unit 40, which is responsive to an actual position of the vehicle 10 (Fig. 1 ). The GPS system receives actual position information from a satellite 50 which transmits position data to the vehicle 10.
The vehicular position location means 30 is connected to an alarm unit 40. The alarm unit 40 is responsive to the actual vehicle's position. The alarm unit 40 receives corresponding signals from a control unit 36 which comprises e.g. a decision means 32 which decides - if the vehicle 10 has come to a halt - if the actual position of the vehicle 10 is in a regular
parking position e.g. of a motorway service area or in a non-marked parking position e.g. on an emergency lane.. In th.e latter-case-the.alarm .unit^O-.isJriggered-toJssue information and remind the driver of switching on the hazard lights 12, 12b, 14a, 14b.
On stopping the vehicle 10 an actual geographical position signal of the vehicle 10 is analyzed and an alarm is issued if the actual geographical position 22 of the vehicle 10 is identified to be outside of a parking zone. The alarm can be stopped if the driver issues a confirmation signal.
The vehicular hazard lights 12a, 13b, 14a, 14b can be activated when the driver confirms that he has realized the information issued and e.g. activates a confirmation means 46, e.g. a switch. Reasonably, the confirmation signal can be positive, resulting in activating the hazard lights 12a, 12b, 14a, 14b, and negative without hazard-light activation.
By way of example the alarm unit 40 comprises a visual unit 42 and an acoustical unit 44 for issuing the information to the driver to switch on the hazard lights 12a, 12b, 14a, 14b. The visual unit 42 e.g. is a screen where the information is preferably displayed as an eye-catching text information. The screen can be a touch screen for receiving the confirmation signal of the driver. The acoustical unit 44, e.g. a loudspeaker coupled to a voice generator can issue a verbal information that immediate activation of the hazard lights is required.
In the embodiment described, the alarm unit 40 is coupled to a vehicle device 34 which is responsive to a vehicular malfunction, e.g. a flat tire and/or a motor defect and/or a brake defect and the like, which can be sensed by adequate sensors coupled to a vehicle control unit (not shown). If the vehicle 10 comes to a halt at an unmarked parking zone, the alarm unit 40 is triggered to issue a reminding information prompting the driver to turn on the hazard lights 12a, 12b, 14a, 14b. The control unit 36 can already start to prepare issuing the information when the vehicle 10 starts to decelerate, thus avoiding a time delay between informing the driver about the need to turn on the hazard lights 12a, 12b, 14a, 14b and stopping the vehicle 10.
Besides informing and reminding the driver of turning on the hazard lights 12a, 12b, 14a, 14b, the preferred hazard light system 100 can also provide further information for the driver which could be helpful in the case of a vehicle breakdown, such as reminding of positioning a breakdown triangle and informing about the place where it is stowed in the
vehicle 10. This is particularly reasonable if a vehicular malfunction is detected which causes a stop of the vehicle 10 outside ota-regular~parkiag.ar.ea.
Additionally, the hazard light system could provide information about the telephone numbers of the next automobile roadway repair services or a proximate repair shop and the like.
The invention allows for saving valuable time as other drivers can be informed as soon as possible about the parking vehicle by activating the hazard lights 12a, 12b, 14a, 14b as early as possible and thus increases the safety to traffic.
