Abstract

The object is to limit the speed of, typically, internal combustion engine driven vehicles to a preset value. The intention is that these settings should be determined by maximum economical speed under prescribed conditions, or maximum legal speed, for example in a built up area. The appts. operates to block the effect of further accelerator pedal pressure once the limiting speed is reached. The speed may be set from inside the vehicle by the driver. Alternatively it may be set by road side signal transmitters operating on the vehicle automatically through sensors mounted on it and connected to the appts. Typically the set speed is indicated on the outside of the vehicle typically by a signal lamp for the information of other road users.

Description

Einrichtung zur Begrenzung der Fahrgeschwindig- Device for limiting the driving speed

keit von Kraftfahrzeugen Es ist bekannt, daß der Verbrauch von Treibstoff und die Anzahl sowie die Kosten von Unfällen direkt abhängig sind von den Fahrgeschwindigkeiten der Kraftfahrzeuge. Deshalb schreibt der Gesetzgeber Höchstgeschwindigkeiten im Strassenverkehr vor. ability of motor vehicles It is known that the consumption of fuel and the number and cost of accidents are directly dependent on driving speeds of motor vehicles. That is why the legislature writes maximum speeds in the Road traffic ahead.

Es ist aber auch bekannt, daß der Erfolg dieser gesetzlichen Vorschriften in keiner Weise den enormen möglichen Einsparungen entspricht, weil die Einhaltung dieser Vorschriften nur sehr unvollkommen überwacht und durchgesetzt werden kann. But it is also known that the success of these legal regulations in no way corresponds to the huge potential savings because compliance of these regulations can only be monitored and enforced very imperfectly.

Die nachfolgend beschriebene Erfindung dient im Wesentlichen zur wirksamen Einhaltung von vorgeschriebenen Höchstgeschwindigkeiten. Die Idee kann in verechiedenen Ausbaustufen verwirklicht werden. The invention described below is essentially used for effective compliance with the prescribed maximum speeds. The idea can can be realized in different expansion stages.

Gemäß der Erfindung wird zunächst die Fahrgesohwindigkeit eines Kraftfahrzeugs gemessen und mit einem vorgegebenen Maximalwert automatisch verglichen. According to the invention, the driving speed of a motor vehicle is first measured and automatically compared with a specified maximum value.

Übertrifft der Meßwert den Masimalwert, dann wird in geeigneter Weise die Fahrgeschwindigkeit herabgesetzt, beispielsweise durch Drosselung der Treibstoff-Zufuhr zum Vergaser, Und zwar eo, daß durch verstärkte BetEtigung des Gaspedals keine Geschwindigkeitserhöhung möglich ist. If the measured value exceeds the maximum value, then in a suitable manner the driving speed is reduced, for example by throttling the fuel supply to the carburetor, namely eo that by pressing the accelerator pedal harder no increase in speed is possible.

Es ist tbertlsig, die zu wählende Methode sur Meßwerterfassung, zum Meßwert-Vergleich und zur Geechwindigkeitsdrosselung detailliert zu beschreiben. Diese Aufgabe kann durch Anwendung bereits bekannter Verfahren ohne Schwierigkeiten gelöst werden. Dabei ist allerdings zu beachten, daß aus der Vielzahl der technischen Möglichkeiten diejenige Methode gewählt wird, welche die Anforderungen an Genauigkeit, Eichfähigkeit, Betriebssicherheit, geringe Herstellkosten, leichter Einbau , eto. optimal erfüllt. It is necessary to choose the method to be used for data acquisition To describe in detail the comparison of the measured values and the speed reduction. This task can by using already known procedures without Difficulties are resolved. It should be noted, however, that from the multitude the technical possibilities, the method that meets the requirements is chosen in terms of accuracy, calibratability, operational reliability, low manufacturing costs, lighter Installation, eto. optimally fulfilled.

Die nächste Ausbaustufe der Erfindung sieht,:ror, daß wahlweise mehrere verschieden hohe Maximalwerte einstellbar sind. Beispielaweise Stufe 1 für Stadtverkehr, Stufe 2 für Landstrassen, Stufe 3 für Autobahnen. Die Einstellung erfolgt dabei durch den Fahrer mittels Schalter. In dieser Ausbaustufe ist es sinnvoll, den eingestellten Geschwindigkeitsbereich außen am Fahrzeug sichtbar zu machen, damit andere Verkehrsteinehmer ihr Verhalten darauf abstimmen können.The next stage of the invention sees: ror that optionally several different high maximum values can be set. For example level 1 for city traffic, Level 2 for country roads, level 3 for motorways. The setting is made by the driver using a switch. In this expansion stage, it makes sense to use the To make the speed range visible on the outside of the vehicle, so that other road users be able to adapt their behavior accordingly.

Bei einer weiteren Ausbaustufe werden die Maximalwerte dadurch stationäre Sender außerhalb des Fahrzeuge eingestellt, wobei gleichzeitig eventuelle Binsbil ngen des Fahrers auf eine höhere Stufe unwirksam gemacht werden. Derartige kleine Sender können an allen Ortszufahrten die Fahrgeschwindigkeit drosseln. Eret beim Verlassen der Ortschaft wird wieder eine höhere Geschwindigkeitsstufe zugelassen.In a further expansion stage, the maximum values will become stationary Transmitter set outside of the vehicle, at the same time any Binsbil the driver can be made ineffective to a higher level. Such little ones Transmitters can reduce the driving speed at all local entrances. Eret at When leaving the village, a higher speed level is permitted again.

Weitere Beispiele für den Einsatz derartiger Maximalwert-Sender: Unfallverhütung an Gefahrenstellen, Verhinderung von Uberlastungs-Staus durch frühzeitige Drosselung der Geschwindigkeiten, Sicherung von Straßenkreuzungen; Einführung von tatsächlich funktionierenden "Grünen Wellen"rch -den Einsatz von Sendern, die den Maximalwert in Abhängigkeit von der jeweiligen Verkehrslage einstellen. Dabei kann im Bedarfsfall sehr fein abgeetuft werden, um der Situation optimal -zu entsprechen.Further examples for the use of such maximum value transmitters: Accident prevention at danger spots, prevention of overload congestion through early throttling the speeds, securing road crossings; Introduction of actually working "green waves" rch -the use of transmitters that have the maximum value set depending on the current traffic situation. This can be done if necessary be very finely subdivided in order to optimally correspond to the situation.

Die Erfindung verringert die von der Offentlichkeit zu tragenden Verkehrs-Unfallkosten und den Treibstoffverbrauch ganz erheblich. Die Verkehrspolizei wird entlastet. Städte und Dörfer können durch Einsatz von relativ preiegtinstigen Maximalwert-Sendern den Verkehrastrom wirksam steuern und das Leben der Verkehrsteilnehmer schützen.The invention reduces the cost of road traffic accidents to be borne by the public and the fuel consumption quite considerably. The traffic police are relieved. Cities and villages can by using relatively low-priced maximum value transmitters Control the flow of traffic effectively and protect the lives of road users.

Ausländische Kraftfahrzeuge, die sich nur vorübergehend in der Bundesrepublik aufhalten, können innerhalb weniger Minuten an Grenz-Service-Stationen mit einer erfindungsgemäßen Einrichtung auf Miet-Basis ausgerüstet werden.Foreign motor vehicles that are only temporarily in the Federal Republic can stop within a few minutes at border service stations with a device according to the invention are equipped on a rental basis.
