Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Anlage zur Alarmierung bei Befahren einer Fahrspur mit einem Fahrzeug in einer verbotenen Fahrtrichtung.The invention relates to a system for alarming when driving in a lane a vehicle in a forbidden direction.
In den letzten Jahren stiegen in erschreckendem Maße bekanntgewordene Fälle an, bei denen Autofahrer absichtlich oder versehentlich entgegen der vorgeschriebenen Fahrtrichtung auf Autobahnen und Schnellstraßen auffuhren und dadurch oftmals schwerste Verkehrsunfälle verursachten. Es hat bereits zahlreiche Versuche gegeben, diesem Problem zu begegnen und Systeme zu entwickeln, um das Befahren von Autobahnen und Schnellstraßen entgegen der vorgeschriebenen Fahrtrichtung zu erkennen und wenn möglich zu verhindern. Solche Anlagen sind auch als "Geisterfahrer-Warnsysteme" bekannt. Bisher ist jedoch kein System bekannt, das sich als ausreichend praxistauglich erwiesen hätte. Am erfolgversprechendsten erschien bis jetzt ein Ansatz, wonach bei Erkennen eines Fahrzeugs, das sich in einer verbotenen Fahrtrichtung auf einer Fahrspur bewegt, quer über die Fahrbahn angeordnete Nägel oder Messer ausgefahren werden, um diesem Fahrzeug bei Überfahren dieser Sperre die Reifen aufzuschlitzen und es somit zumindest an schneller Weiterfahrt zu hindern. Nachteilig an diesem System ist allerdings, das einerseits dieses Fahrzeug durch die Zerstörung der Reifen in Schleudergefahr gebracht und somit das Risiko eines Frontalaufpralls auf ein entgegenkommendes Fahrzeug noch erhöht wird, und andererseits das Fahrzeug nicht verlässlich zum Stehen gebracht werden kann. Weiters wird durch dieses System zwar das sich entgegen der vorgeschriebenen Fahrtrichtung bewegende Fahrzeug beschädigt und in seiner Weiterfahrt beeinträchtigt, eine Warnung an alle entgegenkommenden Fahrzeuglenker ist bei diesem System allerdings nicht vorgesehen.In recent years, there have been alarming increases in the number of cases which drivers intentionally or accidentally violate the prescribed Driving directions on motorways and expressways and therefore often caused serious traffic accidents. There have been numerous attempts to face this problem and to develop systems to drive on Motorways and expressways against the prescribed direction of travel recognize and prevent if possible. Such facilities are also considered "Ghost driver warning systems" known. So far, however, no system is known to be would have proven to be sufficiently practical. The most promising appeared until now an approach according to which when detecting a vehicle that is in a prohibited Direction of travel in a lane, nails arranged across the lane or knives are extended to this vehicle when this lock is passed Slit open the tire and at least prevent it from moving on quickly. A disadvantage of this system, however, is that this vehicle has the one hand Destruction of the tires put them in danger of skidding and thus the risk of one Frontal impact on an oncoming vehicle is increased, and on the other hand, the vehicle cannot be brought to a reliable stop. Furthermore, is this system that is contrary to the prescribed direction of travel moving vehicle damaged and impaired in its onward travel, a warning to all oncoming drivers is not with this system intended.
Die vorliegende Erfindung versucht die angesprochenen Probleme zu lösen oder zumindest zu lindern, indem eine Anlage zur Alarmierung bei Befahren einer Fahrspur mit einem Fahrzeug in einer verbotenen Fahrtrichtung bereitgestellt wird, die einen an oder in der Fahrspur angeordneten Detektor zur Ermittlung des Vorhandenseins eines bewegten Fahrzeugs und seiner Bewegungsrichtung und eine mit dem Detektor kommunizierende Steuereinrichtung umfasst. Die Erfindung liegt darin, dass die Steuereinrichtung bei Feststellung eines sich in der verbotenen Fahrtrichtung bewegenden Fahrzeugs eine sich - in der verbotenen Fahrtrichtung gesehen - abwärts vom Detektor befindliche erste Warneinrichtung betätigt. Diese Warneinrichtung signalisiert dem sich entgegen der vorgeschriebenen Fahrtrichtung bewegenden Lenker seinen Fehler, worauf er - bis auf die Ausnahme absichtlich in die falsche Richtung fahrender Lenker - sein Fahrzeug wenden wird.The present invention seeks to solve the problems addressed or to alleviate at least by an alarm system when driving in a lane is provided with a vehicle in a forbidden direction of travel, the one on or a detector arranged in the lane to determine the presence of a moving vehicle and its direction of movement and one with the detector communicating control device comprises. The invention is that the Control device upon detection of a change in the forbidden direction of travel moving vehicle down - seen in the forbidden direction of travel the first warning device located by the detector is actuated. This warning device signals the handlebars moving against the prescribed direction of travel his mistake, whereupon he intentionally went in the wrong direction - except for the exception driving driver - his vehicle will turn.
Falls das betreffende Fahrzeug weiter in der verbotenen Fahrtrichtung bewegt wird, da der Lenker das erste Warnsignal ignoriert, ist es zweckmäßig, wenn - in der verbotenen Fahrtrichtung gesehen - abwärts von der ersten Warneinrichtung ein zweiter an oder in der Fahrspur angeordneter Detektor zur Ermittlung des Vorhandenseins eines bewegten Fahrzeugs und seiner Bewegungsrichtung angeordnet ist, wobei der Detektor mit der Steuereinrichtung kommuniziert, und abwärts vom zweiten Detektor eine zweite Warneinrichtung vorgesehen ist, wobei die Steuereinrichtung bei Feststellung eines den zweiten Detektor in der verbotenen Fahrtrichtung passierenden Fahrzeugs die zweite Warneinrichtung betätigt. Somit kann noch einmal versucht werden, den "Geisterfahrer" durch Ampeln oder Signaltafeln zum Anhalten und Umkehren zu veranlassen.If the vehicle in question is moved further in the forbidden direction, because the driver ignores the first warning signal, it is useful if - in the prohibited Seen the direction of travel - a second on or in downwards from the first warning device the lane arranged detector for determining the presence of a moving Vehicle and its direction of movement is arranged, the detector with the Control device communicates, and a second downstream of the second detector Warning device is provided, the control device upon detection of a second detector in the forbidden direction of passing vehicle the second Warning device actuated. So you can try again "Ghost drivers" through traffic lights or signal boards to stop and turn around cause.
In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform umfasst der oder die Detektoren jeweils zumindest zwei hintereinander angeordnete Induktionsschleifen, die in der Fahrbahn montiert sind.In a preferred embodiment, the detector or detectors each comprise at least two induction loops arranged one behind the other in the roadway are mounted.
Die Warneinrichtungen umfassen bevorzugt Ampeln, Blinklichter und/oder Signaltafeln.The warning devices preferably comprise traffic lights, flashing lights and / or signal boards.
Die Steuereinrichtung der erfindungsgemäßen Anlage kann um weitere wichtige Merkmale ergänzt werden. Dazu zählen Einrichtungen zur bildmäßigen Erfassung des sich in verbotener Fahrtrichtung bewegenden Fahrzeugs, wie z.B. Fotoapparate und Videokameras; eine Datenfernübertragungsschnittstelle, wie z.B. ein Modem, um die ermittelten Bilddaten an eine Polizeistation zu senden, ein Telekommunikationsanschluss, um die Anlage an bestehende Telekommunikationsnetze anzuschließen und sie dadurch z.B. aus der Ferne warten zu können, und eine Einrichtung zur Funkübertragung von Steuersignalen an entfernte Warneinrichtungen, mit der sich in der vorgeschriebenen Richtung bewegende Fahrzeuglenker gewarnt werden können. Beispielsweise könnten solche Warneinrichtungen ein oder zwei Kilometer vor Autobahnabfahrten angebracht werden, die mit der erfindungsgemäßen Anlage überwacht werden.The control device of the system according to the invention can be further important Features are added. These include facilities for the pictorial recording of the vehicles moving in the prohibited direction, e.g. Cameras and Video cameras; a remote data transmission interface, e.g. a modem to the to send determined image data to a police station Telecommunications connection to the facility to existing Connect telecommunication networks and thereby e.g. waiting from afar can, and a device for radio transmission of control signals to remote Warning devices with which moving in the prescribed direction Vehicle drivers can be warned. For example, such Warning devices are installed one or two kilometers before motorway exits, which are monitored with the system according to the invention.
Die vorliegende Erfindung bietet aber auch für jene Fälle eine Lösung, bei denen die "Geisterfahrer" weder auf das erste noch auf das zweite Warnsignal reagieren. In diesem Fall muss man davon ausgehen, dass die Lenker entweder absichtlich in verbotener Richtung fahren oder verwirrt sind. Daher ist es erforderlich, die Fahrzeuge zwangsweise zu stoppen. Dies erfolgt erfindungsgemäß, indem entlang der überwachten Fahrbahn eine von der Steuereinrichtung betätigbare Vorrichtung zur Verhinderung des Befahrens der Fahrbahn in der verbotenen Fahrtrichtung vorgesehen ist, die eine Vielzahl von parallel zueinander, quer zur Fahrbahn und um ihre Längsachse drehbar angeordnete Walzen umfasst, wobei die Walzen durch die Steuereinrichtung zwischen einem frei drehbaren Zustand und einem nicht drehbaren Zustand umschaltbar sind. Im normalen Betriebszustand befinden sich die Walzen in einem nicht drehbaren Zustand, so dass sie von Fahrzeugen anstandslos überfahren werden können. Um einen "Geisterfahrer" zu stoppen, werden die Walzen in ihren frei drehbaren Zustand geschaltet, so dass von den Reifen des in die verkehrte Richtung fahrenden Fahrzeugs ausgeübte Antriebskräfte nur die Walzen in Drehbewegung versetzen, aber nicht das Fahrzeug beschleunigen können.However, the present invention also offers a solution for those cases in which the "Ghost drivers" react neither to the first nor to the second warning signal. In In this case, one has to assume that the handlebars are either intentionally in drive in a prohibited direction or are confused. Therefore, it is necessary to use the vehicles to stop compulsively. This is done according to the invention by along the monitored roadway a device actuated by the control device Prevention of driving on the road in the forbidden direction of travel is provided is a variety of parallel to each other, across the lane and around their Includes rollers rotatably arranged longitudinal axis, the rollers through the Control device between a freely rotatable state and a non-rotatable State are switchable. In the normal operating state, the rollers are in a non-rotatable condition so that vehicles can run over them without any problems can be. To stop a "ghost driver", the reels are released in theirs rotated state, so that from the tire's in the wrong direction driving force exerted driving forces only the rollers in rotary motion move but cannot accelerate the vehicle.
Eine zweckmäßige Lagerung der Walzen umfasst vor- und zurückbewegliche Lager, die vorzugsweise elektrisch oder hydraulisch betätigbar sind. Appropriate storage of the rollers includes back and forth movable bearings are preferably operated electrically or hydraulically.
Sollte selbst diese Maßnahme nicht ausreichend sein, um das Fahrzeug innerhalb einer vorbestimmten Strecke zum Anhalten zu bringen, so kann erfindungsgemäß die Anlage im Bereich der Walzen durch einen Bremsschranken, der in die Fahrbahn ausfahrbar ist, ergänzt werden. Dies stellt natürlich die "ultima ratio" dar, ist aber im Hinblick auf die Gefährdung anderer Teilnehmer durch den "Geisterfahrer" gerechtfertigt. Um das in der verbotenen Richtung fahrende Fahrzeug beim Aufprall an den Bremsschranken nicht allzu stark zu beschädigen, kann dieser Bremsschranken gepolstert oder mit Airbags versehen sein. Alternativ oder ergänzend dazu ist erfindungsgemäß der Bremsschranken entlang der Fahrbahn beweglich, so dass er sich zunächst mit dem anzuhaltenden Fahrzeug mitbewegt und durch stetig erhöhte Verzögerungskräfte schließlich zum Stoppen des Fahrzeugs führt. Die Verzögerungskräfte, gegebenenfalls aber auch das Beschleunigen des Bremsschrankens auf eine dem anzuhaltenden Fahrzeug entsprechende Geschwindigkeit (um eine sanfte Erstberührung zwischen Schranken und Fahrzeug zu ermöglichen) erfolgt erfindungsgemäß motorgetrieben und geschwindigkeitsgesteuert.Even this measure should not be sufficient to drive the vehicle within a Bring predetermined distance to stop, the system can according to the invention in the area of the rollers by a brake barrier that can be extended into the road, can be added. This is of course the "ultima ratio", but is with regard to the Threats to other participants justified by the "ghost driver". To do that in the Prohibited direction of moving vehicle in the event of an impact with the brake barriers To damage too much, this brake barrier can be padded or with airbags be provided. According to the invention, the braking barrier is an alternative or a supplement Movable along the lane so that it first stops with the one to be stopped Vehicle moved and finally to steadily increasing deceleration forces Stopping the vehicle leads. The delay forces, but possibly also that Accelerate the brake barrier on the vehicle to be stopped appropriate speed (around a gentle first touch between barriers and To enable vehicle) takes place according to the invention motor-driven and speed controlled.
Die Erfindung wird nun anhand von Ausführungsbeispielen unter Bezugnahme auf die Zeichnungen näher erläutert. In den Zeichnungen zeigen Fig. 1 symbolisch ein Schema der Erfindung, Fig. 2 eine in eine Autobahnabfahrt eingebaute erfindungsgemäße Anlage in Draufsicht, und Fig. 3 ein Detail der Anlage von Fig. 2 in der Perspektive.The invention will now be described using exemplary embodiments with reference to the Drawings explained in more detail. In the drawings, Fig. 1 symbolically shows a scheme the invention, FIG. 2 shows a system according to the invention installed in a motorway exit in plan view, and Fig. 3 shows a detail of the system of Fig. 2 in perspective.
Zunächst auf Fig. 1 der erfindungsgemäßen Anlage zur Alarmierung bei Befahren einer
Fahrspur mit einem Fahrzeug in einer verbotenen Fahrtrichtung Bezug nehmend,
umfasst diese zwei Induktionsschleifen 1, 2, die in einer Fahrspur 10 einer
Autobahnabfahrt angeordnet sind. Die Induktionsschleifen 1, 2 bilden gemeinsam einen
Detektor zur Ermittlung des Vorhandenseins eines bewegten Fahrzeugs und seiner
Bewegungsrichtung, dessen Ausgangssignale von einer damit kommunizierenden
Steuereinrichtung 5 ausgewertet werden. Stellt die Steuereinrichtung 5 ein sich in der
verbotenen Fahrtrichtung bewegendes Fahrzeug fest, d.h. in diesem Fall ein Fahrzeug,
das sich auf der Autobahnabfahrt 10 auf die Autobahn 11 zu bewegt und somit zuerst
die Induktionsschleife 1 und dann die Induktionsschleife 2 überfährt, so aktiviert die
Steuereinrichtung 5 eine erste Warneinrichtung Alarm 1 (Bezugszeichen 7), die
beidseits der Fahrspur 10 angeordnet ist. Die Warneinrichtung 7 dient dazu, den Lenker
des sich in der verbotenen Richtung bewegenden Fahrzeugs zum Umkehren zu
veranlassen. Die Warneinrichtung 7 umfasst eine Blinklichtanlage und/oder Signaltafeln.First of all referring to FIG. 1 of the system according to the invention for alarming when a vehicle is traveling in a lane in a prohibited direction of travel, it comprises two
Falls der Lenker des betroffenen Fahrzeugs diesen Alarm ignoriert und sich weiterhin
auf die Autobahn 11 zubewegt, so passiert das Fahrzeug wenig später
Induktionsschleifen 3, 4, die gemeinsam einen zweiten Detektor zur Ermittlung des
Vorhandenseins eines bewegten Fahrzeugs und seiner Bewegungsrichtung bilden,
wobei die Induktionsschleifen 3, 4 mit der Steuereinrichtung 5 kommunizieren. Stellt
die Steuereinrichtung 5 das sich in der verbotenen Fahrtrichtung bewegende Fahrzeug
fest (indem sie erkennt, dass das Fahrzeug zuerst die Induktionsschleife 3 und dann die
Induktionsschleife 4 überfährt), so aktiviert sie eine zweite Warneinrichtung Alarm 2
(Bezugszeichen 8), die beidseits der Fahrspur 10 angeordnet ist. Mit der
Warneinrichtung 8 wird der "Geisterfahrer" ein weiteres Mal zum Umkehren
aufgefordert. Die Warneinrichtung 8 umfasst eine Blinklichtanlage und/oder
Signaltafeln. Gleichzeitig werden vom Steuergerät 5 sich an der Autobahn 11 in einigen
Kilometern vor der betroffenen Autobahnabfahrt befindliche Warneinrichtungen FUNK
(Bezugszeichen 9) aktiviert, die die Autofahrer auf der Autobahn auf den Geisterfahrer
aufmerksam machen und zu defensivem Fahren oder Anhalten veranlassen. Zusätzlich
wird das in der verbotenen Richtung fahrende Fahrzeug von einer digitalen Kamera 6
erfasst und die Bilddaten zusammen mit Standortinformationen vom Steuergerät 5 per
Datenfernübertragung an eine Polizeidienststelle übermittelt.If the driver of the vehicle concerned ignores this alarm and continues to move towards the
In weiterer Folge wird nun vom Steuergerät 5 die in Fig. 2 dargestellte Vorrichtung zur
Verhinderung des Befahrens der Fahrbahn 10 in der verbotenen Fahrtrichtung aktiviert,
die eine Vielzahl von parallel zueinander, quer zur Fahrbahn und um ihre Längsachse
drehbar angeordnete Walzen 14 umfasst, wobei die Walzen 14 durch die
Steuereinrichtung von einem nicht drehbaren normalen Betriebszustand in einen frei
drehbaren Zustand geschaltet werden, in dem die Antriebskräfte der Reifen eines sich in
die verbotene Richtung bewegenden Fahrzeugs 13 wirkungslos bleiben, da durch die
freilaufenden Walzen keine Traktion übertragbar ist. Wie aus Fig. 2 erkennbar, ist die
Fahrbahn 10 durch Betonseitenwände 12 in zwei etwa 3 m breite Fahrspuren unterteilt,
wobei sich die Walzen 14 jeweils über die gesamte Breite einer jeweiligen Fahrspur
erstrecken.Subsequently, the device 5 shown in FIG
Prevention of driving on the
In Fig. 3 ist in der Perspektive eine mögliche Ausführungsform zum Umschalten der
Walzen 14 zwischen einem frei drehbaren und einem nicht drehbaren Zustand zu
sehen. Die Walzen ruhen dabei axial drehbar in Lagerböcken 15 an ihren Enden.
Zusätzlich sind entlang der Länge der Walzen Auflager 17 vorgesehen, die einen Teil
des Umfangs der Walzen 14 in Reibungsschluss umgreifen können. Die Auflager 17
ruhen in Trägern 16 und sind elektrisch oder hydraulisch zwischen einer ausgefahrenen
Position, in der sie in Reibungsschluss mit den Walzen 14 stehen, und einer
zurückgezogenen Position, in der sie von den Walzen 14 beabstandet sind, beweglich,
wie durch einen Doppelpfeil dargestellt. Das Steuergerät steuert dabei die Stellung der
Auflager 17.In Fig. 3 is a possible embodiment for switching the
Da damit gerechnet werden muss, dass sich durch die freilaufenden Walzen 14 allein
das betroffene Fahrzeug nicht sicher zum Stehen bringen lässt, ist weiters im Bereich
der Walzen 14 ein Bremsschranken 18 vorgesehen, der aus einer Betonseitenwand 12
in die Fahrspur ausfahrbar ist. Der Bremsschranken 18 kann aber auch von einer
torförmigen Konstruktion, durch die die Kfz hindurchfahren können, in der Art eines
Fallbeils heruntergelassen werden. Um das in der verbotenen Richtung fahrende
Fahrzeug beim Aufprall an den Bremsschranken 18 nicht allzu stark zu beschädigen,
kann dieser Bremsschranken gepolstert oder mit Airbags versehen sein. Weiters ist der
Bremsschranken 18 entlang der Fahrspur beweglich, so dass er zunächst motorisch auf
die Momentangeschwindigkeit des anzuhaltenden Fahrzeug gebracht wird, um eine
sanfte Erstberührung zwischen Schranken 18 und Fahrzeug zu ermöglichen, und dann
mit dem Fahrzeug mitbewegt und dabei stetig erhöhten Verzögerungskräften ausgesetzt
wird, die schließlich zum Stoppen des Fahrzeugs führen.Since it must be expected that the free-running
