Definitions

  • the invention is based on a method for detecting vehicles having at least one vehicle exterior mirror with at least one sensor in the vehicle exterior mirror and at least one warning display on or in the vehicle exterior mirror or in the vehicle.
  • the invention is based on a vehicle outside mirror for carrying out the method.
  • signal light units in particular light units, as repeating flashing lights or continuous lights.
  • repeating flashing lights devices are still known, which are designed to issue a warning message.
  • the alerts can have very different sources.
  • the warning messages are to support, for example, the motor vehicle driver in the overtaking decision as blind spot monitor BSM for monitoring the blind spot.
  • a display area is provided in the mirror glass or other locations in the mirror, which can signal the driver by means of a simple light display or image / icon display a corresponding warning message in an intended lane change.
  • Known systems for displaying a warning signal are the blind spot warning or blind spot monitoring.
  • the lane change assistant for motor vehicles works with a sensor system, including a radar system for locating vehicles in traffic.
  • a radar system for locating vehicles in traffic.
  • the driver is informed of an optical or acoustic warning signal in the exterior mirror or the exterior mirror housing or in the interior of the vehicle.
  • radar sensors are structurally smaller and it is thus open the possibility to consider the mirrors as a location.
  • the sensors, which are installed in the exterior mirror have a better overview of the traffic.
  • an optical module is arranged behind the mirror surface of the exterior mirror.
  • a recess in the heating pipes is made at the location of the optical module.
  • the use of optical sensors is complex, the evaluation of image signals requires a fast processor and is only useful if an image analysis is required.
  • US9096175 B1 discloses a method which, with the aid of a combination of optical and radar sensors, permits a visual representation of the traffic situation around a vehicle. The method uses a large number of sensors and an image representation as well as a representation of the relative speeds and is elaborately implemented.
  • a rearview mirror should contain all components that are necessary for the implementation of the method.
  • the object is achieved with a method for detecting vehicles having at least one vehicle exterior mirror with at least one radar sensor in the vehicle exterior mirror and at least one warning display on or in the vehicle exterior mirror with the following steps:
  • the method has the advantage that the defined areas have a simple correlation to a warning signal, so that the driver is able to react to an approaching vehicle without analyzing a pictorial representation.
  • the method allows easy monitoring of the vehicle sides.
  • the measurement of the at least one radar sensor comprises a measurement of the relative speed of the approaching vehicle to the measuring vehicle. So it is also possible to present a warning of fast approaching vehicles. It makes sense to introduce a threshold speed.
  • the vehicle exterior mirror for use in the method contains at least one sensor and a warning display.
  • the warning display consists of individual sections, wherein the individual sections can be activated as a warning signal for individual measured areas along the vehicle.
  • FIG. 3 is a view of an exterior mirror with optical display as a bar graph with different warning intensity.
  • Fig. 5 is a process scheme.
  • the method according to the invention is shown as a diagram in FIG. 5 and considers the traffic situations of a vehicle 10 as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2.
  • the procedure comprises the steps:
  • the method is explained on the basis of a vehicle outside mirror on the driver's side, but is applicable to the other side of the vehicle.
  • the vehicle 10 is traveling on a middle lane or is parked. Both scenarios are taken into account.
  • the vehicle has at least one vehicle outside mirror, which has a sensor, for example a radar sensor 7 and a warning display 2.
  • the radar sensor sweeps a defined area from the vehicle 10 backwards along the vehicle longitudinal axis.
  • the monitored area in this illustration is the near area and is shown as a dotted area.
  • This short range in this example is divided into three areas 40a, 40b and 40c, the pitch being uniform may be, for example, every 5 meters or unevenly in any division. How far the short range extends is also the definition of the vehicle manufacturer, a close range of 15 m to 20 m, however, has proven itself.
  • the radar sensor detects a vehicle 20 that is in one of the areas 40a, 40b or 40c.
  • the measurement is independent of the speed of the vehicle 10.
  • a warning display is activated.
  • the warning indicator has a possibility to increasingly connect the danger resulting from an increasing approximation to the vehicle 10 with increasing light signals.
  • three lights are mounted on or in the vehicle exterior mirror, which are connected to a controller that maps the areas on the displays.
  • the warning indicator is, for example, a bar graph.
  • area 40c only a portion of the warning display, or only an LED or other light source, e.g. an OLED is activated. If the vehicle 20 is detected in the area 40b, two sections of the warning display are activated and, when approaching in the area 40a, all three sections are activated. It is only important that an escalation of the danger is presented, which can be realized by an embodiment of the display with increasing hue o- increasing brightness. A color change is also suitable for presentation.
  • this method also serves as a door opening warning when the vehicle is stationary.
  • the method may be supplemented to the extent that the door opening is blocked when a detection of a vehicle has taken place in at least the area 40a.
  • FIG. 2 shows a further application of the method.
  • an area 40d is defined, which extends in the long range along the vehicle longitudinal axis. This remote area extends about 60 m to the rear.
  • the relative speed is determined to the measuring vehicle. This measurement takes place in the rear part of the area 40 d to about 20 m by the radar sensor itself, without having to use speed data of the vehicle 10. Only if the difference speed is higher than a defined threshold, the situation is evaluated as a danger and all warning displays with all sections are activated flashing or represented by the already mentioned escalation steps. Such a warning of fast approaching vehicles may be activated, for example, at an excess speed of 50 km.
  • the vehicle exterior mirror 1 is fastened in a known manner to the driver or passenger outside of the motor vehicle.
  • the drawn coordinate system designates the vehicle longitudinal axis x, vehicle transverse axis y and vehicle vertical axis z.
  • the mirror head 4 is adjustably or foldably arranged on the mirror base 3 and has a housing shell 5 made of a thermoplastic material which has a receiving opening for a reflective element 6.
  • the reflective element 6 is bordered by a frame element of the housing shell 5.
  • the reflective element 6 arranged in the housing shell 5 is usually mounted on or connected to an adjustable support plate T not shown in the interior of the housing shell 5.
  • the reflecting element 6 is designed as a partially aspherical mirror. These are understood as mirrors which consist of a partial region T1 in the mirror glass of a spherically convex or planar mirror surface with an additional region T2 connected to the outside in the mirror glass as an aspherical part. This additional area T2 must be marked for approval of the vehicle exterior mirrors according to European directives, in general the area is marked with a delimiter B.
  • the optical display 2 is arranged in this embodiment behind the reflective element 6 in the interior of the mirror head 4.
  • a radar sensor 7 is attached to the vehicle exterior mirror. The location may be behind the mirror glass, whereby here is to ensure a permeability of the radar frequencies through the mirror coating.
  • the radar sensor can also be installed in the mirror housing itself and by the plastic material, such as ABS, PC ABS, PA, PUR, PP or ASA, measure with a potential paint job. With plastic component thicknesses of about 2 to 3 mm, a radar sensor can work without any problems. It is also conceivable to fix the radar sensor in a space attached to the underside of the mirror housing, or to dimension the frame of the housing at the bottom of the mirror higher or even in the fixed area (mirror base).
  • the radar sensor or another distance sensor and the display can be installed in a module with the blind spot assistant / blind spot module.
  • the visual display is a bar graph extending along the virtual boundary. In this case, more and more of the beam and the optical signal is switched to starting from a first warning in Figure 3 until the maximum extent is reached across the reflective element. This is only indicated in FIG. In the example shown, three stages of the illumination of the warning display are realized.
  • FIG. 4 shows an alternative embodiment in which segments spaced apart from one another can be switched on one after the other and the maximum display consists of an interrupted structure.
  • the number of sections 30 a, b, c is arbitrary and, like the color scheme, left to the design of the vehicle manufacturer.
  • FIG. 3 shows an illumination of the first section of the light bar of the optical display 2.
  • the first section of the light bar of the optical display is activated when an adjacent motor vehicle on a neighboring lane is located in the area 40c.
  • the first and second sections of the illuminated display of the optical display light up to warn the driver.
  • the optical display is controlled such that illuminate all sections of the light bar of the optical display.
  • FIG. 4 shows three separate display areas with sections 30a, 30b and 30c. Depending on the approach, one, two or three sections are activated.
  • the displays are connected to a controller, which is responsible for the control.
  • the controller is disposed in the vehicle exterior mirror and controls both the radar sensor and the warning indicators.
  • the controller can also be arranged in the vehicle itself, for example in the door module.
  • the control functions can be perceived bundled in a controller or distributed on controllers.
