Abstract

The traffic control system is for replacement or augmentation of the existing horizontal and vertical road marking, without having the disadvantage of being obstructed by fog, heavy rain, or snow. The system contain two control points which maintain the correct travel direction and which trigger a warning alarm if an incorrect lane is entered. The correct direction is maintained by optical and/or mechanical and/or acoustic elements. These elements may be provided on one or several points of the roadway. The warning alarm is pref. triggered automatically and at such a distance as to prevent entering into a wrong lane. The triggering of the warning alarm may be simultaneously transmitted to monitoring stations. The alarm triggering may also initiate the warning signs along the route in question.

Description

1ar'nanIage' bei falscher Fahrtrichtung 1ar'nanIage 'if the direction of travel is wrong

In letzter Zeit mehren sich die Fälle, dass die Autobahnen in falscher Richtung befahren werden und damit eine große Gefahr für Andere Verkehrsteilnehmer auslösen.Lately there are increasing cases that the highways are in the wrong direction Direction and thus a great danger for other road users trigger.

Dieses Fahrverhalten von Autofahrern versucht man neuerdings durch Richtungspfeile auf der Fahrbahn oder durch Verbotsschilder zu verhindern. Diese Maßnahmen haben aber nur teilweise Erfolg, denn bei schlechter Sicht, Schnee oder sonstigen witterungsmäßig nicht günstigen Verhältnissen verlieren sie ihre Wirkung.This driving behavior of motorists has been tried recently To prevent direction arrows on the road or by prohibition signs. These Measures are only partially successful, because in poor visibility, snow or They lose their effect in other weather conditions that are not favorable.

Diese vorerwähnten Nachteile werden erfindungsgemäß durch eine Alarmanlage, die optisch und / oder akustisch und / oder mechanisch in Tätigkeit gesetzt wird, sobald das Auto in falscher Richtung auf die Autobahn zugesteuert wird.These disadvantages mentioned above are alleviated according to the invention by an alarm system, which is activated optically and / or acoustically and / or mechanically, as soon as the car is approaching the motorway in the wrong direction.

Diese erfindungsgemäße Anlage warnt optisch und/oder akustisch und/ oder mechanisch den Fahrer, bevor er auf die falsche Spur der Autobahn auffährt. Sie warnt ihn und macht ihn darauf aufmerksam, dass er die falsche Fahrtrichtung einschlägt.This system according to the invention warns optically and / or acoustically and / or mechanically the driver before he enters the wrong lane of the motorway. She warns him and makes him aware that he is heading in the wrong direction hits.

In der Zeichnung ist schematisch die Erfindung für eine Autobahnabfahrt dargestellt. Sinngemäß gilt diese Lösung natürlich auch für alle anderen Auf-und Abfahrten wie beispielsweise von Parkplätzen, von Raststätten usw.In the drawing, the invention for a motorway exit is schematically shown. This solution naturally also applies analogously to all other ups and downs Departures such as from parking lots, rest stops, etc.

Fährt ein Auto (5) über die Ausfahrt (Au) gegen die Fahrtrichtung (4 in Richtung der Autobahnspur Al (also gegen die Fahrtrichtung), dann muß das Auto dabei zuerst den Kontrollpunkt (1) und danach den Kontr punkt (2) passieren. Durch die zeitliche Reihenfolge von Punkt (1) zu Punkt (2) erkennt die Alarmanlage die falsche Fahrtrichtung des Fahrzeuges. Sie löst damit eine Warnanlage (3) aus, die dann vor Einbiegen auf die falsche Fahrspur optisch oder / und akustisch und/ oder mechanisch alarmiert, dass er dabei ist, auf die falsche Spur der Autobahn zu fahren. Für die Kontrollpunkte (1) und (2) können handelsübliche Lichtschranken oder / und Radarstrahlen oder / und Druckschranken oder / und elektrische Kontaktgeber oder / und Fahrtwindregistrierer oder / und akustische Geräte oder / und andere Gerä die beim Vorbeifahren eines Autos dessen Fahrtrichtung registrieren können, verwendet werden.If a car (5) drives against the direction of travel via the exit (Au) (4 in the direction of the A1 motorway lane (i.e. against the direction of travel), then you have to Car first pass the control point (1) and then the control point (2). The alarm system recognizes the time sequence from point (1) to point (2) the wrong direction of travel of the vehicle. It triggers a warning system (3), which then optically and / or acoustically and / or mechanically alarmed that he is about to get into the wrong lane of the autobahn to drive. Commercially available light barriers can be used for the control points (1) and (2) and / or radar beams and / or pressure barriers and / or electrical contactors and / and head wind registerers and / or acoustic devices and / or others Devices that can register the direction of travel when a car drives by, be used.

Es kann auch die Kontrolle der Fahrtrichtung nur an einer oder auch an mehr als 2 Stellen erfolgen.It can also control the direction of travel on only one or also take place in more than 2 places.

Bei der Warnanlage (3) können zum Einsatz kommen, optische Zeichen, beispielsweise ein rotes Licht wie bei Ampeln schon gebräuchlich, od beispielsweise eine Sirene als akustisches Zeichen oder auch beispie weise als mechanische Sperre eine Schranke, die im Warnfall herunter klappt. Auch andere Arten der Warnung, die den Fahrer vor Auffahrt a die Bahn zum Stoppen veranlaßt, sind anwendbar.With the warning system (3), optical signs, for example a red light as is already common with traffic lights, od for example a siren as an acoustic signal or, for example, as a mechanical lock a barrier that folds down in the event of a warning. Also other types of warning that causes the driver to stop the train before ramp a are applicable.

Gleichzeitig können mit Einschaltung der Warnanlage oder auch bei Überfahrt dieser Anlage die zuständigen Stellen automatisch verständigt werden. Auch wäre eine Kopplung von Alarmzeichen entlang des gefährdeten Straßenabschnittes möglich, die bei Gefahr die Fahrer vorwarnen.At the same time, with the activation of the warning system or also with The responsible authorities are automatically notified when this system is passed. There would also be a coupling of alarm signals along the endangered section of the road possible, which warn the driver in case of danger.
