Description

BeschreibungDescription

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zur Information von Kraftfahrern im Strassenverkehr.(Lichtzeicheneinrichtung)The invention relates to a device for informing drivers in road traffic. (Traffic light device)

Schon seit einigen Jahren besteht eine Vekehrsvorschrift, daß Linienbusse', Schulbusse und andere zur Personenbeförderung eingesetzte Fahrzeuge nicht überholt werden dürfen, wenn sie bei der Anfahrt zu einer Haltestelle den Warnblinker betätigen.For several years now, there has been a traffic regulation that public buses, school buses and other vehicles used to transport people may not be overtaken if they activate their hazard lights when approaching a stop.

Eine groß angelegte Umfrage durch Polizei und Autofahrer-Club hat ergeben, daß nur sehr wenige Kraftfahrer diese Vorschrift befolgen, weil sie es einfach gar nicht wissen, oder aus Unachtsamkeit die obengenannten Fahrzeuge trotz deren eingeschalteten Warnblinker noch überholen und damit eine Gefärdung von Passanten und insbesondere von Schulkindern hervorrufen.A large-scale survey by the police and the motorists' club has shown that very few drivers follow this regulation because they simply do not know it or because they are careless and overtake the above-mentioned vehicles despite their hazard lights being switched on, thereby endangering pedestrians and especially schoolchildren.

Die hier beschriebene Vorrichtung zur Information der Kraftfahrer besteht im Wesentlichen aus einem Überhol Verbotsschild, das am linken hinteren Ende der Beförderungsfahrzeuge angebracht ist und nur dann zu blinken beginnt, wenn die Warnblinkanlage in Betrieb ist.The device described here for informing motorists essentially consists of a no-overtaking sign which is attached to the left rear end of the transport vehicles and which only starts to flash when the hazard warning lights are in operation.

Damit die Kraftfahrer aber nicht durch ein übliches Uberholverbotsschild an jedem Bus irritiert werden, soll es im nicht blinkedendem Zustand nur als weisse Scheibe von etwa der halben Größe der üblichen Schilder-zu sehen-sein. Dieser Effekt wird dadurch erreicht, daß das Symbol, zwei nebeneinander dargestellte Fahrzeuge, auf weissem Grund und rot umrandet, sich hinter einer Milchglasscheibe befindet und nur dann zu sehen ist, wenn es von hinten her durch die mitblinkenden Lampen oder Leuchtdioden beleuchtet wird.To ensure that drivers are not confused by the usual no-overtaking sign on every bus, it should only be visible as a white disc about half the size of the usual sign when it is not flashing. This effect is achieved by placing the symbol, two vehicles next to each other on a white background with a red border, behind a frosted glass pane and only being visible when it is illuminated from behind by the flashing lamps or LEDs.

Für nur sporadisch eingesetzte Fahrzeuge zum Personentransport (Schulbusse) kann die Lichtzeicheneinrichtung auch dergestalt ausgeführt werden, daß sie mittels einer Magnet-Haftplatte angebracht werden kann. Damit kein Eingriff in die Elektrik des Trägerfahrzeuges vorgenommen werden muß, ist in der Lichtzeicheneinrichtung eine Batterie eingebaut. Die Ansteuerung der Lampen oder Leuchtdioden erfolgt ebenfalls ohne Eingriff in die Fahrzeugelektrik. Dies geschieht durch lichtempfindliche Sensoren (Fototransistor oder Fotowiderstand), welche über ein flexibles Kabel in die Nähe der beiden hinteren Blinkleuchten gebracht werden und die Blinkimpulse auf ein elektronisches Steuergerät übertragen. Die beiden hierfür notwendigen Kabel werden ebenfalls durch Magnete 'gehalten.For vehicles that are only used sporadically to transport people (school buses), the traffic light device can also be designed in such a way that it can be attached using a magnetic plate. A battery is built into the traffic light device so that no intervention in the electrics of the carrier vehicle is necessary. The lamps or LEDs are also controlled without intervention in the vehicle's electrics. This is done by light-sensitive sensors (phototransistor or photoresistor), which are brought close to the two rear indicator lights via a flexible cable and transmit the flashing pulses to an electronic control unit. The two cables required for this are also held in place by magnets.

Durch das blinkende, und nur ha^b so grosse Überholverbotsschild, wird sicherlich jeder Kraftfahrer zum Nachdenken und zur Erinnerung an die vielleicht schon vergessene Vorschrift angeregt. Es soll aber auch zum Ausdruck gebracht werden, daß das Überholen ja nicht generell verboten ist:, denn wenn z.B. der Bus in eine Haltebucht einfährt und zum Stillstand gekommen ist, darf mit geringer Geschwindigkeit überholt werden.The flashing, and only this large, no-overtaking sign will certainly make every driver think and remember the rule they may have already forgotten. But it should also be made clear that overtaking is not generally prohibited: for example, if the bus pulls into a lay-by and has come to a standstill, overtaking is permitted at low speed.

Überholverbot) nur dann zu erkennen ist, wenn es von hinten durch Lampen oder Leuchtdioden aufgehellt wird. 3. Traffic light device according to claim 1 or 2, characterized in that the symbol displayed (e.g. no overtaking) can only be recognized when it is illuminated from behind by lamps or light-emitting diodes. 4. Lichtzeicheneinrichtung nach Anspruch 1 bis 3 dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß die im Inneren befindlichen Lampen oder Leuchtdioden über ein elektronisches Schaltgerät von den beiden am Heck befindlichen Blinkleuchten angesteuert werden können. 4.

Lichtzeicheneinrichtung nach Anspruch 1 bis 4 dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß die Ansteuerung der Lampen oder Leuchtdioden auch ohne Eingriff in die elektrische Anlage des Trägerfahrzeuges über lichtempfindliche Sensoren, die von außen in die Nähe der Blinkleuchten des Fahrzeuges gebracht werden, wobei die Stromversorgung durch eine in der Lichtzeicheneinrichtung befindlichen Batterie übernommen wird. 5. Light signal device according to claims 1 to 4, characterized in that the lamps or light-emitting diodes can be controlled without interfering with the electrical system of the carrier vehicle via light-sensitive sensors which are brought from outside into the vicinity of the flashing lights of the vehicle, the power supply being taken over by a battery located in the light signal device. 6. Lichtzeicheneinrichtung nach Anspruch 1 bis 5 dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß sie nicht fest mit dem Trägerfahrzeug verbunden werden muß, sondern über eine Magnetplatte ähnlich wie Dachschilder von Taxifahrzeugen, befestigt werden kann. 6. Traffic light device according to claims 1 to 5, characterized in that it does not have to be firmly connected to the carrier vehicle, but can be attached via a magnetic plate similar to roof signs of taxi vehicles. 7. Lichtzeicheneinrichtung nach Anspruch 1 bis 6 dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß das darzustellende Symbol aus einzelnen Leuchtpunkten oder Leuchtstreifen besteht. 7. Light signal device according to claims 1 to 6, characterized in that the symbol to be displayed consists of individual luminous dots or luminous strips. 8.
