Description
Stand der TechnikState of the art
Motorräder sind Bestandteile des alltäglichen Straßenverkehrs. Durch die kleinere Größe und andere Fahrstile sind Motorrädern einem erhöhten Unfallrisiko infolge menschlicher Unachtsamkeit ausgesetzt und können relativ leicht übersehen werden.Motorcycles are part of everyday road traffic. Due to the smaller size and other driving styles, motorcycles are exposed to an increased risk of accidents as a result of human negligence and can be overlooked relatively easily.
Aus der
Offenbarung der ErfindungDisclosure of the invention
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zur Warnung des Fahrers eines ersten Kraftfahrzeugs vor einem herannahenden bzw. sich auf das erste Fahrzeug zubewegenden zweiten Kraftfahrzeug, bei dem
- - mittels am ersten Kraftfahrzeug befindlicher Empfangsmittel Signale empfangen werden,
- - anhand einer Auswertung der Signale festgestellt wird, ob diese von einem zweiten Kraftfahrzeug stammen und
- - für den Fall, dass die Signale von einem herannahenden bzw. sich auf das erste Fahrzeug zubewegenden zweiten Kraftfahrzeug stammen, eine Warninformation an den Fahrer abgegeben wird.
- receive signals by means of the first motor vehicle receiving means,
- - Based on an evaluation of the signals is determined whether they come from a second motor vehicle and
- - In the event that the signals come from an approaching or on the first vehicle zubewegenden second motor vehicle, a warning information is delivered to the driver.
Damit wird der Fahrer auf in der Nähe befindliche weitere Fahrzeuge aufmerksam gemacht und die Wahrscheinlichkeit einer Kollision infolge eines abgelenkten oder unaufmerksamen Fahrers verringert.This alerts the driver to nearby vehicles and reduces the likelihood of a collision due to a distracted or inattentive driver.
Eine vorteilhafte Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass das erste Kraftfahrzeug wenigstens vier Empfangsmittel umfasst, von denen jeweils eines an der Vorderseite, der Rückseite, der linken Seite und der rechten Seite des ersten Kraftfahrzeugs angeordnet ist.An advantageous embodiment of the invention is characterized in that the first motor vehicle comprises at least four receiving means, one of which is arranged at the front, the back, the left side and the right side of the first motor vehicle.
Eine vorteilhafte Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass es sich bei den Empfangsmitteln um Ultraschallempfänger handelt. Die Ultraschalltechnik ist für den Nahbereich besonders geeignet und bei der beschriebenen Anwendung ist eine Erfassung von weit entfernten zweiten Kraftfahrzeugen nicht notwendig und sinnvoll.An advantageous embodiment of the invention is characterized in that the receiving means are ultrasonic receivers. The ultrasound technique is particularly suitable for close range and in the application described a detection of distant second motor vehicles is not necessary and useful.
Eine vorteilhafte Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass die Ultraschallempfänger zugleich im Rahmen einer Einparkassistenzfunktion verwendet werden. Indem auf eine in modernen Kraftfahrzeugen zumeist ohnehin vorhandene Einparkassistenzsensorik zurückgegriffen wird, kann die vorliegende Erfindung besonders kostengünstig realisiert werden.An advantageous embodiment of the invention is characterized in that the ultrasonic receivers are used at the same time as part of a Einparkassistenzfunktion. By relying on a parking assist sensor, which is usually present in any case in modern motor vehicles, the present invention can be realized in a particularly cost-effective manner.
Eine vorteilhafte Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist dadurch gekennzeichnet dass die Signale von einem an der Vorderseite des zweiten Kraftfahrzeugs angebrachten Sender ausgesandt werden. Die Vorderseite des ersten Kraftfahrzeugs weist zumindest bei höheren Geschwindigkeiten üblicherweise in dessen Fahrtrichtung so dass die Signale wie eine vorauseilende Welle vorausgesandt werden. Bei diesem Sender handelt es sich vorzugsweise um einen Ultraschallsender. Es ist vorteilhaft, dass das zweite Kraftfahrzeug die Signale nur dann aussendet, wenn es sich bewegt oder wenn seine Längsgeschwindigkeit einen Schwellenwert überschreitet.An advantageous embodiment of the invention is characterized in that the signals are emitted from a mounted on the front of the second motor vehicle transmitter. The front side of the first motor vehicle, at least at higher speeds, usually points in its direction of travel, so that the signals are forwarded as an anticipatory shaft. This transmitter is preferably an ultrasonic transmitter. It is advantageous that the second motor vehicle emits the signals only when it is moving or when its longitudinal speed exceeds a threshold value.
Eine vorteilhafte Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass es sich bei dem zweiten Kraftfahrzeug um ein einspuriges Kraftfahrzeug, insbesondere ein Motorrad, handelt. Die Anwendung der Erfindung auf einspurige Kraftfahrzeuge ist insbesondere deshalb von erhöhter Bedeutung, weil diese im Straßenverkehr relativ leicht übersehen werden können.An advantageous embodiment of the invention is characterized in that the second motor vehicle is a single-track motor vehicle, in particular a motorcycle. The application of the invention to single-track motor vehicles is therefore of particular importance, because they can be relatively easily overlooked in traffic.
Eine vorteilhafte Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass die Signale eine aufmodulierte Information enthalten, welche sie als von einem einspurigen Kraftfahrzeug ausgesandt aufweisen. Dadurch, dass die Signale von deren Sender mit einer aufmodulierten Information versehen werden, ist es im empfangenden Kraftfahrzeug leicht möglich, diese als von einem in der Nähe befindlichen Kraftfahrzeug stammend zu erkennen. Somit besteht auch keine Verwechslungsgefahr mit von im Rahmen eines Einparkvorgangs empfangenen Signalen und es findet keine Fehlauslösung der vorgesehenen Warninformation an den Fahrer statt.An advantageous embodiment of the invention is characterized in that the signals contain modulated information, which they have emitted as from a single-track motor vehicle. Characterized in that the signals are provided by the transmitter with a modulated information, it is easily possible in the receiving motor vehicle to recognize this coming as coming from a nearby motor vehicle. Thus, there is no likelihood of confusion with received in the context of a parking operation signals and there is no false triggering of the intended warning information to the driver instead.
Eine vorteilhafte Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass es sich bei der Warninformation um eine akustische, optische oder haptische Information handelt.An advantageous embodiment of the invention is characterized in that the warning information is an acoustic, optical or haptic information.
Weiter umfasst die Erfindung eine Vorrichtung, enthaltend Mittel, die speziell zur Durchführung der erfindungsgemäßen Verfahren ausgestaltet sind. Dabei handelt es sich insbesondere um ein Steuergerät, welches im empfangenden Kraftfahrzeug enthalten ist und in welchem der Programmcode der erfindungsgemäßen Verfahren hinterlegt ist.Furthermore, the invention comprises a device comprising means which are specially designed for carrying out the method according to the invention. This is in particular a control unit, which is included in the receiving motor vehicle and in which the program code of the inventive method is stored.
