Die Erfindung betrifft ein Warngerät für Kraftfahrzeuge. Di^ Erfahrung hat gezeigt, daß UnialIe auf hochfrequentWerten Straßen, imslbeeonder«* auf Autobahnen, wie aber auch auf anderen Schsiellstr&äa^s, ^fufig 2U äachfolgeunfällen führen, insbesondere «ami, wenn 14e Sicht durch Dunkelheit, Nebel oder Segen zusätzlich eingeschrä^ct ist. Unter diesen Umständen sind MasstsnkarajsbüiÄc-si mit TOO oder mehr Fahrzeugen Veine Seltenheit. Die wirtschaftlichen wie auch persönlichen Folgen dieser Unfälle sind bekanntlich weitreichend.The invention relates to a warning device for motor vehicles. Experience has shown that accidents on busy roads, particularly on motorways and other fast roads, often lead to secondary accidents, particularly when visibility is further restricted by darkness, fog or rain. Under these circumstances, mass accidents involving 100 or more vehicles are a rarity. The economic and personal consequences of these accidents are well known to be far-reaching.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Warngerät vorzuschlagen, das den nachfolgenden wie auch entgegenkomaenden Verkehr inner dann warnt, wenn sich Unfälle in einem bestimmten Umkreis ereignet haben. Eine weitere Aufgabe besteht darin, dieses Warngerät mit einer Option auszubilden, die es gestattet, den nachfolgenden Verkehr auf schwierige Gefahrenssituationen hinzuweisen.The invention is based on the object of proposing a warning device that warns following and oncoming traffic when accidents have occurred within a certain radius. A further object is to design this warning device with an option that allows following traffic to be alerted to difficult dangerous situations.
Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemaß dadurch gelöst, daß das Warngerät einen Sender für die Übermittlung von Funksignalen, einen Empfänger für den Smpfang dieser Funkeignale sowie einen von einem Beschleunigungseensor betätigbaren Schalter für die Aktivierung des senders aufweist.This object is achieved according to the invention in that the warning device has a transmitter for transmitting radio signals, a receiver for receiving these radio signals and a switch that can be operated by an acceleration sensor for activating the transmitter.
Ereignet sieh ein Unfall in einem Fahrzeug, in dem das erfindungsgemäße Warngerät eingebaut ist, bei dem eine Beschleunigung erreicht wird, die einen vorgegebenen WertIf an accident occurs in a vehicle in which the warning device according to the invention is installed, in which an acceleration is reached which exceeds a predetermined value
übersteigt, so wird der Sender aktiviert und sendet ein Signal aus, das die sich in einem bestimmten Umkreis befindlichen anderen mit einem derartigen Warngerät: ausgerüsteten Fahrzeuge alarmiert. Die Empfangsgeräte in diesen fahrzeugen empfangen das Gefahrensignal und lösen ihrerseits sine optische und/e<5ar luetische Anzeige in dem Fahrzeug aus, so daß der Fahrer des Wagens auf eine möglicherweise bevorstehende Gefahrensituation hingewiesen wird. Der Fahrer hat also rechtzeitig die Möglichkeit, sich auf die verkehrsbedingten Behinderungen einzustellenexceeds the speed limit, the transmitter is activated and sends out a signal that alerts other vehicles within a certain radius that are equipped with such a warning device. The receivers in these vehicles receive the danger signal and in turn trigger an optical and/or syringe display in the vehicle, so that the driver of the vehicle is alerted to a potentially impending dangerous situation. The driver therefore has the opportunity to prepare for the traffic-related obstructions in good time.
Vorteilhaft ist die Einschaltdauer des Senders sowie dessen Sendeleistung vorbestimmt, so daß bei einem entsprechend ausgelegten Empfangsteil nicht nur das Ereignis als solches festgestellt werden kann, sondern auch die ungefähre Entfernung angegeben wird, in der eich das empfangene Fahrzeug zu dem das Signal ausstrahlende Fahrzeug befindet. Hierdurch wird ein erhöhtes Maß an Sicherheit gegeben.Advantageously, the duration of the transmitter's operation and its transmission power are predetermined, so that with a suitably designed receiver, not only can the event itself be determined, but also the approximate distance between the received vehicle and the vehicle transmitting the signal is indicated. This provides an increased level of security.
Gemäß einem weiteren Vorschlag der Erfindung wird der Sender nach einer vorgegebenen Zeit deaktiviert. Zusätzlich ist as Warngerät ein Aueschaltknopf vorhanden, der es gestattet, das Warngerät dann auszuschalten, wenn die Gefah-.reneituation für die nachfolgenden Fahrzeuge bereinigt ist.According to a further proposal of the invention, the transmitter is deactivated after a predetermined time. In addition, the warning device has a switch-off button that allows the warning device to be switched off when the dangerous situation for the following vehicles has been resolved.
GenAß einer vorteilhaften Auegestaltung der Erfindung ist der Sender mit einer Einrichtung versehen, die es gestattet, ein zweites Signal auszusenden, das z.B. dann entweder von Hand oder durch ein anderes elektronisches Bauteil eingeschaltet werden kann, wenn eich der wagen am Ende eines Staus befindet. Dieses Signal kann vorteilhaft nur aktiviert werden und schaltet sich nach kurzer Dauer selbsttätig wieder ab.According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the transmitter is provided with a device that allows a second signal to be sent out, which can be switched on either manually or by another electronic component, for example, when the vehicle is at the end of a traffic jam. This signal can advantageously only be activated and switches itself off again after a short period of time.
In einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, daß, insbesondere an den Autobahnen, in vorgegebenen Abständen Empfänger aufgestellt werden, die in der Lage sind, die Signale aufzunehmen, die von den Warngeräten abgegeben werden. Hierdurch ist es möglich, Rettungsdienste frühzeitig zu alarmieren. Vorteilhaft sollten diese Empfänger mit den bekannten Notrufsäulen kombiniert werden.In a further development of the invention, it is provided that, particularly on motorways, receivers are set up at predetermined intervals that are able to pick up the signals emitted by the warning devices. This makes it possible to alert emergency services at an early stage. These receivers should advantageously be combined with the known emergency call boxes.
Ein Aust'ührungsbeispiel der Erfindung ist im folgenden anhand der Zeichnung näher beschrieben, die ein Blockschaltbild eines erfindungsgemäß ausgebildeten Warngerütes zeigt.An embodiment of the invention is described in more detail below with reference to the drawing, which shows a block diagram of a warning device designed according to the invention.
(1) bezeichnet den beschleunigungsabhängigen Sensor, der bei einer Überschreitung einer bestimmten Beschleunigung den Sender (2) einschaltet. Ober den Sender (2) werden Signale über die Antenne (5) ausgesandt, die vom Empfänger (6) von gleich ausgebildeten Warngeräten empfangen und am Anzeigegerät (7) angezeigt werden. Falls dem nachfolgenden Verkehr nur mitgeteilt werden soll, daß das Fahrzeug sich an einem Ende eines Staus befindet, so wird der Sender (2) über den Schalter (4) betätigt. Ober den Schalter (8) kann ein weiteres Signal z.B. zur Mitteilung eines Staus aktiviert werden.(1) refers to the acceleration-dependent sensor, which switches on the transmitter (2) when a certain acceleration is exceeded. The transmitter (2) sends signals via the antenna (5), which are received by the receiver (6) of similarly designed warning devices and displayed on the display device (7). If the following traffic only needs to be informed that the vehicle is at the end of a traffic jam, the transmitter (2) is activated via the switch (4). A further signal, e.g. to report a traffic jam, can be activated via the switch (8).
