Definitions
- the utility model relates to the field of traffic management, and in particular to devices for vehicles that provide alerts to road users and can be used to improve the safety of road users in the area of unregulated pedestrian crossings.
- a device is known “Automotive safety signal mounted in front of the car and controlled by a switch on the dashboard” (German Patent for the invention DE2736430, published 04.01.1979).
- the signal allows you to notify the pedestrian about the possibility of a safe crossing of the road.
- a repeating signal can also be installed at the rear of the vehicle to alert an approaching vehicle of a stop of the first vehicle for pedestrian entry.
- the back signal may blink.
- the signal can be made in the form of warning symbols or words.
- the device does not provide sufficient safety for road users, as it requires the pedestrian to detect the pedestrian driver in advance and take additional steps to alert the pedestrian and the vehicle approaching from behind.
- the device does not provide sufficient safety, since pedestrian safety depends on the timely response of the vehicle driver after they are visually detected, in addition, the pedestrian visual warning device always works when the driver applies a sufficient level of braking, even when there are no pedestrians in front of the vehicle, resulting in such a light alarms can distract other road users and further reduce road safety.
- the prototype device contains: a receiver, means of sound and visual warning of the driver of the vehicle and the control unit in the form of a microprocessor.
- the prototype device operates as follows.
- the receiver provides the reception of a signal about the vehicle in the pedestrian crossing zone from the transmitters of the elements of the transport infrastructure.
- the control unit includes means for audible and visual warning of the vehicle driver. A driver who is notified of being in a pedestrian crossing area has the opportunity to respond in a timely manner and apply braking to pass a pedestrian at the crossing.
- the device does not provide sufficient safety for road users due to the fact that the driver’s warning equipment does not guarantee that they will use braking to pass the pedestrian, and the pedestrian may start crossing in front of an approaching vehicle without being able to reliably determine whether his driver has noticed an approaching vehicle and is applying whether it is braking to pass the pedestrian.
- the main objective of the claimed utility model is to increase the safety of road users.
- the objective of the utility model is solved due to the fact that the device, together with the notification of the driver about the vehicle in the pedestrian crossing area, also allows you to notify the pedestrian or other road users who are at the pedestrian crossing or in the area in front of the vehicle about the application of braking by the driver. And besides this, due to the fact that the device provides the ability to turn on visual pedestrian warning only in the pedestrian crossing zone, while outside the pedestrian crossing zone, the pedestrian warning device does not turn on and does not create distracting factors for the participants in the movement surrounding the vehicle.
- the device for improving the safety of road users intended for installation on a vehicle, contains a receiver that provides a signal for the vehicle to be in the pedestrian crossing area, sound and visual warning means for the driver of the vehicle, a control unit , providing the inclusion of sound and visual alerts of the driver of the vehicle when the receiver receives a signal on walking a vehicle in a pedestrian crossing, according to a utility model, supplemented by a means of visual warning pedestrians intended for installation facing forward in the direction of travel of the vehicle in the visibility of pedestrians, and a communication unit with a vehicle braking system, the receiver and a communication unit with a vehicle braking system are connected to the inputs of the control unit, and the driver’s visual and audible warning devices, as well as the pedestrian visual warning device, are connected to the outputs of the control unit, which serves to turn on the visual means pedestrian alerts while receiving a signal from the receiver that the vehicle is in the crosswalk zone and from the communication unit with the system
- the pedestrian visual alert means may be configured to display the word “PASS” when it is turned on, and the word may be made in large, easily readable font. This will increase the safety of road users by providing a significant simplification of the pedestrian's perception of information, as it intuitively tells the pedestrian about the possibility of making a safe crossing in front of the vehicle when the driver applies braking in the pedestrian crossing area.
- Means of visual pedestrian warning may be an information board, configured to display text and graphic information.
- the pedestrian visual alert may include LEDs.
- it can be made in the form of LED displays with the ability to display static information or dynamic, for example, in the form of a running line.
- Means of visual warning pedestrians can be made in the form of a liquid crystal display.
- the means of sound notification of the driver when it is turned on by the control unit can provide the reproduction of an audio signal, and in a particular case, the implementation of a useful model of an audio or voice message previously recorded in the memory of the control unit.
- the receiver can provide signal reception from transmitters of elements of the transport infrastructure, which include traffic lights, stationary ground, suspension or other road signs, elements on buildings, elements on mobile road complexes and devices, elements on lighting devices, etc.
- elements of the transport infrastructure which include traffic lights, stationary ground, suspension or other road signs, elements on buildings, elements on mobile road complexes and devices, elements on lighting devices, etc.
- Elements of transport infrastructure also mean elements of a communications system and objects of urban and external passenger and cargo transport, including the road network, lines and facilities of off-street transport, passenger service facilities, cargo handling facilities, objects of permanent and temporary storage and maintenance of vehicles (communication lines, technical facilities, freight and passenger railway stations and stations, ticket agencies and transportation organizations, logistics centers, warehouses, utilities, communications, etc.).
- the transmitters of the elements of the transport infrastructure in the area of pedestrian crossings with operable traffic lights at road intersections or regulated pedestrian crossings can be turned off, since they provide a sufficient level of security. And the transmitters of the elements of the transport infrastructure in the zone of pedestrian crossings with inoperative traffic lights at road intersections or unregulated pedestrian crossings can be switched on continuously, which will allow putting the proposed device into operation and thereby increasing the safety of road users.
- the receiver may provide signal reception from a device providing navigation of the vehicle. This will ensure increased safety for road users even if there are no transmitters on the elements of the transport infrastructure due to the transmission by the navigation device of a signal indicating that the vehicle is in the pedestrian crossing at the determined coordinates of the vehicle and coordinate areas in the pedestrian crossing, and data on the coordinate area corresponding to the pedestrian crossing area, can be preloaded into the navigation device or loaded into the navigation device a automatically using wireless network access, such as the Internet, when updating data in the area around the current coordinates of the vehicle.
- wireless network access such as the Internet
- the device providing navigation of the vehicle may be a smartphone.
- the widespread use of smartphones containing navigation tools, as well as the reception and transmission of signals and data, will ensure the operability of the proposed device in almost any place where traffic is organized, which will also help improve the safety of road users.
- the communication unit with the vehicle braking system can be implemented as an input connected to the device control unit and designed to transmit a signal to him about the application of the driver of the vehicle braking.
- the device according to the utility model is intended for installation in the cab or passenger compartment of a vehicle behind its windshield.
- the power source for the device is the vehicle’s on-board electrical network, for connecting to which the device can have connectors, terminals or contacts.
- the area in which the transmitter signal is transmitted and received by the receiver of the device, or the area in which the signal is transmitted from the device providing navigation of the vehicle, and its reception by the device, can be from 50 to 150 meters to the pedestrian crossing, or another distance, providing sufficient time for the driver to approach the vehicle to the pedestrian crossing at the maximum permissible speed on the corresponding section of the road.
- the receiver can be made to receive radio frequency signals and / or sonars, ultrasound, infrared, laser, etc., similar to those used in radars, control panels, car park sensors and other equipment.
- FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a device
- FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 are embodiments of placing the device on various vehicles
- FIG. 4 is a schematic illustration of a road section with elements of a transport infrastructure on which transmitters are installed.
- the device as shown in FIG. 1, comprises a receiver, means for audible and visual warning of a vehicle driver, a control unit, a pedestrian warning device, a communication unit with a vehicle braking system.
- the device is installed in the passenger compartment behind the windshield, so that the pedestrian warning device that displays the word “PASS” when it is turned on is facing forward in the direction of the car’s movement and in the visibility range of pedestrians, as shown in one of the figures (Fig. 2 or Fig. 3), the device is also connected to the vehicle’s onboard power supply and through the communication unit with the system braking to its braking system, which includes a visual warning system for the cars at the rear of the application of braking by the driver, by connecting the vehicle's brake lights to the power wiring.
- the transmitter signal is received by the device’s receiver, the signal from the receiver enters the device’s control unit, which enables visual and sound means of warning the driver about the vehicle 5 in the area of the pedestrian crossing 4.
- the transmitters 1, 2, 3 can provide signal transmission in the area, extending the distance from 50 to 150 meters to the pedestrian crossing 4, depending on traffic conditions for a given section of the road.
- the car 5 When passing the pedestrian crossing 4, the car 5 leaves the coverage area of the transmitter 1 and the pedestrian crossing zone, as a result of which the device’s receiver stops receiving the transmitter signal, the control unit stops the visual and sound warning devices and the inclusion of visual warning pedestrians when the driver uses the car braking. Thereby, safety is additionally enhanced by eliminating the effect of visual pedestrian warning, as an additional factor distracting road users, outside the pedestrian crossing zone.
- the use of the claimed device will significantly improve the safety of road users, especially at unregulated pedestrian crossings and at pedestrian crossings with faulty traffic lights by notifying the driver about the vehicle in the pedestrian crossing area for acceptance by the driver of timely actions to prevent traffic accidents, and by the pedestrian or other road users in the area in front of the vehicle - on the application of the driver of the vehicle's braking, and therefore his intention to skip the pedestrian or give way to other road users.
- An additional advantage of the proposed device should include an increased service life, in particular due to the fact that the pedestrian warning device does not work continuously, but only when the vehicle with the device is in the pedestrian crossing zone, in which the receiver of the device receives a transmitter signal on the elements of the transport infrastructure, and the driver of the vehicle applies braking.
