Description

Bekannt ist, daß der Bremsvorgang der Fahrzeuge zwar durch die Bremsrückleuchten dem, durch Aufblinken eines Lichtes konstanter Frequenz, Rückfahrer mitgeteilt wird, ihm jedoch nicht mitteilt wie stark das Fahrzeug abgebremst werden muß. Der Rückfahrer kann überrascht werden durch einen manchmal starken Bremsvorgang seines Vorfahrers. So kommt es häufig zu den sogenannten Auffahrunfällen.It is known that the braking process of the vehicles through Brake taillights, by flashing a light of constant frequency, Return driver is informed, but does not tell him how strong the vehicle must be braked. The return driver can be surprised by one sometimes his ancestor's hard braking. This is how it often happens so-called rear-end collisions.

Die hier vorgestellte Idee soll dazu führen, daß der Rückfahrer die Bremsintensität seines Vorfahrers wahrnehmen kann und entsprechend reagieren kann, damit die Anzahl der Auffahrunfälle reduziert wird.The idea presented here should lead to the fact that the reverse driver the braking intensity can perceive its ancestor and react accordingly so that the Number of rear-end collisions is reduced.

Die Idee beruht darauf, daß die Fahrzeugbremsrückleuchte nicht nur einen Brems- Lichtwert anzeigt, sondern es andere Möglichkeiten gibt, den Rückfahrer über den Bremsvorgang zu informieren. Die Leuchtvorrichtung kann aus einer zusätzlichen Bremsleuchte oder in die bisherige Bremsleuchte integriert sein.The idea is based on the fact that the vehicle brake taillight is not just a brake Indicates light value, but there are other ways to get the return driver over the Inform braking process. The lighting device can consist of an additional Brake light or be integrated into the previous brake light.

Für die weitere Ausgestaltung der Erfindung kann die Bremsrückleuchte das besonders starke Bremsen folgendermaßen anzeigen.
For the further embodiment of the invention, the brake rear light can indicate the particularly strong braking as follows.

  • 1. Der Bremsvorgang strahlt nicht gleichmäßig, sondern umso heller (oder dunkler), je stärker der Bremsvorgang ist.1. The braking process does not shine evenly, but the brighter (or darker), the stronger the braking process.
  • 2. Die Stärke des Bremsvorganges wird durch eine Farbenlichtleiste angezeigt.2. The intensity of the braking process is indicated by a colored light bar.
  • 3. Die Bremsleuchte strahlt umso warnendere Farben (z. B. von gelb bis dunkelrot), je stärker der Bremsvorgang ist.3. The brake light shines all the more warning colors (eg from yellow to dark red), the stronger the braking process.
  • 4. Die Bremsleuchte leuchtet nicht gleichförmig, sondern blinkt mit so höherer Frequenz, je stärker der Bremsvorgang ist. Dabei bleibt die höchste angewendete Frequenz deutlich unter dem Übergang zum Eindruck eines kontinuierlichen Lichts.4. The brake light does not light up uniformly, but flashes with a higher one Frequency, the stronger the braking process. The highest applied remains Frequency well below the transition to the impression of a continuous light.
  • 5. Die Bremsleuchte strahlt in unterschiedlichen geometrischen Formen, welche dem Grad des Bremsvorgangs direkt assoziiert werden, z. B. leuchtet die Bremsleuchte zu Beginn des Bremsvorgang es in üblicher oval er Form, bei starkem Bremsen leuchtet sie als Warndreieck, bzw. leuchtet das Warndreieck innerhalb der ovalen Leuchtform auf, z. B. als blinkendes Warndreieck.5. The brake light shines in different geometric shapes, which be directly associated with the degree of braking, e.g. B. lights up Brake light at the beginning of the braking process it in the usual oval shape, with strong Brakes it lights up as a warning triangle, or the warning triangle lights up within the oval shape, e.g. B. as a flashing warning triangle.

Im Rahmen der Erdindung liegt, daß bei starkem Bremsen die eingebauten Warnblinklichter automatisch eingeschaltet und wieder abgeschaltet werden.Within the scope of the earth connection is that the built-in braking Hazard warning lights are automatically switched on and off again.
